Founder & festival context (private background)

Ibiza Burlesque Festival was founded and self-funded for 10 years by Sapphira, an Australian festival-founder based in London. After recovering in her hometown Melbourne from a severe single bipolar episode 25 years ago, the festival grew as a personal comeback into a platform celebrating the resilience of artists living and creating abroad—capturing the “Aussie battler” spirit on an international stage. Kylie Minogue is cited as a role model and inspiration, and is referenced in Sapphira’s mental health recovery memoir, Burlesque or Bust.

Costume note (personal provenance)

Sapphira performed in her first-ever burlesque costume (now 19 years old), originally nicknamed “The Kylie.” She plans to take the costume back to Australia as part of a personal visit to the DIVA exhibition.

Quote

“Kylie — thank you. You showed what’s possible for an Australian building a global life through music and performance. This Official World Record tribute is made with gratitude and respect, from Ibiza.”

Official confirmation (alma mater)

The President of Official World Record is issuing formal correspondence confirming the record, including a letter to Sapphira’s alma mater RMIT which she attended 26 years ago, graduating with honours as BA in Tourism.
