Soap Box Talk About Getting Dirty

little did i know that when i got on my soap box about burlesque changing that i was being a prophet. the suicide girls were supposed to be a group of punk girls performing burlesque. the key word there is "supposed to". i expected to be a bit uncomfortable with the boy's mom along. i did not expect to yawn my way through most of the evening.

every number started the same. the girl[s] appeared on stage wearing little more than a tube top and some sort of bottoms. the bottom varied a bit between skirts, tutus and hot pants. the girls got on stage wearing very little and then took it off. you did not have to use your imagination to imagine what they would look like nude because they didn't have much in the way of clothing to begin with.

i may be stuck in the mud on this but i like the idea of the girls wearing something to actually strip off. you should be wearing enough clothes so that you could walk around without too much notice. that's what makes it interesting. seeing some girl suddenly start peeling is very cool. seeing some girl hop on stage in lingerie and then remove it isn't very exciting.

the boy and i thought that this whole experience was dullsville. we kept waiting for the numbers to get better. the place was packed and that's a bad omen. what went on was more like bad stripping and it was pretty pathetic.

now i'm going to get off of my soap box about this. if you enjoyed the show or something like it i'd hate to rain on your parade. this is just one girl's opinion...
