Booklover’s Burlesque is Portland’s sexiest literary salon which matches titillating, inspiring, and empowering book readings with burlesque performances all in one show!

Professional readers, actors, or local authors/writers read aloud a three to five minute piece of poetry, fiction (from any genre), memoir, non-fiction, etc, which is then followed by a burlesque performance inspired by the piece.

Performers for this edition of Booklover’s Burlesque include…

Miss Alex Kennedy
T.L. Ford
Fannie Fuller
Judy Patootie
Kat Van Dayum
Penny Paperback
Loxie Arcane, Ivana Mandalay, & Lou Velvet
Sophie Maltease & the Infamous Nina Nightshade

NEXT UP! Pre-Existing Conditions: A Burlesque & Variety Revue!

Posted by Marisa on

Kudos to Ivana Mandalay and Chris Stewart for coming up with a fascinating and timely idea for a burlesque show! Pre-Existing Conditions will showcase acts based on medical conditions that are in danger of being considered “pre-existing” – therefore, not covered – by whatever weaksauce medical plan the Incompetent-in-Chief and his equally incompetent brown-nosing minions bother to come up with when they’re not too busy saber-rattling and defending white supremacy. With a variety of performances (not just burlesque!) from Glitterati LaReaux, Dominoe DeSoto, Sundae Sparkles, Miss Darby Doll, Karlie Lever du Soleil, Layne Fawkes and Kellie Irwin, this is shaping up to be a great show! Don’t be too loud, though, or you may wake me up (I just might be sleepwalking through my act). And keep your eyes peeled for a cameo appearance by Mr. Arcane!! RSVP here! Pre-sale ticket link is here – get ’em now, they’re going fast!! SEE YOU THERE!!!

TONIGHT! Gods & Monsters: A Burlesque Tribute to American Horror Story!

Posted by Marisa on

Better late than never, eh? Ack. My apologies folks! If you’re looking for a way to spend this glum, rainy Portland Wednesday night, might I suggest the second edition of Gods & Monsters? I am so thrilled to be returning to Miss Scarlett Thrustmore‘s stage in this incredible show! If it’s half as good as last year’s, well you are in for a mighty fine treat. Unfortunately Mr. Arcane was not available to join me again for our Myrtle Snow/Spalding act, so this year I’m returning solo with an act that I know will be giving you life! And look at this line-up! Satira Sin! Judy Patootie! Amelia Ala Mode! Lolita Von Honeydew! Sloan Wolfe! Karlie Lever du Soleil! Ivana Mandalay! TL Ford! With DJ Aurora at the turntables and amazing raffle prizes! See you there!
