Do the winter months always leave you a little frigid? Finding the heat used to be difficult in winters passed. For all of the frosty receptions of the season, sometimes a little formality can help ease the tension and find a more relaxed state. Wait, what am I saying? Formal? Here? It can happen but only if it makes for things to be really, really hot.
Purple Devil Productions presents The Big Blue Ball, an evening of burlesque, music, and belly dance to make these cold, cold nights hot again.
The Big Blue Ball features the talents of
Miss Kitty Baby
La Petite Mort
Kendra Hayes
Violet DeVille
Camilla St. Sin
Scandal from Bohemia
Sara Dipity
Chesty La Rue
...and hosted by Miss Gams Galore!

"Behind the Blue Door: A Dr. Who-inspired Cabaret" is seeking act submissions!
Created by nerds for nerds, “Behind the Blue Door” is our sexy, silly take on the Whoniverse. We’re looking for performers (solo or otherwise) who share our love of Dr. Who. Do you carry a sonic screwdriver? Sleep with a TARDIS nightlight? Do you love the Doctor and yearn to show that love to the world through stripping, song, and/or dance? We want to hear from YOU. Our primary focus is burlesque, but we welcome proposals from all disciplines: song, dance, film, puppets, spoken word fanfic, pole dance… you get the picture. Send us your ideas!

Oh my goodness! The Westside Burlesque Revue last night was so much fun! For those of you who didn't go, well, you missed a real treat! So how do I follow that up?
With Debauchery of course! While I wouldn't exactly call last night's an instance of innocent entertainment, it definitely isn't what you would find at Debauchery. Like its name implies, there's a level of intimacy you generally don't find in burlesque.
Bring your dollar bills.
The performers at Debauchery may come down into the audience--and mingle--while performing. It is a very unique and worthwhile experience. A portion of the proceeds go to local queer charities that provide social and health services in our community.
When are we talking about?
The third Thursdays of the month, and in December, we're talking about the 15th. The doors open at 7pm and the show starts at 8pm.
Where will this be?
At Neighbor's Night Club on Broadway, but you'll have to enter in through the alley door. The nice ticket taker will take your money and show you the way in.
How much are we talking about?
If you buy your tickets online, through Eventbrite, before the show it's $10 per person and a group rate is available! Or you can pay at the door for $15.
Will I see you there?

Thanksgiving day will be here tomorrow, my lovelies. All of the turkey and gravy one could hope for. I know I'm looking forward to it.
You know what comes after Thanksgiving day? Yes, its Black Friday when everyone descends on the sales floor hunting for bargains. Personally, I've never been fond of the crowds and the pushing and the shoving that I've seen happen. So I just avoid the market places altogether on that day.
Do you want to know what I'll be doing? I'll be performing for your post-shopping revelry.
That's right, my dear, I will be dancing the evening of Black Friday away with some amazing people.
The always lovely Whisper De Corvo presents the Westside Burlesque Revue at the Skylark Cafe and Tavern.
I will be sharing the stage with some absolutely amazing performers including Lotti Glitterati, Whisper De Corvo, Ava Raqs, Dessi Devine, Candy Apples, Ophira, and Betty Fish.
Friday, November 25th, 2011
Doors at 9:00 pm
Show at 9:30 pm
Tickets are $7
online and $9 at the door.
This is a 21 and over show.

Oh, my lovelies, I wanted to share a wrap up of my weekend at the amazing convention dedicated to the continuing education of performers and producers in the burlesque community, BurlyCon. This was the fourth BurlyCon and my second time there. The convention ran from the Thursday, the 20th, through Sunday at the DoubleTree Hotel in SeaTac, just south of Seattle. If you perform or produce burlesque, you should be at this convention. Really, it is just that amazing.On Thursday, I began my day with a little volunteering at Registration to help things out and then ran off to “Ultimate Organization for Producers” lead by Raylean Courtney. Sadly, I hadn’t started my “BurlyCon Notes” note on my phone at this point--that started on Friday--so things are a little fuzzy. The big word she put up on the white board was "communication". I thought I did a lot of communication when it came to running my shows. Raylean puts me to shame and I walked away with a number of good ideas to make my shows run even smoother. My favorite take was from this class was the notion of remote control vibrating panties for your host as a non-verbal way for the stage manager to let the host know that she or he needs to stall. Yeah, I thought this was magical as well. The only down side of the class was that Raylean and I never got together after the class to share the black magic of Google Docs that we knew. We both use Google Docs in different ways and if we could somehow combine them, our plan for glittery domination will be unstoppable! I was saddened by this for sure, but you do know what this means, right? A road trip to Portland, Oregon, for burlesque, drinks, and spreadsheets! It’ll be grand. More...

Good morning, my lovelies!
I wanted to update you with a little performance I'm doing with an amazing and admirable group ladies at SteamCon III this weekend. What is SteamCon? Simply it is a convention geared for purveyors of all thing steampunk and The Timeless Trollop of the Gas Light District is nothing if not a steampunk at her core.
On Satruday, in the Regency Ballrooms E, F, and G, at the Bellevue Hyatt Regency, I will be joining my fellow students of ucanto Belly Dance for some American Tribal Style belly dance with a steampunk flair at 1pm. A membership for the convention is required to watch this show. The day rate is only $25 for a solid day of steampunk excitement and flair if you don't have a membership already. Friday lasts from nine in the morning until two the next morning and the full weekend membership covering Friday, Saturday, and Sunday is but a scant $55. Don't believe me that such wonders abound? Take a look at the convention schedule and see for yourself.
I hope to see you there even though there will be no burlesque in this show. I can assure you though that the music will be grand and the dancing fun.
Won't you join me, and my sisters in traveling entertainment, for a past that never was?
