Take It Off!
Several Saturdays ago, I went to a midnight showing of Doc Wasabassco's Burlesque at Union Hall. One of the first thoughts to pop into my head upon my decision to attend this engagement was: "Finally! An excuse to wear my lavender feathered cocktail hat with my leopard-print pumps!"
Yes, these are the sort of things I spontaneously muse upon.
And before I go any further, let me just advise you all that when you're wearing stiletto heels, it is NOT a good idea to follow the HopStop directions that include the step "Walk 10 blocks south on 5th Ave."
Anyway...
I'm a big fan of burlesque (then again, I'm also of the opinion that pole dancing is a legitimate art form). Maybe it's a result of my third-wave feminist streak and love of unique and creative self-expression. Or maybe It's just because I like to look at pretty naked girls. Either way, it's fun. And as I briefly mentioned in this post, I'm also a big fan of the unorthodox and unusual. People usually associate burlesque with a kind of kitschy, old-fashioned flirtiness. Which is why when the stage went dark in preparation for this next dancer and I heard the opening strains of Tool's "Sober" — a decidedly unburlesque piece of music — I knew I was in for something interesting. And most likely unforgettable.
And boy, it was.
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you...
I do believe I'll be back for more. :)

At the end of the show, the male MC, Doc Wasabassco himself, surrounded on stage by 7 topless girls in g-strings, announced to the crowd: "Hi. This is my job. What do you do?"I do believe I'll be back for more. :)

Phrases In Spanish That I Remember Solely To Confuse People
Yo tengo queso en mis ojos.
¿Quieres albóndigas? ¡Si, siempre!
¿La basura, por favor?
¡Las balsas salvavidas!
¿Donde están mis zapatos? ¡En la biblioteca con mi gato!
¿Qué hora es? Queso.
