Dozens of Damsels in Dis-Dress Adorn the Steps of the Vancouver Art Gallery!!!
to command attention for
The 4th Annual Vancouver International Burlesque Festival
May 1st – May 10th, 2009
On Saturday, April 25th a chorus line of luscious lads and ladies descended upon the steps of the Vancouver Art Gallery and created a sensation. Each and every one of them a self-styled art piece unto themselves – where better to gather and display carefully crafted costumes and voluptuous physiques
The spirit of the Vancouver Burlesque community is vividly reinforced by such a large turnout. There were representatives from several different troupes, as well as a slew of sassy solo performers. These are dolls (and a handful of guys) that rarely see each other by the light of day… but there they were in all their finery at 11 am in the heart of the city. Now that’s dedication! Not since the Pride Parade has there been such a turnout of feathers, sequins and eyelashes of falsity for the public’s viewing pleasure.
Those in attendance included: Joanie Gyoza, Misty Knight, Diamond Minx, VaVa Vunderbust, Shaboobie Boobarella, Valentina Virago, Melody Mangler, Norm Elmore, The Smarty Panties, Crystal Precious, Cherry on Top, Cara Milk, Rita Star, Lola Frost, Lola Lockehart, Teddy Smooth, Johnny Bongo, Blue Morris, Farrah Moans, KT Couture, Lydia De Carllo, Burgundy Brixx, Doug the Purrfessor, Sarah Sparks, Jenny Magenta, Bon Bon Bombay, Duncan Teabags, Madame May I, April O’Peel, Maggie Pie, Precious Metal, Nicky Nine Doors, YumYum Doll, Voracious V, Lalita LaCoeur and Sassy Mittens!
After that they embarked on a Party Gras Bus Tour of the city to spread the word to the masses! Here are more sneak peeks at last weekend's capers for you!
Thank you to our wonderful photographers Frank Roberts, Philip Tong & Voodoo Bill!
