Burlesque on a HOT HOT summer night
Such vaudevilian frickin old school fun...torch style singers:Super power belt-em out naughty Karen!, the suave tease Jasper, the Andrews sisters style harmonies and by the Ava, Nadine, Karen trio...then lots o tease and strippin.
All of the ladies are amazing...Nadine the ex-baptist, now burlesque queen emcee rocked the MN lutheranesque crowd out of it's comfort zone...The amazing Ned taught what folding chairs are really for...part gymnastic superstar, part Gene Kelly, part freak show superman...amazing new tricks for old chairs...Go superman, go!...
Sweet Pea shook it like no-one else, Ophelia Flame made me want to sit on my washer for a double spin cycle, the umbrella routine was sexy and the props amazing...volcanic burst of feathers (in blue?) made me want a rubber-ducky strip tease outfit too. Carmela the hula girl and her ukele man made me want to own my own coconut bra and hula skirt!
Sooo funny, a very very, tongue in cheek, hot show.
Jasper, the suave producer and his lady, the Divine Ballerina Burlesque Diva, Lily Verlaine, took burlesque and married it to art and classical music...amazing how completely it took me to a place I'd never visited before. Beauty and naughty all in one...so intelligent! Gina Louise and the gang showed how it ain't just a Man's world...So there James Brown.
Doll-faced Ava reminded me why I won't go camping, and then there was the so so great and bad, Funny Bunny and the "C" word routine that would make George Carlin blush...I'm still laughing and my fear of the c word is almost gone...how sweet that humaor can educate too.
I wondered as I drove home, who wouldn't love naughty on a summer nite? Last show for Sizzle was saturday nite at the Ritz...GO to the Fringe fest to see them in The Underpants Show, You will adore it! Promise.
