I had the pleasure of shooting Cherry Pitzs and her "Hotsy Totsy Burlesque" for their tribute to Dr. WHO at The Slipper Room. What a thrilling experience; the stories, the performances, the costumes, the music, the dancing, the audience enthusiasm and...all that skin!
Cherry (a.k.a Cyndi Freeman) produces the show with Joe "The Shark" Naftali (also her co-writer). Her husband, Brad Lawrence, is both co-host & co-writer, and she has assembled an all-star cast of incredible performers. The show is a mash-up of vaudevillian style comedy anchored in modern pop culture narratives with a visceral onslaught of themed burlesque dances.
It was awesome... Enjoy the photos!
