The Texas Burlesque Festival

As you can see I'm still behind on keeping up! Here it is, at the end of May, and I'm just now getting around to posting about TXBF, which happened in the middle of April. My next post will somewhat address (okay, not really but you'll get the idea) that I've been super swamped! And as I'm not the best at writing smooth, eloquently worded contributions to my blog, I've not been doing the best job here.

The Texas Burlesque Festival really deserves better coverage than what I can give it... Produced by Lynn Raridon and Coco Lectric, this three-night fest in Austin included performances by Imogen Kelly, Ray Gunn and Bazuka Joe of The Stage Door Johnnies, Dirty Martini, legends Tiffany Carter and Camille 2000, and more big names that you can find listed at the website here:  http://www.texasburlesquefestival.com Cora Vette hosted, along with some fantastic ladies interpreting every word (and I mean EVERY WORD) she said via sign language. And if you've ever heard Cora Vette, you know the results were hilarious! There was a delicious performer's brunch Saturday morning, along with a round table discussion, then Saturday night's performers compete for several prestigious awards. I proudly performed my Safe Cracker act on Friday night, and luckily I was on early so I could enjoy the rest of the show! Unfortunately, I had to leave the festival early and missed the Saturday night show. Like I've been saying, so busy, so busy... Hoping next time I can stay longer!
