Again, left by Travelistic as a comment, but we think it’s so cool we’re sharing it with you:

Ah. There are some things that I think I may never, ever tire of.

A well cooked meal, a beautiful summer afternoon in Prospect Park, a well-written, well-drawn comic book and titties.

Titties!! With some many different shapes, sizes, colors, and jigglability, how could anyone ever tire from nice pairs’a juggs? But, with the proliferation of implants and internet porn, sometimes something is needed to enhance the appeal of a fine set of tetons.

Burlesque offers us real, tangible breasts, but with a classy, artistic veneer to cover up such a base desire. Some refer to it simply as Striptease but with fancy costumes and comic elements. Burlesque is said to have originated in France in the 1890’s with a woman slowly removing her clothes is search of a flea crawling across her body.
The art form has expanded and evolved a fair amount since the heyday of Gypsy Rose Lee and Mae West in the 20’s and 30’s. Here in New York in the past decade or so, Valentine’s Day Red-Headed Hunnies show at Galapagos Art Space in Williamsburg. Starring: Gal Friday, Ginger Fringe, Roja Rouge, and the organziner/manager of Monday Night Burlesque, Galapagos’ resident Red-hot Redhead: Miss Allison!

The girls were in top form. Gal Friday kicked off the night with a sultry old-fashioned long-hemmed dress with a hip-level split which she removed, revealing a Heart-Shaped “Box” (complete with a furry red bush) which she opened to reveal a delicious chocolate inside. An almost immaculate performace, if the box didn’t jam at the end and when she broke it open, the chocolate fell to the floor. It’s all right, happens to the best of us at times.

Ginger Fringe followed with one of her trademark jump-blues, fast-movin’ strip-teases. A pefect compliment to her kinky red curls and sparkle-red lipstick. Ginger’s moves are always fierce!

Miss Allison followed, offering us a classy, old-fashioned throwback of the classic days of burlesque: Her hair bobbed, her eyes done up in enormous fake lashes and sparkling eye-shadow. She offered to her adoring crowd, one of her personal classics: the feather fan-dance. Of course, her elaborate birds and skulls tattoo across her back reminded us that we’re definetely NOT back in the roaring 20’s.

Finishing off the first half was an act to remember! Roja Rouge blew the audience away, coming out on stage dressed as a naughty schoolgirl, and set to S.O.S. by Rihanna (that addictive “Tainted Love” dance

floor remix you may or may not hhve heard on Z100. . . What?) And engaged in a absolutely shameless ode to narcissism by writhing around stage practically making love to a mirror with professional stripper-level jumps and splits before whipping open an envelope full of headshots, signing one of them, and flinging them into the crowd! (complete with her myspace profile written on back.)
It’s amazing what some girls will do for fame. In this case, it’s awe-inspiring what some girls are proud to do for a little local celebrity.

Bravo ladies. And yes, the drapes match the carpet.
