The Scarlet Ladders at Red Hots Burlesque this Friday, February 25

The Scarlet Ladders will be making their Red Hots Burlesque debut this Friday at El Rio, which is located at 3158 Mission Street in San Francisco (map). They are a San Francisco-based cabaret/burlesque duo who perform on elevated stages (ladders).

In the next few months, they'll be performing at various shows around the area, including the Hubba Hubba Revue at the Uptown in Oakland, Curvicious at the Blue Macaw in San Francisco, and another Red Hots show in March. For more information about this group, please visit thescarletladders.com.

Also making her debut at RHB this week will be Babraham Lincoln of Sin Sisters Burlesque! You'll not want to wait four score and seven years to see this beauty!

Lucille Highball will be visiting from Los Angeles, and Miss Mae Western will be taking a break for a few months, so this will be one of the last chances for you to see her perform. She'll also be performing this Sunday evening at The Polk Street Lounge Burlesque & Comedy Show at the Hemlock Tavern in San Francisco. See the SFBR calendar for details.

And the Stripping Granny will be a special guest! Lastly, Dottie Lux herself will be performing, so it promises to be a very good show with lots of intriguing performers.

The show starts at 7:30 p.m., but get there early for a good spot from which to see the show!

Come with your sense of humor, get ready to hoot and holler. Red Hots Burlesque brings you the "city's best" bump and grind at the "happiest hour" in the bay!

About our debut performers:
Steps Above Cabaret! An answer to the desire for close-up entertainment in venues without a stage, The Scarlet Ladders were formed with the intent to perform in areas among and within the audience. The performers, mounted on elevated 'stages,' maximize the audience's sight-line without disruption. The spectators remain comfortably standing, seated or otherwise grouped, giving them the opportunity to relax and enjoy the show which might happen to be right next to them.

At least twice as hot as Mary Todd, Babraham Lincoln is a member of Sin Sisters Burlesque from Santa Cruz. She has recently performed at Uptown Hubba Hubba and First Friday Follies in Oakland. Babe has a taste for fine whiskey and tap dancing.

In the first hour we will go over the history of tassel twirling and you will make your very own pair of pasties with tassels. No materials fees. Supplies will be provided, but if you have a pair of scissors and/or a hot glue gun; bring it! The second hour of class will teach you those much desired and sought out moves to get those tatas-a-twirlin'! We will go over several different methods and find which option works best for you. Be prepared to wear pasties on your body. The class is a safe and respectful environment where students should feel free to toss their inhabitions aside.
