San Francisco Bay Area burlesque for June 23 - June 29, 2011

Last week, the World Famous *BOB* visited the Bay Area. This week, Dr. Lucky of New York City visits! She has a Character and Persona Development workshop planned for tonight, Thursday, June 23, starting at 8:30 p.m. at the Hot Pink Feathers Showgirl Academy at 128 Tenth Street in San Francisco (map). For more information, please visit the Facebook Event Page.

And since it seems it's time for New York burlesquers to visit our fair area of the world, Rosey La Rouge is scheduled to perform at Monday night's Hubba Hubba Revue show at the Uptown Club in Oakland. Twinkletoes McGee is performing also, along with local favorites such as Miss Honey Penny, Bunny VonTail, Cyanide Cyn, Dorian Faust, and more!

And this weekend is time for SF Pride, so Juicy D. Light is taking First Friday Follies across the Bay to perform on the Women's Stage in the SF Pride celebration on Sunday, June 26. The stage will be located at the intersection of Leavenworth and Mc Allister. They are scheduled to perform at 2:00 p.m., and there are a variety of DJs who will also be performing on that stage during the day. Also, the Hot Pink Feathers will be in the SF Pride Parade on Sunday! They'll be assembling on Beale between Mission and Howard starting at 10:00 a.m. They're expecting to start the parade after 11:00 a.m. so stop by and say hi! They'll be at the Rite Spot Cafe at 2099 Folsom for a post-parade event, so you can say hi there, too!

Original Sin Burlesque will be having a show at the Space Lounge at the Saturn Cafe in Berkeley this Saturday, and it will be an 18 and older show. So if you're between the ages of 18 and 20, this is a great opportunity to see a show!

Have a good week, everyone! :-)
