Burlesque: Miss Spent Youth Takes Over The Hollywood Fishbowl

In which Marie takes over The Fishbowl and makes it sexier than it’s ever been in its entire history, with apologies to my family.

Ten cuidado! Muy caliente! This is far and away the spiciest episode we’ve ever recorded. As a burlesque teacher, Marie knows her way around luring someone out of their shell. In this episode, she brings Jesse out of his, at which point he enjoys the view ever-so-briefly and then returns to his well-known and very comfortable protective cover. There are currently no plans to top this episode in terms of bawdy dialog, so enjoy the risqué banter while it lasts. This is likely all you’re getting.

Burlesque: Nikita Bitch Project’s Life Was Saved By A Kitten

Nikita Bitch Project loves dance. And parody. And nudity. Those three ingredients collide perfectly in her stage performances but she wasn’t always a Burlesquer. Her story starts in Japan, hops globally and is fascinating throughout.

Life in Japan can be a bit of a challenge if you discover that your passion lies in dance, parody and nudity as Nikita Bitch Project did. Nikita Bitch Project was working at an ad agency in Tokyo when her life took a pair of very sharp turns. The first was learning about the world of Burlesque which led to dreams of living in New York where she could watch live shows any time she likes. The second was the great earthquake of 2011. These two powerful influencing factors created a perfect storm that would change the trajectory of her life forever.

Burlesque: Kirby LaBrea Was In Bye Bye Birdie

Kirby LaBrea is a bit of a rarity - a boylesquer making his mark on the LA scene. While the biggest LaBrea fireworks are his dance moves, there’s massive fun to be had in this audio-only experience. Also, we sing. Twice.

Kirby LaBrea opens up on this episode and the range of topics is broad to say the least. From tear-away pants to ancestral slavery, we cover the gamut. Kirby has walked a winding road to the stage, the result of a late-in-life discovery of his passion for performance, despite both parents working in the creative arts. Once we get through the preliminary discussion, we ring the bell. A lot. Solutions! Mansplanations! O-Sounds! All that and much (MUCH!) more!
