San Francisco Bay Area burlesque for May 5 - May 11, 2011

Once again, there are some very cool burlesque happenings going on this week in the Bay Area!

This evening, "On Tour" (Tournee) has been chosen to close the San Francisco International Film Festival at the Castro Theatre. This French film stars our very own Kitten on the Keys and Roky Roulette, along with Mimi Le Meaux, Dirty Martini, Julie Atlas Muz, and Evie Lovelle. It was a celebrated film in France, where it competed for the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival last year and was nominated for seven César Awards. I had heard that the film woudn't be released in the U.S., so this may be one of the few chances we have of seeing it! Plus there will be an after party featuring performances by Kitten on the Keys, Roky Roulette, Mimi Le Meaux and Evie Lovelle at at the Factory, 525 Harrison Street. Tickets are a tad spendy at $30 for just the movie, but it's less than a plane ticket to see it in another country!

Also happening this Friday will be the 10th birthday of the Hot Pink Feathers at the DNA Lounge! If you're a fan, you won't want to miss this show, as the show will feature not only the Feathers and Blue Bone Express, but also Kingfish of the Hubba Hubba Revue, the Devil-Ettes, Gorilla X, and more!

First Friday Follies will have a "Seis de Mayo" show at the Stork Club in Oakland, and Risk-A Cabaret will help prepare us for "Thee End Times" at the Aubergine After Dark in Sebastopol. Both of these shows will also be happening on Friday evening.

Next Tuesday evening, Bombshell Betty and Fromagique will be presenting a Burlesqueteer Prom at the Elbo Room in San Francisco. I bet we all wish our proms could be like that one!

Please feel free to read through the shows and see which ones interest you. Now that the weather is nice, it's time to head out and see some shows! Enjoy! :-)

MORE ABOUT BURLESQUE N BRASS:
Dubbed "the coolest jazz brass band in Northern California" by the San Francisco Chronicle, Oakland-based Blue Bone Express exposes the Bay Area to a type of jazz rarely heard beyond the Mississippi Delta. Combined with award-winning Hot Pink Feathers’ World Carnaval Cabaret dance, this explosive cabaret performance fuses music and dance traditions spanning the early-1900's New Orleans parades to the showgirl plumage of 1950's Rio de Janeiro Carnaval, the culture-clash hilarity of the '70s and '80s, and pushing through the present-day post-modern meltdown that is downtown Oakland.

“If you've never had the pleasure of seeing burlesque dancing performed to live jazz, then this is the place to start. It's like slugging down a pint of Uncle Peppy's moonshine after ten years of Nestea. It's sexy, spunky, sassy retro fun with all the heart and soul of Rio de Janeiro and the French Quarter, right there in downtown Oaktown. If you're looking for the perfect date, the perfect diversion, or just a chance to see an eminently sexy group of gifted hoofers grinding to hot jazz played by true enthusiasts, order a whiskey sour and settle into your seat for one of the best evenings the Bay Area has to offer.” Thomas Roche
