Celebrate the New Year's holiday with real San Francisco Bay Area burlesque shows!

It's time to ring in 2011, and what better way to party than by seeing some authentic burlesque shows in the Bay Area?

On Friday, December 31, the Hubba Hubba Revue will be having a New Year's Eve show with the Hi-Rhythm Hustlers and the Displayed Labors Sideshow at the Uptown Nightclub in Oakland. They'll have free champagne and a countdown to midnight in addition to lots of burlesque! The Hubbas will also have their weekly show on Monday at the same venue, so you can make it a Hubba Hubba New Year at the Uptown!

On Saturday, the Hot Pink Feathers and Blue Bone Express will be taking their show, Burlesque n' Brass, to the Blue Macaw in San Francisco. The Cafe Van Kleef in Oakland will be closed for the holiday, so they're taking their "Hair of the Dog" show on the road for this week.

Happy New Year, everyone! :-)
