The Burlesque show was a bust (no pun intended). It would have been more aptly named the "Dallas Burl-ish Festival" or perhaps the "Dallas Burl-ing Festival"? Either way it was kinda disappointing. It was so far from what I thought Burlesque was supposed to be. The first thing we saw when we walked into the Texas Theatre was a group of girls taking turns dancing on a pole. Is that femenism? I can't tell.
One group appeared to be a hip-hop video back up dancer drill team type of thing. Those chicks were pretty scary. Also, the models were totally gay for themselves.
I was really expecting slapstick humor and a chorus of barely-dressed ladies doing the can-can but that was totally not what happened. So I guess the short-and-sweet of it is that I didn't stay the whole time, but I'm glad I went.
Also, Big J (Dallas's own!) hosted this thing. I would like to personally thank him for saying that " man, all yall lookin’ so purdy tonight, man, we got some purdy ladies in here tonight". I took that as a personal compliment and left with a way bigger ego than I should actually like to have.
