went to suicide girl show in DC last month or so - it sucked. started super late. venue was super smokey. preband was horrible. the girls recorded music was good. couldn't see the girls because you couldn't get close and the haze from ciggies (bleck) and they had NO moves. announcer said something about the girls having huge "boobs" - well girl friend had nothing on me! not to mention many of them had little to no ink visible (from the back), piercings, brandings, scarifications, or other modifications. Hmmpf.

And if you care at all to have people accept you into the community and be nice and/or sympathetic, you may want to take a deep breath and say something positive about things before being so relentlessly critical. Perhaps you misunderstood what the burlesque show was about. Perhaps you missed out on some significant portions of the show because of the poor visibility (which it seems has been an epidemic that all the venues on the tour have had in common). I really don't know. But unless you are a little kinder in your criticisms, people are just going to assume you had unrealistic expectations going in and are just bitter.
Just tryin' to help. I know sometimes it seems this community sometimes assumes that every new person should somehow automatically know how things work and know all the customs.
