the beautiful burlesque of Helena Coy!

( Collapse )The Slomski Brothers - "Vaudeville like you've never tasted it!"-
If you've ever wondered what Vaudeville tastes like, wonder no more. The Slomski Brothers are coming to town, and they always know what to do. Both Mark Slomski and Phil Slomski started performing at an early age, but it wasn't until Mama Slomski insisted they hit the road with the family luggage, Trunk Slomski, did they realize their dream: to bring laughter and the Slomski name to the entire world. It's not a show you'll want to miss, and it's not one you'll forget anytime soon. 

Mavi - A dark fusion belly dance artist known for her compelling presence, connectivity with her audience, sensual movements, her dark aesthetic, thematic interpretations, and mastery of balancing blades. She has also been known to play with fire.....

Mab - Mab believes that every single person has superpowers. One of Mab’s super powers is the ability to find the shortest lane in at a toll booth. The other is the ability to walk on broken glass and hammer spikes into her face. Mab is a freak. You probably shouldn’t try that at home. Currently, Mab can be found monkeying around with the rest of the Cheeky Monkey Sideshow, which happens to also be DC’s longest running theatrical sideshow.

Helena Coy - Helena Coy brings classic spice to your night with her tassel-twirlin' talents and sensual striptease. Inspired by the burlesque style of the1940s and 50s, Helena Coy invokes the smoldering hot starlets of times past. Don't miss her hike up her skirt, strut her stuff, and take you back to the classic era of burlesque!

See you at The Palace of Wonders!

A trip to museums

A bunch of us met up at the National Building Museum last Sunday.

It was a lot of fun, even though we didn't get to see everything we'd planned on.

We took a tour of the Building Museum, since the Lego exhibit was sold out. Then we walked over to Clyde's in Chinatown for lunch and looked like we belonged there, with all the brass and wood. Next up was the Da Vinci exhibit at Nat. Geographic, but we were just too late, as they were locking the doors as we arrived. So we went to the zoo instead and saw red pandas, cheetah ears, and lots of birds.

All in all, a fun time.
