GOODNESS WHERE TO START?!?

Syrens of the South played to a packed Variety playhouse, I have to say, there isn't much better for a lady's birthday than that! LOOK! You can see our booth in the background! heh, the only one I could find just yet, teehee!


Miss Renea' le Roux is back in Atlanta fresh and lovely from her performance with some of the biggest names in burlesque, including the reigning Miss Exotic World, Kalani Kokonuts





Honestly, I don't think this town can do Halloween without Burlesque, every year we talk about how busy we are and it never seems to go out of fashion to have at least one burlesque event on Halloween so here's the line up of the must see's and do's of the dames of daring and darling decolletage!

Tomorrow:

Drink and Draw is figure drawing with live models in amazing cosplay outfits from your favorite comic books and movies. There are timed sketches with trivia questions and prizes in between. Come on down and hang with some of the greatest amateur and professional artists from all over Atlanta. Beer and food specials run all night long. To celebrate Halloween this month, we are having a Drink and Draw masquerade. Anyone who shows up in costume and will pose for a 5 or 10 minute sketch, eats and drinks for free! At the end of the night there will be a costume contest for anyone who comes dressed up - whether you modeled or not. The grand prize will be over $150 worth of house cash and goodies, and bragging rights until next year. Please let us know in the comments if your interested in modeling so we can keep enough spaces open. It will be a great night of drinking and art, and a great trial run for your Halloween costume. Come on out and have some fun!!

Description
THE SILVER SCREAM SPOOK SHOW is a 30 minute live stage show filled with magic tricks, dancing girls, jokes, spectacle and frights! We follow it with a classic horror movie on actual 35mm film!

KIDS UNDER 12 FREE AT 1:00 MATINEE! EVERYONE ELSE ONLY $8. ALL TICKETS ARE $12 FOR THE 10:00 SHOW!

The second major addition to Toho Studios' giant-monster series after Gojira (aka Godzilla, 1954), was Rodan (or Radon), a giant pterodactyl whose wings create massive, destructive winds as it flies by. There are actually two of them in this film, mates who finally get together (after the traditional destruction of various Japanese cities) and die in an oddly touching lovers' death-swoon into an active volcano. The film's best sequence is the chilling opening, in which Rodan's egg is discovered in a cave by doomed miners. The first color film in the series, Ishiro Honda's effective thriller features some interesting special-effects work by Eiji Tsuburaya and was dubbed into English by actors including Keye Luke and future Star Trek crewman George Takei. ~ Robert Firsching, All Movie Guide

2-4pm “Hepcat’s Vaudeville: The Nickel Tour” with Hepcat Mike

Take the scenic route through vaudeville as Hepcat Mike (the illegitimate lovechild of Henny Youngman and Phyllis Diller) begins with early 19th century variety shows and continues the tour through polite early vaudeville, down dangerous back alleys of Burlesque, into the cinema which was both classical Vaudeville’s savior and doom. But fear not, the current neo-burlesque and vaudeville revival proves that everything old is new again. Want more? Hepcat gives the shortcuts to building your vaudeville library, with suggestions on texts for further reading and info on where to find the most jam-packed video archives for this important, ever-growing art form.

Disclaimer: Classes in the ABCs & 123s Class Series are $20 each or

Spook Show: Infra-Man

So I thought I would wander on over to the Plaza Theatre last night and check out Blast-Off Burlesque's Silver Scream Spook Show. There were monsters and robots and kung-fu fighting and bad movies and much fun to be had!
