Dear Constant Reader,
It’s Dixie Evans Week! You can read all about it and Dixie Evans herself here on the official page.
What are we doing to celebrate this amazing woman in Boston? I’m so glad you asked!
On Saturday The Boston Academy of Burlesque Education is offing “Blonde Bombshell” a 3-hour workshop in which we will teach an entire (and brand-new) burlesque routine to “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend”, in honor of The Marilyn Monroe of Burlesque. No experience necessary! And the money goes to Dixie’s memorial fund. Brigitte, Stella, and I are going to be tag-team teaching this, so it’s going to be a *lot* of fun. Come join us!
And that evening, The Boston Babydolls present “Boston Loves Dixie” with all the burlesque you love. Tickets are Pay-What-You-Can with a suggested donation of $25. Students from the afternoon workshop get to show off what they learned at the show!
I hope you’ll join us for one or both events and celebrate The Godmother of Modern Burlesque.
