Dear Constant Reader,
On Friday night, after The Rhinestone Revue, we moved next door into The Bordello for some more performances in a cabaret atmosphere with a dessert bar. The chef really outdid himself on those desserts, in particular the pumpkin pie and the lemon bars, but everything was great.
I think I can recall everyone’s acts, at least a little, since I spent a fair bit of time socializing and didn’t always catch everyone. The show was hosted by Ruby Besler, teaching us all a few naughty lessons and saying “beaver” as often as she could.
Chakra Tease teased us with a little “yogalesque”. Her balance and flexibility was impressive. Makes one want to get out the old yoga mat.
Prima Vera sang a favorite song of Scratch’s, “You Can Always Count on Me”.
Raven Gemini did a stunning number with wings of Isis.
Mona del Rio burned up the stage singing & stripping to “Proud Mary”.
Clara Coquette also burned up the stage with her fire-themed costume and veil-fans.
Doctor Vu as the X-Man Rogue, going strong even after her music cut out. The hotel sound system screwed a number of performers that night.
Vivi Noir got dirty in her bathtub. Yes, she brought her own bathtub all the way from NJ to Boston.
Maggie McMuffin got it on in her Porn Theatre to actual ’70’s porn soundtrack music.
It’s always a treat to see Vivian Vice, especially on stage. And of course she used a fan, her signature prop.
Joy Va Voi came next with a trip to a tropical isle and a fabulous headdress. Her song was incredibly naughty… if you already had a dirty mind.
FiFi Switchblade had a divided white/red costume to show her angelic/devilish nature as she danced to a song from a Dr. Who episode (really!).
Delilah Spring closed it out with her Tiki Fan Dance. I was particularly pleased to see her graceful teasing as I’m the one who taught her to fan dance.

I tend to change into a slinky black dress for the occasion. This was this year’s pick:

Don’t forget you can help The Expo with its first-ever fundraiser!
