Von Foxies
Saturday I went out with several girlfriends for delicious sushi at Maneki http://www.manekirestaurant.com/ then we went to see the Von Foxies, a burlesque troop.
The Von Foxies were hilarious, and sadly, this was their farewell performance - Kill it Before it Dies. They also had guests - Tamara the Trapeze Lady and Ben de la Creme, who were also fantastic.
Little did I know that burlesque was alive and well in Seattle. What's more, I didn't know that burlesque was as much about humor as it was about titillation. This website gives a brief history:

So if someone mentions burlesque to you, it may not be what you think.
