Your Life Will Never Be the Same

Burlesque Film Opening This Monday (5/18) at the Guild Cinema
A WINK AND A SMILE

May 18-21 ( Monday - Thursday) 3:30, 5:30. 7:30

Director in person at the 7:30 shows!! Plus short live performances by  BURLESQUE NOIR!
Dir. Deirdre Allen Timmons - 2008 - 91m An intoxicating mix of private thoughts and public behavior, A Wink and a Smile exposes more than the human body by putting gender, power, sexuality and social identity under the glittery spotlight, as it follows the lives of ten "ordinary" women who do something extraordinary – learn the art burlesque dancing and striptease. Through their adventures, we see how a homemaker, a reporter, a doctor, an opera singer, a taxidermist and a college student, join the American cultural revival of burlesque, as it moves from fringe fascination to mainstream obsession, engaging a world where performance art and showgirl spectacle, music, theater and sensuality crash into over-the-top glamour - a world where many want to go, but very few dare. Here's the trailer.

One month to go!

That’s right. One month to get my butt in gear for Burlesque Noir’s Greatest Tits show on May 23rd at the Launchpad.  I’ll be returning to the burlesque stage and hopefully make an ass out of myself (natch).  I am confident with the solo I have choreographed. I just need to practice and practice. The costuming needs to be worked on.  I’m still looking for that one accessory to push it over the top.  There’s only so much glitter can do.  I want to make a nice fascinator and matching clips to go on my shoes.  Methinks a trip to Hobby Lobby I should take.  I wish Vitas was here to help.  He’s pretty fucking fierce!

Boston Burlesque 2009 “ The Main Event”

Check it out! Holly Rebelle posted a video montage of the Boston Burlesque Main Event! You can see Burlesque Noir performing in the clip. There is also a good explanation of what burlesque is.  I’d just like to state, that I bump to front.

Dr. Sketchy's

Should Albuquerque get a Dr. Sketchy's? Would the ABQ burlesque scene benefit?

First, what is Dr. Sketchy's?

Dr. Sketchy's is the little Brooklyn event that became a movement. Founded in 2005 by artist Molly Crabapple, Dr. Sketchy's asked a simple question. Why can't drawing naked people be sexy?

Here's our attempt at an answer.

We combed New York to find the most beautiful burlesque dancers, the most bizarre circus freaks, and the most rippling hunks of man. Then, every other Saturday, we let you draw them for three hours. Interspersed with posing are comedy skits and ridiculous drawing contests (best left handed drawing? Best incorporation of a woodland animal?) where you can win booze or prizes.

Where are they?
They are in 80 cites and counting around the world. The closest to Albuquerque is Phoenix, AZ. and Denver, CO.

So let's answer the two questions up top. Should Albuquerque start one? Yeah why not? It's worth a shot.
Would the burlesque scene benefit? Definitely. If the world doesn't know by now about the rocking scene here, I think having a Dr. Sketchy's would help. Just saying.

Now, I've never been to one of the events. Why? Well, I think location has something to do with it. Would I go to one the next time I'm in a city with a Dr. Sketchy's. Yup. I intend to.

So I put it to the public. Should Albuquerque start a Dr. Sketchy's?
