About our featured performer:
RUBY VIXEN
Sassy Spitfire For Hire', Ms Ruby Vixen has been entertaining audiences all over the Bay since 2007. She's performed with Red Hots Burlesque, The Diamond Daggers, Debauchery, and most recently at San Francisco's own Hypnodrome Theater with the Thrillpeddler's revivals of The Cockettes 'Pearls Over Shanghai' and 'Vice Palace'. With her unique combination of sass, style, and queer camp sensibilities, this dancing, singing, all sparkle all the time Vixen is sure to set your heart on fire and leave your face sore from smiling.

About our debut performer:
Belle is an international Burlesque dancer having performed on stages in the US and Europe.Belle lives up to her name, which translates as "Beautiful Freak".Her irresistible combination of beauty, grace, insanity and a total lack of inhibitions leads to an outrageous and often shocking performance which will have you on the edge of your seat, or sometimes hiding under it. Her performance is a non-verbal commentary on what it is like to be a woman. Sometimes funny, sometimes absurd, sometimes shocking;she highlights the many different aspects of women's lives and their relationships. But above all else, she always entertains.

It will be a very special evening at the Hubba Hubba Revue show this Monday at the Uptown in Oakland! The show not only will feature many of the San Francisco Bay Area's best burlesque performers, but it will also include appearances by Living Legends of Burlesque Ellion Ness and Viva La Fever!

The show will be a fundraiser for another Living Legend of Burlesque, Toni Elling (left), and the Burlesque Hall of Fame. The Living Legends of Burlesque are the performers who were shaking and shimmying in the previous heydays of burlesque during the middle of the twentieth century. Every year there is a "Titans of Tease" night in Las Vegas during the Burlesque Hall of Fame Weekend (June 3-6, this year) where the Living Legends perform. And Toni Elling needs your help to get there! And any additional funds raised will go to the BHoF itself.

Want to know more about Toni Elling? You can read an article in Detroit's Metro Times about Toni Elling and Lottie the Body. Burlesque star and teacher Jo Weldon also has an interview with Miss Elling on her blog, Daily Burlesque.

So in addition to helping out Miss Elling and the Burlesque Hall of Fame, you'll be in for a fantastic night of burlesque! Featured will be such luminaries as Kellita of the Hot Pink Feathers, Alotta Boutté, Lady Satan, and many others! The full list of performers are below in the text of the event notice.

In addition, there will be a raffle with many one-of-a-kind prizes! And if you can't make the show on Monday, don't forget that you can still help out by donating by PayPal. Instructions on how to purchase raffle tickets are also below.

I hope to see you at the Uptown on Monday night!
