Georgina Baillie (born 7 July 1985) is an English actor, artist, post-punk singer, songwriter, and formerly a burlesque performer.
In October 2008, Baillie and her grandfather, the actor Andrew Sachs, were the targets of a prank phone call by Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross that resulted in reverberations in the British media.
Baillie performed vocals, with Sarah White on bass and Corrine Aze "Hazel" Corleone on guitar.
[3] In 2009, shortly after The Russell Brand Show prank calls, Adam Ant befriended Baillie, and as of 2011 remained close friends.
The original line-up featured Baillie with Fiona Bevan and Danie Cox both on guitars, Rachael Smith on drums and Molly Spiers Macleod (daughter of Spizz) on bass.
[12] At this point, the second incarnation of the Posse was recruited, featuring the return of Corleone on guitar, drummer Jessica Rushton and future Curse of Lono bassist Charis Anderson.
[17][18] John Robb of Louder Than War, in a full interview for the site, described Baillie's work as "punky burlesque".
[5] The Tampa Bay Times describes Georgie Girl & Her Poussez Posse's music as "fresh and rough", comparing their sound to "Hole vs Garbage vs a sexy, roller-derby squad".
[19] Baillie has worked in burlesque, some of her collaborators and projects include: Salvation Group, and Satanic Sluts Extreme, a four piece "gothic burlesque" dance group originating as an offshoot of the online subculture "Satanic sluts" organised by Nigel Wingrove; her persona's stage name was Voluptua.
[32][33] The sociologist Chris Rojeck described Ross and Brand's exploit as an "invasion of privacy", and stated that "their remorse is not focused on Andrew Sachs or Georgina Baillie, the victims whose privacy has been violated" but rather the two comedians felt remorse for receiving negative public reactions and disapproval of their stunt.
[35] The prank calls were covered in the news again in the wake of a Sunday Times–Channel 4 investigation into Brand's alleged sexual assaults of other women.
