I was in New York the weekend of this post date, well New Jersey really and visited my friend Mala. We went to a burlesque show with her friend Michelle, a transgendered he/she who I think does finance (doesn’t everyone in New York do finance?) We not only had a lot of fun, but saw some … interesting show performances. It was a graduation of sorts for students who had taken the burlesque class taught by Joe Boobs and the World Famous Bob, who was a tall, huge breasted girl that hosted the show. She also told a really long, but entertaining story about her post high school years living out of a car and crashing her soon to be gay friend’s prom night.

Burlesque is not all about boobies, although it’s a big part yes, but in a proper burlesque show you never see nips, there are always pasties on underneath. The show is more about the art form and colors and costumes and music and dance. You don’t have to be hot, you can just get up there at the age of 60 and shake what’s dangling to your toes which some middle agers did while in rain coats. That was the show. Although being hot does help. Highlights of the show were Ginger Brown, a beautiful black girl who sang and danced through the audience while removing gloves and corsettes and the like. She was very talented and I was quite impressed. Nikita, a sexy, slender girl who wore a huge feather train removed the train piece by fluffy piece while dancing around a chair. And Rosie wore a sequenced red dress likened to Jessica Rabbit and heated up the stage with her dance.

Unfortunately, we had to leave the show early cause there was a burlesque party going on across town we wanted to attend. That’s the reason we got all dolled up before hand. I wore my pin stripe suit from Thailand and Mala gave me a fedora which worked perfectly. So good in fact, she actually gave it to me afterwards. Mala was stunning in her white pearls and black dress with feathered hair of course. And Michelle wore a sequence dress. We passed around the silk scarf all night, it just makes everyone look good.

A fun weekend to say the least.
