Super huge hugs and thanks to Princess Farhana and her mom, Betsy Holland Gehman, for allowing me to reprint this story. It’s another witty chapter of Mama Gehman’s memoirs– a peek into the unglamorous side of showgirl life, 1949 New York. Enjoy. WELCOME TO NEW YORK You Won’t Be a Stranger For Long By Betsy [...]

Check it out!

About last night/Brief encounter with Ron Jeremy
The Hustler Club part of my evening lasted only about 30-40 minutes total. But since many of you are probably curious about what went down, here’s my recap:
World’s Oldest Showgirl
Dorothy Dale Kloss is amazing! 85 and still going strong! Watch the interview of the oldest “still performing showgirl”. And read about the Palm Springs Follies: They have enviably taut bodies, fitness levels that surpass most 20-year-olds and the unmistakable elan that comes only with vast experience. The 16 ladies and gents possessing those laudable [...]

Viva Las Vegas Aftermath
Great article on the Las Vegas Weekly about the VLV Rockabilly Weekender last weekend: Viva las bailout: Rockabilly Weekend brings economic stimulus, real breasts, grease monkeys The economy may be contracting—and with it Vegas’ convention business and my shoe budget—but interest in all things rockabilly is somehow inexplicably expanding. Funny thing is, it costs a [...]
Satan’s Angel Interview on American Ethnography
There’s a wonderful interview with Living Legend Satan’s Angel on American Ethnography that you should read! Satan’s Angel, known for her fiery tassel twirling, to me also epitomizes total rock n’ roll. Though sweet in nature, she’s also known for her blunt, take-no-shit sort of attitude. And if you’ve ever seen her perform, you know [...]
Amazon Fail

Via Jezebel: According to author Mark R. Probst, Amazon.com has begun pulling the sales rank numbers from several gay and lesbian books, claiming that the [...]

Great News Articles on Burlesque
I’ve been waaaaay behind on my burlesque news reading, and of course, blogging here, but I just had to share these recent articles– if you hadn’t read them yet. I’m especially happy not only because the articles are fairly well-written and approach burlesque as a legitimate topic, but for me it’s still pretty rare (and therefore a breath of fresh air) to read pieces that don’t go for the sensationalistic and ever-so-wrong “burlesque is back!” angle… (Read on.)
