San Francisco Bay Area burlesque for the week of December 14 to December 20, 2011

It looks like we're in the last stages of the holiday burlesque shows in the Bay Area before the holidays pretty much shuts things down. So get your last shakes and shimmies of 2011!

The Hubba Hubba Revue will have their big Christmas-Hanukkah Spectacular at the DNA Lounge on Friday night. Though it's stated that this will be their last Friday show at the DNA Lounge, it's not their last show at that venue. They will simply be moving to Thursday nights in 2012. They'll also be having a holiday show there with Bootie SF on Saturday night.

Bombshell Betty and her Burlesqueteers will be celebrating the holidays on Monday at the Uptown Club in Oakland, and Debauchery will be celebrating on Sunday at the White Horse Inn in Oakland.

Red Hots Burlesque will be having their last shows of 2011 this week, and their School of Shimmy will be conducing a Burlesque 101 workshop on Thursday, December 15, at Tease Me Boutique in Berkeley.

Happy holidays!
