The Evil Hate Monkey and Bradford Scobie take in The Gum Wall

Taking a break from rehearing and perfoming at The First Annual Seafarer Follies, I took my out of town talent on a Seattle Sight seeing tour which  included one of  The Worlds Top Germiest Attractions The Pike Place Market Gum Wall.  They were mystified and properly discusted and were suprised by it’s odiferous nature…..

Bambi The Mermaid

Bambi The Mermaid is not your average Chicken of The Sea, and she has the most astounding costumes related to the Sea to prove it. I could have booked an entire show just with her, but you will only get to see two of her delightful Sea Crustaceans at The Seafarer Follies this year… too bad we don’t have a tank on the stage.  This stunning photo by Andrew Brusso is a little preview (though she’s not wearing so much of her costume any more in it) of what you can expect August 6th and 7th at The Triple Door. This photo was taken at the former home of Dixie Evans in Helebdale CA, known to us Burlesque geeks as “Exotic World” where we used to trundle out to before the Burlesque Hall of Fame Museum, Pageant and Dixie were moved to Las Vegas in 2005.

Yes!!! IT’S TRUE!!!!!!!!!!

That bumpin and grinding primate is headed to Seattle to perform at The First Annual Seafarer Follies this August the 6th and 7th. He’ll be hanging from the rafters, singing a song and frolicking with his Sexy and Sassy counter part Trixie Little.

This last June he won the category of “Best Boylesque”  at The Burlesque Hall of Fame Striptease Reunion 2010,  and I wanted to share these amazing photographs he sent me that Mike Lee took of him.
