Spirit of Burlesque

Myself, pearcider & purple_beast went to the Spirit of Burlesque show last night in Crawdaddy.

When we first arrived, we were concerned if there'd be enough people to cover costs but it filled up well before the show. Crawdaddy is a nice venue as the bar is modern & quite spacious. Not quite the theme of the event but a good venue in general & they had a DJ playing swing, rock n' roll, etc. anyway. The stage area inside did seem a little small though.

Enough of that, onto the eye candy :P There was a 4 cute usherette girls & another few girls in corsets & bustles wandering about. One girl was going around with the albino python again which is always cool. Just before the show they had an Indian dancer who did one dance.

We moved inside to the stage area & grabbed a table near the front. After a bit, Urban Voodoo Machine came on. They were excellent, really bringing up the mood. After a few songs, they broke for a bit & The Kittie Kittie Kan Kan girls came on & did the can can (bit cramped on the stage). The band came back on for some more songs then Cherri Shakewell did her thing. There was a bit of swing dancing to follow while the band took another break. Finally the band finished up with 3 or 4 more songs.

Bought a 5 track CD of the band & took about 90 photos. Great night & will make sure I catch more of the burlesque nights from now on.
