Burlesque has been on a comeback run for several years now, at least in Manhattan. (The place that Fox News likely refers to as "the Island of Sin", at least when they're on the air.) Heck, there's even a School of Burlesque right here in NYC.
Well, here's something that's sure to upset the prudes at Fox News and anyone else who thinks that becoming a mom means an end to shaking your groove thang onstage.
Hot Mama Burlesque was created by Raven Snook, who is herself a proud mama. The show will be presented in conjunction with Mamapalooza, and will feature performances by Camillicious (co-owner of The Slipper Room), former "Wife Swap"per Ravenna Black, The Incredible Edible Akynos, Ginger Baker (NOT the drummer from 60's supergroup Cream), and many more.
The second installment of Hot Mama Burlesque happens this Friday, May 29 at The Slipper Room (167 Orchard Street at Stanton Street). The debonair debauchery begins at 8pm; doors open at 7pm, so if you can get your babysitter to show up a little early you can have a pre-show cocktail or two. Tickets are only $10, which in Manhattan is cheaper than a movie (which now cost $12.50, for those of you who haven't seen a flick since you had kids).
For more information, visit the show's web site, or check out the ladies on Facebook. You don't have to be a mom to love burlesque. But being a mom doesn't mean you stop wanting to have fun.
