Brightest Young Things

This Saturday I saw legs, improbable ass gyration, a halter topped piano player and a thick dark bull slay a matador in pasties. God bless the performers at the Dutch Oven Burlesque show this past Saturday at Palace Of Wonders: Lil Dutch, Sugar Ann Spice, Ouioui Nonnon, Strange Powers, Ava After-Dark and Sabrina Chap. Bless their sequins, false lashes, feathered fans, and thigh-high nylons; but most of all, God bless the sexual bravado celebrated through their self-stylized identities and erotic sketches.
