Damn, burlesque is old. Part comedy show, part striptease, the art form dates back to the late 1800s. Although the old-school burly shows fizzled out with champagne bubbles during Prohibition, a new breed has been born in cities everywhere. And Miami is no stranger to neo-burlesque.
Shameless Burlesque, the biggest troupe around, celebrates five years of bringing nostalgia, sex appeal, and glamour to the MIA. Holly Peno, the ringleader; Aurora Natrix, the British bombshell; Angie Z, the songbird; Sofia Luna, the luscious Latina; and “Nasty Nictor” Shira Abergel are local celebrities, and they’ll host a “terribly girly” birthday party at the Vagabond (30 NE 14th St., Miami) this Saturday. Complimentary bubbly for ladies will flow.
The girls will perform at 11 p.m. and 1 a.m., accompanied by the Riot Act. DJs include Analog in the main room, Wasabi on the patio, and Brad Strickland in the lounge.
Sat., Sept. 21, 10 p.m., 2013
Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $16,750 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
