The Velvet Hammer: Burlesque

Saturday, October 16, 9:30pm

Beautiful women of all shapes and sizes, glittering costumes, raunchy music, elaborate stage sets, magic, comedy and unadulterated glamour... what more do you want in a show? Come watch the women of the VELVET HAMMER BURLESQUE bring the fine art of striptease to a whole new level! In between shameless on-stage shows of feminine wiles and intimate behind-the-scenes footage, the tassel-twirling, champagne-swilling minxes debate everything from modern feminism to pastie glue. Directed by Velvet Hammer’s own Augusta, the film reveals the group’s history and features interviews with members such as Bubbles La Rue, Dirty Martini, and Ming Dynatease. The ladies explain their own wild urges for taking their clothes off, give tips on how to strip, and share some original saucy audition tapes. If you want to see girls, girls, girls then you can’t miss this arousing display of wanton feminine beauty.
