Burlesque Tourism With Michael Prior
Los Angeles burlesque darling La Cholita growls at the crowd and spins her tassels counterclockwise. Across the Pacific, Australian sirens throw on American drag and mix tight gingham blouses with sailor hats. Photographer Michael Prior gets the best shots from the footlights. More »

Lucy Fur Makes Us All Warm And Fuzzy
What is there to like about Lucy Fur? What isn't there to like? For starters, she's one of the queens of Portland burlesque, which looks impressive enough on a resume, but that's not all. She's modeled for photographer Steve Diet Goode (among others), she takes photos, she's in photos—she's even published a picture book of her self-shot adventures in various seedy motel rooms around the country. Plus, there's the name, which is just makes us smile for so many reasons. See, it's possible to go naked and have your Fur too. More » -

Our infatuation with Miss Kittie Klaw began years ago, but just got a fresh boost with her superb (and ginormous) article for the Independent about sexual fetishes. Then again, just ogling Miss Klaw is enough to make us sit up and bark for more. (independent.co.uk) -

Lady Satan Channels Sarah Palin (And Not Vice Versa ... Yet)

Fleshbot Fashion Police: If The Pastie Fits ...
We know what you're thinking: "Oh puh-leez, Fleshbot Fashion Police, you're just featuring pasties in this post because you want to show pictures of boobies." Actually ... well, actually we have no clever retort to that, because it's pretty much true. But our fixation with boobs aside, pastie making is a serious art! Well, not that serious, but still it requires enough skill and creativity that there are people out there who make pastie making their speciality—and it's those people we are taking a closer look at in today's Fleshbot Fashion Police feature. And yes, we will be looking closely at the boobs that those pasties are ostensibly covering up too. Happy now? - Audacia Ray

Mirth And Beauty: Smiles, Everyone, Smiles!
Since we're drawn to words here at Fleshbot almost as much as we're turned on by a good sense of humor (looking at naked boobs all day is really just an excuse to write funny things about them, honest!), we were immediately intrigued by the title of Chicago artist K Leo's online portfolio. Finally, an art nude photographer who didn't take himself quite so seriously! Which isn't to say that the photos on display at Mirth And Beauty aren't professional or anything—on the contrary, they're among the most technically accomplished (and sexiest) art nudes we've come across lately. And while K Leo's definition of mirth may not include things like naked babes in clown makeup, there's still more than enough beauty in his work to make us smile. When one of your subjects is a Chicago burlesque performer named Kitten Kaboodle, it's hard not to. More » -

The Gong Show Returns: Bring On The Naked Freaks!
Have you heard? The Gong Show is back! We were very excited to learn of this development, because we like nonsensical performance art and big shiny metal objects. But mostly we're just tuning in hoping to see whatever 2008's version of The Popsicle Twins might be. After all, the very first episode featured this bizarre, yet acrobatic, pseudo-burlesque act and because outrageous behavior and gratuitous nudity can only help you in this environment, the big finish involved clothing removal. It can only get better—and by "better" we mean much, much worse—from here, right? More » -

Sandy Kane: The World's Worst Singing Stripper
People like to do crazy things to get attention—like competitive eating or growing a handlebar mustache or, ahem ... blogging. Or they can take their clothes off while singing their own made up novelty songs about hookers and blowjobs. Sandy Kane is sort of like a cross between Belle Starr, "Weird Al" Yankovic and that "Chocolate Rain" guy on YouTube. She's old (not that there's anything wrong with that), she has an awful voice, and she's possibly a racist ... but try watching this video of her version of "Gloria" without finding yourself mesmerized. We can't really judge her stripping abilities based on this, but the singing is definitely not going to help with the tips. More » -

Dr. Sketchy's Gets Drunk On Absinthe
We've heard rumors about the crazy things that absinthe can do, but we had no idea that it was capable of turning mild-mannered burlesque performers into wild, nearly naked absinthe fairies. Last weekend, Le Tourment Vert took over New York City's venerable burlesque life drawing salon Dr Sketchy's Anti-Art School ... and from we hear, no one escaped unscathed. Pictures of the madness after the jump. More » -

Old Strippers Never Die, They Just Use Less Body Glitter
It's not often we stumble across a story about a stripper who is old enough to be our grandmother, but to find two in one day—well, that just makes us think of our own aging relatives and that always kills the mood. It also makes us wonder if we'll still be blogging when we're 80, because the side-by-side tales of two strippers still shaking their goods for audiences past the age of 75 teaches us that if you find a job you're really good at, you might be stuck there for awhile. Maybe they've stopped doing acrobatic pole maneuvers—but if you strutted your stuff for Frank Sinatra and banged Elvis before he was bloated, you can pretty much call your own shots. More » -

If you're like us, you were probably raised on a steady diet of "Dynasty" reruns and an old VHS copy of "The Bitch."

#underboob
Here's some fun trivia: The Palms Casino in Las Vegas does not allow underboob! (Seriously, it's written into their gaming license.) So why would they book a weekend of erotic burlesque dancing at their hotel? More importantly, why is Las Vegas still calling itself Sin City? (canada.com) -

And speaking of those horned-up chroniclers of contemporary pop culture at the New York Times this morning, it was sorta cute to see them discovering this sexy new phenomenon called "neo-burlesque" which all the kids in New York City seem to be hip to these days. Next thing they're going to tell us is that people show up with pencils and paper to draw the semi-naked models at these events too! (nytimes.com) -

Boing Boing visits artiste and provocateuse Natalia Fabia's first annual Miss Hooker Beauty Pageant and sees lots of pasties and burlesque-style wackiness, if little by way of actual hookers. We won't spoil the suspense and tell you who walked away with the crown, but we will just say that we were expecting a lot more from Miss Squirt's act in the talent competition. (Then again, we guess it wasn't that kind of a pageant.) (video @ tv.boingboing.net) -

Porn Valley (Adjacent) Dispatch: Kylie Ireland Makes A Burlesque Of Her Porn Career
Many of us can't keep a job; sitting here at the tentacle bar of the China Star 2, we wonder how many of these ironically-bandannaed fry cooks will be here next week. But Kylie Ireland has been a porn star since the last century (she won AVN's Best New Starlet award in 1994) and this weekend she will bump and grind her way into your heart in her very first burlesque show.

Meet Cherry Bomb: Burlesque "Badass"
Depending on which bars you happen to hang out in on a Saturday night, burlesque is either a dying art form or an entertainment that's been undergoing an extended rebirth. Truth is, there are many places where burlesque dancers thrive and twirl to the delight of hip young things who know how to appreciate babes with sexy moves. Self-proclaimed Brooklyn "badass" Cherry Bomb is one such lady of the stage who not only shakes it for her fans, but chronicles her world on a smart and entertaining blog. We sat her down to see what makes her tassels spin. More » -

Exploring The "Demimonde" With Molly Crabapple
The last time we found ourselves enjoying the hospitality of Fleshbot crush object Molly Crabapple, we were at the Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art Show, a fabulous night of gogo girls, debauchery ... and, yes, art. This Friday, Molly's back in the art spotlight with "Demimonde," a solo show at New York's Arena Studios curated by friend of Fleshbot Audacia Ray. We stopped by the gallery last night for a preview of her work (and a chat with Buck Angel, who happens to be featured in one of the portraits). Click through for a preview gallery of Molly's art, and be sure to stop by Arena Studios this Friday at 7pm for the opening reception. (And a session of sexy burlesque life drawing. It's not just about culture, you know.) More » -

Dragstrip Groupies Rev Up Our Engines

Well, hop in your hotrod and head over to Dragstrip Groupies, a fantastic free site full of sexy video clips from the fifties, sixties, and seventies. We're not really sure where the dragstrip fits in to all of this — we did mention all that full pubic hair, right? — but honestly, we were too distracted by the boobs to care. More » -

She might not have made it to tonight's America's Next Top Model finale thanks to Tyra and company being unable to decide whether she was a plus-size model or not, but that hasn't stopped the curvalicious Sarah Hartshorne (aka "Vita Lightly") from performing with burlesque troupe The Boston Babydolls this coming weekend. So if you're into sexy girls with a little meat on their bones—and you happen to be in Boston—come out and show your support. (And Tyra: take a hint.) (buddytv.com; more @ BostonBabydolls.net) -

Rockin' Naked Babes By Team Rock Star
So just how rock star is Team Rock Star? Don't let that photo of Celine Dion or all those kids' portraits fool you—their portfolio is kickass enough to feature lots of hot naked girls, with plenty of tattoos, guns, and corsets thrown in for extra rock star cred. OK, so we don't see much by way of drugs or actual rock 'n' roll—but really, isn't sex the most important part of that whole equation anyway? More » -

God Bless Lili St. Cyr!
For current audiences raised on a diet of dirtpipe milkshakes and anal creampies, the name Lili St. Cyr is probably best known from a throwaway line in "The Rocky Horror Picture Show". But in her day, Lili was every bit as much of a superstar in her field as Jenna and Tera are in theirs (i.e., fashion design and pot smoking, respectively). Author Kelly DiNardo's brand new "Gilded Lili: Lili St. Cyr and the Striptease Mystique" puts the spotlight back on one of burlesque's brightest stars, and chronicles a life that includes six husbands, several obscenity trials, a handful of "art" films, and a successful lingerie line. So if you ever wondered what Janet was going on about ... well, now you know. More » -

Good Vibes Amateur Erotic Film Fest: It's A Wrap
It seems like every city worth its weight in smut has its own erotic film fest these days, and as your humble porn zombie blog slaves, we know it's our duty to cop a feel of each event and report back on how the body count rates. Fortunately, we haven't been let down yet, and the 2007 Good Vibes Amateur Erotic Film Competition in San Francisco last week was no exception. Hot amateur porn, lickable fetish and kink models, and a tassel-twirling burlesque intermission sweetened the pot. Find a review, some hot links, and plenty of photos and video after the jump.

Dr. Sketchy's Salon Takes Over Brooklyn
We thought Fleshbot crush object Molly Crabapple had hit the peak of artsyysexycool with Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School, her biweekly (and occasionally bicoastal) cabaret-meets-life drawing session at NYC's Lucky Cat. After all, what could be cooler than a combination of booze, art, and hot burlesque models? But this past weekend, Ms. Crabapple proved us wrong and went one step further with Dr. Sketchy's Salon, an art party held in a Williamsburg loft. In addition to the usual Dr. Sketchy's trappings, the salon featured more models, more games, cupcakes, dinner, bodypainting, and hookah smoking than you could shake your pencil at. Kicking yourself for missing it? Fear not: Crabapple and her crew are planning another one for early next year. And who knows? Someday it might even be coming to a hipster neighborhood near you.

L'amourvision: The Videos That Go Pow!
Burlesque bigwig Michelle L'amour has had quite a year, going from a brief gig on a game show nobody watched last summer to the internet's newest multimedia mogul today. She recently started her own video channel on Veoh (which is apparently back in the boobie game) featuring exclusive clips of all her ass-shaking antics. There's showering, old school striptease, pillow fights and the self-made documentary, "Behind the Behind," that chronicles some of her daily adventures. It's like all the Michelle of a regular website, only with 75% more jiggle. More » -
