San Francisco area burlesque for the week of May 11, 2009

It's a new week dawning here in San Francisco. It's a new day. It's a new life. For me. And I'm feeeeeeling good! Ha ha. One goes to enough burlesque shows and one starts to sing some of the songs which tend to show up in acts. That one is called "Feeling Good," and it's been covered by many recording artists.

And speaking of feeling good, you'll have a several chances to do so at burlesque shows this week. The Hubba Hubba Revue "Big Show" is this Friday, Lily Burana will be appearing with some local burlesque stars on Thursday, plus you've got the monthly Barbary Coast Burlesque and Little Minsky's shows on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively.
