La Bordello Boheme

I love shows in tents – the romance, the thrills. I nearly ran off with this sexy circus. Beau Rocks, blonde burlesque bombshell, didn’t so much rock as shake. Eat your heart out, Dita! Those tassels must have been stuck on with industrial glue! Billie Rae came on like the cutesiest most wholesome accordion-playing goat herd in The Sound Of Music before discarding most of her clothes. It was so wrong but so right. Edd Muir, an amazing strongman with brilliant comic timing, had an unbelievable body provoking high-pitched screams. I joked to my companion that I felt like a whole man before he came on… but seriously, the guys did love him too. ChiChi Revolver wore hula-hoops instead of underwear and what a good substitute a dozen hoops are if you can dance that well. Veronica Blacklace was a sublime MC and the remaining cast equally talented. Sexy!
