Honi Harlow's "An American Boy in Paris" Burlesque Extravaganza at NYC's La Mama's on Monday night was a titillating fantasia of music, dance, ta-tas, cans (and can-cans) singing, and signing-- for the deaf. Yes, believe it: The hearing-impaired also love T&A. I think it's the blind who aren't as impressed. I mean, unfortunately, they're the ones really missing that whole "googly eyes" with the boobs bouncing and the nipple tassles swinging around thing and all.
Anyway, the "art of the tease" is a wonderfully campy, refreshing--and dying--art form in this age of extreme porn and rigid (and phony) Hollywood standard of what is considered sexy; make sure you see some burlesque sometime if you can. I took a million photos, but here are a few.
To begin, Honi signing for the audience (center) and Jenn Wehrung (right):
