Belltown Burlesque Revue: Where We Came From on June 14th

May 9, 2014 at 7:40 PMVioletDeVille

CopyrightWhen 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.

The Belltown Burlesque Revue: Where We Came From is on June 14th on the very eastern edge of Belltown in Seattle at the Re-Bar.

The Belltown Burlesque Revue: Where We Came From
stars The Shanghai Pearl!

Paying tribute to our roots with are Angie Z from Miami, Tamara “The Trapeze Lady”, Miss Violet DeVille, Sailor St. Claire, Olatsa Assassin, Jesus la Pinga, Cirquesse, Shae Dravenmore, and Betty Fish. The Dyke with the Spikes, Lilith von Fraumench is our Mistress of Ceremonies.

Meet the Cast: Ms. Candy Apples at the Belltown Burlesque Revue on 4/3

March 30, 2014 at 12:52 PMVioletDeVille

CopyrightSweet. Determined. Beautiful. Strong. Those four words that don't quite describe Seattle's Sweetest Piece of Eye Candy, Ms. Candy Apples. She has fought and won against breast cancer twice. This sweet piece of no-nonsense fruit is not be underestimated. 

CopyrightMs. Candy Apples lives in this rhinestoned world work with one foot in the classic burlesque genre. Think of the classic tease during the golden era of buresque; we're talking 1950's bump and grind. That puts you on the right track. The other foot is firmly planted in the nerdy pursuits of science, comic books, fandom, and more. These loves frequently surface in her nerdlesque performances. On Thursday night you'll get to see both of those feet in action at the Belltown Burlesque Revue when the Re-Bar's lights go down at 7:30 and the magic begins.

Meet the Cast: Crystal Tassels of the Belltown Burlesque on 4/3

March 29, 2014 at 1:11 PMVioletDeVille

CopyrightJust like the bottle of sparkling wine, Crystal Tassels is an excitable babe. She’s the top shelf champagne that builds up pressure until it explodes in climax of sensual tease, glitter, and wicked humor. This multi-continentalist darling, the Bubbliest Babe, is sashaying onto our stage for you.

This Thursday, April 3rd, she has two things that may be of interest to you. First is a deep, passionate love of photography or, more to the point, one specific photograph. This photographic love fest is bound to excite, titillate, and maybe change the exposure of your shot. Her second act of the evening could one of two ways: Either it’ll be poultry in motion or really fowl. Either way, you’re going to want to flock with this bird of a feather to the ReBar on Thursday for the Belltown Burlesque Revue.

March 28, 2014 at 9:28 AMVioletDeVille

Have you ever danced on the breath of the wind? Seattle’s Mythic Muse has and we're sure you will agree she is a creature of myth; both dark and mysterious, exotic and dangerously beautiful. With such dedication to her craft, Whisper De Corvo treats every performance as a legend in the making. Her performances bring vintage-inspired burlesque with a twist of the bizarre to stages near and far.

Copyright

CopyrightPower comes from the personal experience. The beauty in art is the ability to share those experiences, that power. Next Thursday, Whisper De Corvo will bring two very powerful pieces of art to our stage and she will share them with you at the Belltown Burlesque Revue on April 3rd at the Rebar.

Meet the Cast: Katie Kat of the Belltown Burlesque on 2/8

February 4, 2014 at 9:05 PMVioletDeVille

CopyrightAt least one person has noted that she can be creepy and perhaps kooky. They’ve said she’s mysterious and spooky. Still others have said that maybe she’s all together ooky. You may feel differently about this first mate of the Feisty Felines, the pirate cat girl performance group. Personally, we like to think of her as neat, sweet, and petite. On February 8th, Katie Kat will wear her heart on her black fur coat sleeve—rather than storing it in the glass jar she buries in the cemetery out back—and brings us a shockingly delightful tribute to everyone’s favorite hairless uncle. We’re positive you’ll find the performance downright electrifying when you join us for the Belltown Burlesque Revue at the Re-Bar.

Meet the Cast: Jo “Boobs” Weldon of the Belltown Burlesque on 2/8

February 2, 2014 at 11:11 PMVioletDeVille

Copyright by Allen LeeJo “Boobs” Weldon is not your average burlesque performer. In addition to her ecdysiastic exper-tease, she is the headmistress of the New York School of Burlesque, the author of the Burlesque Handbook, the vice president of the only burlesque educational and social convention BurlyCon, and the Co-Director of Education at the Burlesque Hall of Fame. Or to put it much more simply, she is an amazing icon of the art form we call burlesque. To say that we are happy to have her in the show is an understatement of immense proportions. More accurately, we are delighted. Over the moon, really. In fact we are so excited we can hardly keep our clothes on. Next Saturday we invite you to come see what everyone is talking about at the Belltown Burlesque Revue.

Meet the Cast: Seraphina Fiero of the Belltown Burlesque Revue on 2/8

February 1, 2014 at 10:46 AMVioletDeVille

CopyrightShe is the Tyler Durden of burlesque, a guerilla terrorist on stage and a master of her craft. Seraphina Fiero owns any stage that she is on and revels in pushing boundaries. Now she comes to the Belltown Burlesque Revue next Saturday with her silks to obscure and tease you, to push you, and make you meet your mortality. Stop fearing death, she intones, but accept that one day you will close your eyes and they will not open again. Accept this fact so that you may live and when death comes for you next weekend she will be there and pleasure will follow.

Meet the Cast: Mandy Flame of the Belltown Burlesque Revue on 2/8

January 31, 2014 at 4:10 PMVioletDeVille

CopyrightSeattle’s Leggy Lovely is a first class dame, a real jet setting stewardess with a lover in every port. Mandy Flame is a lady of vintage styling and pinup sensibility but she has a bit of a secret though. She doesn’t talk about it much and then, when she does, it is only to trusted confidants. It is in extreme confidence that we are sharing this with you right now. She’s secretly a nerd girl. Please, don’t spread this around, but she also goes to science-fiction conventions too. Some would be scandalized by this revelation but we’re actually pretty excited about it. Let’s see where this secret life takes her at the Belltown Burlesque Revue on February 8th.
