Burlesque

i went to a transgender burlesque show in new cross last year

not much cop

With blokes???

Fucken hell.

yeah, bit stiff for my liking

pole dancers

It irritates me that cheap Cabaret/bad strippers refer to themselves as 'Burlesque'.

its not Burlesque at all, Burlesque has more in common with theatre than strip clubs. Burlesque is/was meant to be comedy, sometimes risque, but not a bunch of slappers in bad lace waggling their tits about and calling it art.

There, I said it.

also, that is the most un-'Burlesque' flier ive ever seen. looks like a minimal techno night.

yeah.... sould have more tits on.

Spot on Balki. more norks and more minge or its a chin stroking ensemble of techno loving gypsies

Fuckin gypos.

Fuckin gypos.

Burlesque = strippers for the middle classes. At least have the courage of your convictions...

spot on - Burlesque is rubbish! It's neither entertaining nor sexy - double fail.

^ Ha!!

haha! still though... might be a good night!!>??? haha

i agree with the flyer being a bit pants! and not really reflecting what they are trying to sell. hopefully the flyer doesnt reflect the night.

:D

spot on squared. I got dragged to see a "burlesque" night with some colleagues last year. It was blatantly just some averagely talented but failed west end musical theatre drop-out who'd decided to mine the burlesque thing by dressing up the stage in velvet and hiring a vaguelly jazzy bunch of musos to back her. iched and fidgetted though two hours of her mincing about showing a bit of fishnet whilst crooning woozy brecht and tom waits songs. it was unmitigated shite and there were thousands of people who'd payed to sit though this pretentious boring shit.

strippers = hookers for the morally timid. no happy ending. at least have the courage of your convictions and hire a prostitute.

I've been taken for a lunchtime pint to the White Horse.

Bleak stuff.

I am familiar with this establishment

:(

I have seen two shows, both good but then I love a bit of Cabaret, finished off with a night cap down torture gardens. i thought it was a hotel bar.. honest...

I ended up in a brothel in Kings Cross in Sydney like that once. I went up for a trip with my girlfriend at the time and arrived a night earlier. I knew I wouldnt have the chance to hang around the famous cross when she arrived as she was a fucking uptight, repressive bitch who could kill a good time just by looking at it.

Anyway, a hooker (who was actually pretty tidy if I recal correctly) was soliciting business out the front of a disgusting brothel/live sex strip joint. I stopped to talk to her as I lead a lonely and unfullfilled life and the false affection gave me momentary affirmation. Anyway, I told her I didnt want to have sex, but I wanted to get drunk and look at boobs. She led me downstairs to what I thought was the bar, but we ended up in a little room with a bed, an armchair and a big fishbowl full of rubbers. I protested and repeated myself that I didnt want to dip the wick. She replied, "yeah, I know but I thought I'd try it on anyway" and led me to the bar.

I dont mind the underbelly of cities and have a preference for nasty bars, but this place smelt of piss and desparation. I drank cans in the park looking over the harbour bridge.

It was pretty fun.

haha, what a story!!!

I used to live on Darlinghurst Rd about 12 years ago, fucking awesome. Balki describes the majority of the establishments in that area rather well.
