Umm, are you seeing this? This Easter bunny is seriously g'd up.
Tonight's outing included a free burlesque show in DTLA. I hear you saying now: "Burlesque? Anything dubbed "burlesque" these days is code for "Renaissance Faire with pasties" — overly tattooed hip people living out their bump-and-grind, titty-shaking fantasies onstage while paying customers gawk." But I witnessed something a bit more special in Big Willie's Burlesque. Willie McNeil is a drummer who sits front and center and is just as compelling as the T&A that surrounds him. In his Panama hat and retro suit and tie, he flails his sticks with the panting look of a teenager peeking into a ladies' locker room. The 6-piece band was a nice complement to the ladies on the stage.
i'm sorry...what?! I cannot even comprehend what you wrote about burlesque and bill willie. I'm soooo confused.
