the burlesque newswire

After the spelling bee this past Monday, I went to see Veronica Varlow's debut burlesque performance at Galapagos. It was a tremendously clever striptease in which Veronica came on stage in a dress and crinoline, holding a bouquet of flowers, and attempted to climb over and through a barbed wire fence, progressively catching more and more of her clothing on the barbed wire and having to remove it to free herself.

I recognized the dress itself (not that it was on for long) from DangerDame, Veronica's online clothing boutique. Go buy a dress! Or, even better, go buy a dress and send it to me! My birthday is, um, not coming up anytime soon at all.
