dizzyspells suggested I talk to you about BBW burlesque! I'm a huge fan of it and was trying to set up my own BBW burlesque show, but alas, due to money, time and vehicle issues and lack of bbw who felt comfortable enough with their bodies to perform, it fell through.

Hey! where in IL are you? If you're close to chicago not only should you come check us out but you should think of joining us! We've been around for less than a year and already done something like 14 shows and we're going on tour at the end of may. Insane how well we're being received. We're performing next at the Hothouse (next saturday) and have shows every saturday for the next few weeks. our website, which is still in need of some major construction, has the show dates and places (www.hellcathussies.com). Come see us! And if you like what you see then come talk to us after the show (although on the 12th we'll be running out the door because we have another show to do at midnight at spin) or e mail us at hellcathussies@graffiti.net or me at vivi_vondanger@graffiti.net.
yeah...my brain is not working right now, but thanks for the interest and I hope to get to talk more in the future!

add me and I'll add you. I don' write too often though, just a warning. Burlesque has taken over my life. wheee. How far is Rockford? Perhaps we'll just have to come do a ahow there if you can't come here.
Oh, but also, sometime (probably in april) we'll be holding a fundraiser and part of it is auctioning off a truck (89 f-150, starting bid is $100) so keep it in mind and perhaps you'll have wheels after all.

Wehave a great gay bar here called The Office. Well, about as great as it's gonna get in Rockford. Rockford is about 90 miles from Chicago. So it's about an hour and a half away. What can I say about Rockford besides the fact that it's full of repressed Jesus freaks who view anything different as being suspicious. It's like a bigger city with a Mayberry attitude. I hate it here.
I'm adding you as we speak. I LOVE Burlesque, I love performing (although I haven't in years). I bellydanced for 12 years and stripped for years when I was much younger. I've always wanted a bbw strip club.
I have so many ideas for shows...oh god, I wish I lived in Chicago!
Re: hellcat hussiesherfiercenessFebruary 28 2005, 15:53:08 UTC
can I just tell you how much everyone of us would love to learn and incorporate bellydancing into our acts?! Omg. I totally wished you lived in chicago as well! If only we had a teleporter it wouldn't really matter.
Cherry Shameless (the other founder of the hussies) has also always dreamed of being a fatty stripper. oh my. We're putting together a show with some other chicago based performers right now that we'll be touring on the west coast in may and june. Perhaps once we've got it together we can do a run of it in Rockford as well.
any chance you'll be moving to chicago any day soon? the minute you do let us know and we'll snatch you up into hussylandia.
Re: hellcat hussiesex_leopardpMarch 1 2005, 04:02:38 UTC
I used to teach bellydance. I was trying to teach here at the SCA meetings, but no one was interested, go figure. I gave up, because there's just so little going on here. There is one teacher but she's a total bitch. One of those "I'm the only soloist" and all of her girls are skinny, except for one girl and she forces her to wear the same style of costume that the other girls wear. And she is totally uncomfortable, you can tell. Everyone has to look the same. And dance the same. I went to one lesson looking for people to dance and hang out with like I did in Arizona and all I got was condescension and rudeness. When she told me she was making me go into beginner classes (after my having danced and taught for 12 years!!) I walked out and never went back. The vibe here in Rockford is all wrong

Re: hellcat hussiesherfiercenessMarch 1 2005, 20:13:40 UTC
you wouldn't have to live IN the city per se, just *closer* to it. How does your bf feel about evanston or skokie or something? still close enough to public transit that you can have the city but far enough away that it, well, *isn't* the city. Seriously. and you could totally make money teaching belly dancing for fat chicks here. And shit, living in like andersnville or some place like that isn't even like living in the city.
you should totally come visit sometime, just a question of when we're not insanely busy and would be able to hang out.
If you have ny friend that likes the city, likes burlesque and has a car you should totally come see us perform one saturday in the next three weeks.
my e mail is vivi_vondanger@graffiti.net if you ever wanna contact me more directly.
Re: hellcat hussiesex_leopardpMarch 1 2005, 20:58:06 UTC
Oh! Would love to. Btw, did you guys meet a lady named Karen a week or so ago? She's a friend of mine and says you guys are supposed to model for her website.
Re: hellcat hussiesex_leopardpMarch 1 2005, 20:59:53 UTC
Well, problem is, I can't afford to move. I have a house, kids, a job which isn't going that well, frankly, but I have things that would keep me out of Chicago on a regular basis. And I can't afford to move closer, unfortunately. Stuck in this hellhole for a while. Otherwise, I'd be closer in a heartbeat.
Just let me know when you guys might have a moment to talk or whatever. I can come out to visit:-)
Re: hellcat hussiespinupfemmeMarch 2 2005, 15:34:17 UTC
I thought I would add to the banter. You should totally come visit once we are less crazy. Would you be willing to come up and do a belly dancing workshop? I bet we could get others to join us and even make you a little money. (not that we're rich but at least reimburse your bus ticket etc. If it goes well, you could come up once or twice a month and teach. I bet we could ask spin or berlin to let us use the bar space in the daytime or something. *mastermind

Re: hellcat hussiesex_leopardpMarch 3 2005, 01:34:52 UTC
I already talked to Karen and she's more of a watcher than a performer. But she knows what a ham I am:-)
I'd LOVE to come teach a bellydance workshop! Just let me know when and I'll take the time off. I'd need a little recompensation, since I'd be taking time off from work and losing money (I work as a tattoo artist). But it wouldn't be much and of course, paying for the ticket there (Greyhouse is cheap!). I'll be coming out to Chicago in a couple weeks to do more shoots with Karen, so maybe we can talk then?
And I can definitely be a Remote Hussy:-)
So do you guys have some pics from your shows? Or a group pic? I'd love to see.
Re: hellcat hussiesherfiercenessMarch 3 2005, 15:52:53 UTC
you're a tattoo artist? *drools* Now we definitely have to get you up here. Or go down there.
Sorry, that's just really exciting to me. Do you have a webpage?
hmm...
but yeah, as to what cherry said, you could definitely be a remote hussy and I'm sure that we could put together enough people to pay you to teach a bellydancing workshop or two while you're up here.
You're the hussy of our dreams. We can't wait to meet you.
Re: hellcat hussiespinupfemmeMarch 3 2005, 18:11:30 UTC
omg a tattoo artist?! Well, maybe we need to come to YOU! :) Of course we would compensate you silly..thats why I was suggesting getting other people to take the class as well. Don't worry we understand. www.dykediva.com has pics of us. Go to the photos and then click on both Hellcat Hussies and Burlesque 2004. Also www.estrojam.com 2004 "Saturday night" has photos. Yay, I am so excited you found us!
I'd love to come see you guys.
