NEWS: Pretty Burlesque Things

CULTURE: Pretty Burlesque Things

[Note: Airdate corrected--thanks A_Vanity]

Next Tuesday, July 19th, is the premiere of "Pretty Things" on HBO at 10:30 PM ET/PT. This documentary looks at the history of burlesque and the queens of the movement, their story told through the eyes of the film's writer/producer/director and burlesque fan and costume collector Liz Goldwyn. Snake-charmer Zorita, glamazon Lois de Fee, and the Marilyn Monroe-esque Dixie Evans all put in appearances, amidst archived clips of bygone strip routines and tours through their costume-filled closets.

Oh my goodness. I would be forever indebted to the person that would TiVo this or tape it or otherwise document this for me.

Thanks for posting this, Susannah.

Thanks, the days are flying by, but the question still stands, as I do not have the cable, and am not audacious enough to invite myself to someone's house.

Or am I?

If you happen to be down this way you know where I live.

someone is taping it for us so don't sweat it

They can't make a burlesque documentary without an appearance by The World Famous *BOB*, can they? No. They can't. I will watch. I will tape, too, if it's necessary.
