I'm just contemplating my advancing schedule this weekend and thought I would share.

The line up is simply amazeballs and includes some of my favorite people! Folks like Candy Apples, Cherry Tart, Miss Kitty Baby, Inga Imgenue, Dahllia Ste. Cyr, EmpeROAR Fabulous!!!, Gema Lusterious, and more! Seriously, this going to be a fun show and you're not going to want to miss this!

Then we dive into the opening weekend of Worlds' End Burlesque Revue: An Evening Inspired by the Works of Neil Gaiman at the Re-Bar for a 4 night run on Friday. If you're looking to spice up summer reading then this is the place to check out with performances by Ivy DuPri, Vixen Valentine, Inara Echo, Morgue Anne, Czech Mate, Penelope Rose, Solange Corbeau, Lana Milk-n-Honey, Candy Apples, Chocolate Saucy, and Kendra Hayes.

When June comes to call, some people like to look back at the first half of the year and see where they came from as they plot the way forward through the rest of the year. Here at the Belltown Burlesque Revue we not only approve of this approach, we’re going to do it one better! We’re going to spend an evening looking at the roots of the neo burlesque movement through the lens of classic burlesque! It’s an evening of tributes to those who laid the foundation we dance upon and a celebration of the classic bump and grind.

Taxes this year are due on Monday, April 15th. We know a lot of you may be working late the weekend before to get them all done and in on time. We appreciate that. So after you’ve finished carrying the one and referencing table A on document 1086, we think you should reward yourself with a little shimmy, some bump and grind, and some of Seattle’s amazing burlesque performers. We’ll even start later for you. On Saturday, April 13th, we'll be staying late for Sunday's Early Edition of the Belltown Burlesque Revue. Some may call it a late show, starting at 11:00 pm and doors opening at 10:30 pm, we consider this the extra early Sunday Morning Edition. Either way, it'll be an amazing way to enter into the new week.

As the reality storm comes to a head seek refuge at Worlds' End and stay for the stories

Join us for an extravaganza of clever and sassy homage to the many worlds of Neil Gaiman, a prolific writer with notable works spanning comic books, novels, children's books and stories, television series, and film. With genres ranging from fantasy to science fiction and the occasional epic children's tale, the stories you'll see are quite diverse.

The tales involve a goddess, Beldam and her doll, the heart of a blue box, a young woman who is far older than she appears, an enslaved faerie, the very essence of dreams personified, and more.

Performing for you on these June nights are Ms. Vixen Valentine, Kendra Hayes, Candy Apples, Miss Violet DeVille, Ivy DuPri, Czech Mate, Miss Penelope Rose, Morgue Anne, Stella Vaughn, Lana Milk-n-Honey, and Pacific Syren. Lilith von Fraumench will help us navigate the troubled skies and find safe haven.

On July 30th, my oldest niece, Christy, was driving on U.S. Highway 287 just north of the Colorado-Wyoming border where she hit a patch of wet road after a summer storm. Her Dodge Neon hydroplaned and crossed into oncoming traffic, sliding into a semi. Her injuries were severe enough that she was air lifted to Denver Health for treatment in Colorado.

She is out of the ICU now and in rehabilitation for her severe brain injuries. She still has a long way to go.

Christy wanted to come to Seattle and explore the independent music scene and this thing called burlesque that her crazy aunt did.  

With five weeks in the intensive care unit and ongoing treatment at a hospital specialized in the rehabilitation of brain injuries, her medical bills are going to be staggering. 

Here's where you can help.

Go see a burlesque show.
