Oh, I hear ya, sister! I won't go into a big rant now, it's far too late in the evening, but I'm like that with bellydance. Some of it is SO lazy and unimaginative, and doesn't advance bellydance as an art whatsoever, it just trots out the same old cliches. And I don't mean any particular style either. Just BLAH bellydancing. It makes me run for the bar / buffet / stalls at haflas....aren't I mean?
I mean, not that I don't believe in entertainment for the sake of being entertained... but when you've seen it all before... that's not entertaining is it? Or not really. LIke... seeing a stand up with edgy, brand new material performing well is priceless but seeing someone do an okay-impression of Eddie Izzard? No thanks.
And if you're mean... my god, I'm the meanest meano in the land of Bitch. x
We'll do it together. I had been thinking about doing a "Burlesque is Dead" night, staging a big lavish funeral for burlesque... but then is it a paradox? Maybe it would be more like a weird play - all really good burlesque performers getting up and doing speeches about how they remember the good days they and burlesque shared together... I don't know, but the wake would be fun.
But yes - I'm down with it. If any tanned, skinny girls in frilly pants try and come in, I get to kick them out (literally). x
If we have 3 grand to spare, maybe. But I doubt it. There's a chance that if this ever happened, depending on how it went, all involved would never work again...
There's a part of me that thinks it would be worth it. x

I've been scheming towards an event called Bored of Burlesque (or BOB) for a while. I'll put you down, shall I?
