The All-Asian Burlesque Spectacular (slide show)

The premier All-Asian Burlesque Spectacular—held at Le Poisson Rouge on Thursday, May 9—was, well, spectacular. (The show also was all-Asian and brimming with burlesque beauties—a trumph for truth in labeling!) Produced by Calamity Chang, Sukki Singapora, and Thirsty Girl Production’s Jen Gapay, the night saw Stella Chuu, Dame Cuchifrita, Minx Arcana, Hawaii's Miss Catwings, the U.K.'s Fancy Chance, Texas' Black Orchid and host Shelly "The Singing Siren" Watson taking the stage, along with Misses Chang and Singapora themselves. The night was a wonder to behold; if you missed it, here’s some photos to get you primed for next time.
