Blackhoodygrrl performs Monday at Hubba Hubba Revue's Uptown Club show

When you wander the stacks of the local university libraries, do you ever wonder if some of the librarians are actually belly dancing warrior goddesses of the apocalypse to come? Well, wonder no more, for Blackhoodygrrl is one of those goddesses and she'll be performing this Monday at the Hubba Hubba Revue's show at the Uptown Club in Oakland.

The name Blackhoodygrrl describes "an archetypal idea: a living symbol of mystery and duality, inspired by a deep love of medieval Irish monasticism and the Sacred Dance." If you'd like to get more of an idea of what has inspired this artist, and to see her picture galleries, be sure to visit her site at blackhoodygrrl.com!

Also on the bill are Josie Starre, Amelia Mae Paradise of the Diamond Daggers, Jellyfish Kiss, and more!

What is it? (recap)
You may have heard of ChatRoulette.com - the infamous web site where you're randomly matched up with someone on a web cam, who may be anywhere in the world... any who may be doing anything.

The Illuminated Theater conjoins Web 2.0 with live cabaret, bringing together Chatroulette.com and a live variety show. Professional singers, performance artists, improvisers and more take turns performing for both a live audience and random users of ChatRoulette, who the audience gets to watch on a large screen.

And, for those who want to participate, it’s also a drinking game.

In sum - The ChatRoulette Show is where cutting-edge, multimedia theater meets. Visit http://www.chatrouletteshow.com for details.

Super Happy Funtime Burlesque
With The End Times Orchestra

Super Happy Funtime is the Midwest's only sexy musical comedy theatre. Imagine Rocky Horror Picture Show meets Saturday Night Live with a live band. Each show is a unique mix of exciting and daring performances, hosted by an emcee you can't take your eyes off. Sexy and cute dancers perform thematic stripteases. There is naughty comedy and scathing satire. The shows also include magicians, circus performers, and smoking music by The End Times Orchestra.

Boasting a 7 piece oddball orchestra to supplement the striptease and a high emphasis on original music, comedy, and avant performance art, SHFB is one of the more unique variety show acts to come around. Think Benny Hill had he been offered the starring role in Rocky Horror and you might be on the right track, if Tevye from Fiddler on the Roof had a favorite act this would be it. SHFB has had its share of notable collaborations, including Richard Elfman, Just Larry (Ringling Bros. Circus' head clown), World Famous Brett (Cirque du Soleil), director and Magazine photographer Erik Voake, Hustler cartoonist John Bilette, Bobby Conn, Buckwheat Zydeco, Detholz, and Man Man's Chang Wang.

Little Minsky's Burlesque/Variety Show this Thursday, August 12

Douglas Good invites you to this month's Little Minsky's Burlesque and Variety Show at Club Deluxe in San Francisco on Thursday night. Little Minsky's is one of the longest-running monthly burlesque shows in the San Francisco Bay Area!

This month, Minsky's welcomes Sailor St. Claire from Seattle, and local favorites such as SF Boylesque, Vienna la Rouge, Flame Cynders (of Fishnet Follies), Dottie Lux (of Red Hots Burlesque), and Chi Chis DelFuego! Plus there will be vocalists, belly dancers, and thrills galore. Read below for all of the juicy show details!

Ladies and gents, get ready to shake it up, drink it down and let the good times roll at the next Little Minsky's with special guest MC Veronica Klaus, stellar and stylish cabaret chanteuse of the soulful serenades and sparkling wit. And let's bring on the dancing boys! That's right, we have a hot number from SF Boylesque, one of the only bay area troupes where the fellas flaunt it in fine vintage fashion. And how's about a little shimmy from the stunning trio Sister Kate with their theatrical blend of belly dance, burlesque and timeless sideshow spectacles. Speaking of sideshow attractions, let's hear it for the triumphant return of the multi-talented Molotov, swallower of swords, thrower of knives eater of fire and all-round inspired madman. As for the solo burlesque beauties we have the ever-elegant and enticing Vienna la Rouge in all of her luxurious custom costumery, the smoldering and seductive Flame Cynders, vivaciously voluptuous Dottie Lux (of Red Hots Burlesque), the fetching and festive Chi Chis DelFuego and a warm Minsky's welcome to the nautically naughty Sailor St. Claire visiting from the Tempting Tarts in Seattle. And yes, we'll have some playful tunes from our favorite glamorous Russian drag diva and inventor of popera music - Countess Katya Smirnoff-Skyy. (No, that's not a typo, popera is the choice hybrid of pop music and opera.) Piano accompaniment for the evening provided by Michael McIntosh of The Cottontails.

It's quite the line-up, so stop by, settle in with some tasty cocktails and enjoy the show...

About our debut performers:
Cherry Poppins is a radical queer femme artist, performer, writer, and organizer. She just moved to the Bay Area from Austin, TX, where she spent 7 years producing a drag/queer burlesque troupe, co-founding a radical queerleading squad, launching the Austin chapter of the Femme Mafia, building community, making zines, and organizing events (she's keeping herself busy here in the Bay, as well). She's committed to anti-racism, social justice, and building consent-based cultures. She crafts like it's going out of style, journals obsessively, and leaves a trail of glitter in her wake.

MISS MAE WESTERN!!!
I was born in the jungle, originally given the name Jesse Rose aka The Jesse Rose of Texas. Maybe even then they knew I'd be too much for just one name. After learning my way around the wilderness as a child I then learned my way around the savages as a young lady. Now instead of trying to tame I practice the art of tease. I've been dancing since I knew I had hips and flirting since I knew it was fun. Why don't you come up, see me some time!?
