random inpressions from Firefly burlesque
Mar. 11th, 2012 02:32 pmThe show is titled "Captain Reynolds' Risque Review an Evening of Firefly Burlesque"; the cast are billed as:
NASTY CANASTA, graceful as a leaf on the wind
STORMY LEATHER, she'll put you in the special hell.
APATHY ANGEL she can kill you with her brain.
MINNIE DIMOOCHA the reason you'll be in your bunk.
STELLA CHUU the hero of Canton,
and
MISS MARY CYN, no power in the 'verse can stop her.
Hosted by the honorable Shepherd BURKE HEFFNER
It was located at Nuyorican Poets Cafe, of which I have exactly no idea what to make. From the top:
*OK, Emcee Guy is supposed to be a Shepherd of some kind (although he's clearly not Book); warming the crowd up in an amusing, if perhaps under-rehearsed, monologue about how the gang has been caught for *list of crimes* "What should we do to them for this?" "Cancellation!" someone yells from the back. He starts over, going through the crimes one by one. "...witchcraft..." "Build a bridge out of her!" some excitable soul yells from the audience; happily, the impromptu comments from all and sundry get a good response.
*Aww, River has her own little cryo chest onstage! She's not naked when she comes out of it; this, however, rectifies itself in due course.
*Huh, Mal's an actor; he and Emcee Guy are the only males performing. (Simon is done by a girl who was particularly rocking the male drag; her scene with Kaylee was a particular audience favorite.)(There's one guy in a Jayne hat- as opposed to the similarly hatted girl performing Jayne- who's helping them set up. At one point, he walks by the audience line as they're setting up, following performer!Jayne.
ME: "How many Jaynes are there...?"
HIM: "Well, she's performing; I'm just helping out."
ME: "OK- you're the stunt Jayne...")
*PERFORMER!JAYNE: *is extremely hot*
ME (to friend, as performer!Jayne walks off): "I'll be in my bunk."
*Not crazy about Inara's choice of music: I'd see Inara doing something more like, say, Enigma- slower, almost trancy- and this was about half a running step from being Alvin and the Chipmunks.
*And special props for the serpentine moves of the troupe's Saffron, who- of course- renders Mal unconscious with a kiss.
All in all, an excellent night's erotic geekdom. While there, I also ran into Emma, a friend from the NYCgoth days (although, as it says in my user info, I'm personally about as goth as a monster truck rally, there was a time when I ran with that crowd. Some good people, some of whom I'm still in touch with, along with some nutty characters). We traded war stories of the old days, including memories of disreputable behavior in club bathrooms, which gave me a weird pang of nostalgia for the '90s; by contrast, my piano bars days have been, for the most part, almost sedate. Who would've thought?
