Last show of 2009! December 27, 2009 Line Up

What an amazing two months I've had producing, hosting, and performing with all the talented performers at this show! Sundays have become the only day I look forward to all week. Let's face it, do I really look forward to sitting in front of a computer designing banner ads for 8 hours a day in midtown? I'd rather take my clothes off on stage! I must be the luckiest girl to have such great friends who are also amazingly talented performers, singers, and musicians. It's pure magic when all those elements collide. To top off the year, I am hosting a New Year's Eve Soiree "Decadent Decade" at Chow Bar for those of you seeking a more upscale, elegant and bewitching way to ring in the new year. In addition to the fabulous fabulous soiree, this Sunday's show is going to be a total knock out!

First up is Darlinda Just Darlinda! One of NY burlesque scene's veteran performers, DJD has been featured in Time Out, Italian Marie Claire, and the Village Voice calls her, "a Mastermind of Bizarre Extravaganza”!



The Maine Attraction has worked for and along side such artists as Pharell Williams, Jessica Simpson, James Brown, DJ Tiesto, DJ Carl Cox, DJ Johnathan Peters, Lebanese Pop Stars Haifa and Cherine and fashion designers Patricia Field and Marc Jacobs. And yes, she's here this Sunday!


Weirdee Girl, performer and producer of the burlesque show Gotham Underground in Brooklyn, this fiery flame-haired maitresse is part retro Hollywood glamor and part geekery!



Look, it's a boy in the midst of boobs and glitter! Benjamin Ickies will demonstrate serious accordion skills with some classic cabaret tunes.




Look, it's another boy! Hailing all the way from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Jon Bryant will make you swoon not because of that rugged, "I'm a salt of the earth fisherman" handsome looks but because his single "Deaf" is currently the iTunes Free Single of the Week which he will perform at Dim Sum Burlesque!


Now back to the ladies, the only Russian Princess openly "in hiding" in NYC, is back this weekend to unveil her real secret identity! If not that, she'll unveil something else equally secretive. (wink wink)



Guest Star Broadway Brassy will stun you with that set of powerful, mighty, and absolutely GORGEOUS - lungs! What did you think I was going to say, you deviant.

And myself, Calamity Chang, will be there to make sure you are touching yourself or the person next to you inappropriately. See you Sunday!!





We are skipping a show on Sunday, January 3, 2010 to re-attach fallen rhinestones and jewels from our thongs and pasties. But we will be back fiercer and larger than every on Sunday, January 10, 2010!

December 13, 2009 Line Up

Have you ever seen a turnip that big?? That's what she said! (see previous post) All joking aside, we have a really stellar line-up of performers this weekend. One who is a world-traveler and I have seen her so many times and every time, she blows me away.

Our favorite accordionist Benjamin Ickies is back this weekend and believe you us, we're making him WORK! He will be doing a solo number plus a couple of accompaniments to the girls' acts. That man knows how to SQUEEZE.



Pandora is back with a new act never before seen. We know what it is, but you'll have to come and find out.




Our special Guest Star Broadway Brassy will sing a few new tunes for you.





Lo and behold, it's The Maine Attraction. She will definitely set a fire to your Sunday night. Hint. Hint.




Don't wink or you'll miss what magician Jeff Grow is going to be doing at Dim Sum Burlesque.




As usual, I will be there to say ni hao, hola, and hellooo! (Yes, I'm tri-lingual)
Hope to see you Sunday!

December 6, 2009 Line Up

Can you believe it's December already? I am not the one to say, "Where did the year go?" I know where my year went.

Plume de Lune - Making her debut at Dim Sum Burlesque, this new face has kittened at numerous places in NYC such as Duane Park and Sweet and Nasty Burlesque.




Dame Cuchifrita - This Dim Sum regular puts the oomph into everything she does much like Sriracha hot sauce!

Weirdee Girl is back! Debuting a number mysteriously only known as "the silver one"... how festive!
