Seattle’s Hottest Traditional Burlesque Show of 2010! A Full on Celebration of Femininity!
The Film “ Burlesque Undressed” @ 7:00 PM
Burlesque has shimmied itself into the mainstream ever so slyly that now even Cher and Christina are hopping on the bump and grind wagon! But before Hollywood goes all mainstream with their interpretation of the Art of Burlesque, there are now quite a few documentaries on the subject from different view points and perspectives that you should make yourself familiar with starting with “Burlesque Undressed” Directed and written By Allison Grist is a great addition to this growing genera in film and is a loving look into the history, costumes, the current bombastic explosion of Burlesque, with historical film clips and interviews with costumers, historians and several of the beautiful and original Ladies of Golden Era of Burlesque including Joan Arline.
British Reviews about ” Burlesque Undressed”;
“This curiously innocent little British movie is a celebration of the revival of the art of the striptease artist” Phillip French – The Observer
“Cheerfully entertaining” Peter Bradshaw – The Guardian
“Warm, celebratory, cheeky, glamorous and revelatory” – ODEON
The Show @ 8:45PM
This is my only full on traditional Burlesque Show of the year and it is all High Glitz, Glamour and Sex Appeal, it may very well be the sexiest show of the year to hit the Triple Door stage. This is the only show that can boast having 3 Internationally renowned Miss Exotic World title holders and a Living Legend of Burlesque in one night!
The show stars Miss Exotic World 2007 - Immodesty Blaize “Britain’s Crown Jewel of Burlesque” – the hottest British import since Marc Bolan and she is 100% W.O.M.A.N ! Immodesty will have you wiggling in your seats with her Bombshell Va Va Voom and Sass, her costumes as stunning and unless you are planning a trip to London anytime soon this is your only opportunity to drool and see her in the flesh …. in Seattle.
Miss Exotic World 2004 Miss Dirty Martini, is the walking definition of Burlesque, she definitely is tapped into the era of her fore mother Jenny Lee “Miss 44 and Plenty More” just like Lee she is the consummate crowd pleaser. Dirty has been making quite the International splash with performance all over the planet, including film rolls and recently was featured in a fashion spread shot by Karl Lagerfeld for V Magazine! The World Premier of her own film “Dirty Martini and The New Burlesque” is at SIFF Cinemas March 29th.
Just added to the line up is Miss Exotic World 1992 & 1994 Catherine D’Lish there is a reason why this Sex Pot Red Head is a two time winner and we all winners as she recently moved to Seattle. Miss D’Lish is known for her classic Strip Tease and over the top elaborate costumes and oozes like I said S.E.X. and had more titles under her shimmy belt than any other gal working in Burlesque today.
Living Legend of Burlesque Joan Arline “The Sexsquire Girl” now in her 70′s is just finished up her roll as “Electra” in a stage production of Gypsy at The Palm Canyon Theater. She has been in the business of Burlesque since her early 20′s. The Sexquire Girl is known as a walker , her performance is elegant and stunning and remarkably performing in one of her original costumes this evening.
All four of these ladies are in the film “Burlesque Undressed”.
To round out the night are Seattle’s own shakers and movers of The Seattle Burlesque scene Miss Indigo Blue and Miss Inga Ingénue , who both will be performing tribute acts to ladies of yore Wild Cherry and Sally Rand. Hosting the show is The Swedish Housewife.
