A Titillating Treat
Baby, it's cold outside! And there's no better way to warm the cockles of your heart than to attend the 10th annual Southwest Burlesque Showcase. The opening night party kicks off Thursday, Feb. 11, at Launchpad where you can feast your eyes on Bunny Galore, Queen of the Four Tassel Twirl, and enjoy drink specials and a full set of performers. Make sure to clear your schedule for the next two nights, Feb. 12-13, and head over to the KiMo Theatre for sensational shows by Matt Finish, 2015's reigning King of Burlesque, and Lola Frost, Vancouver's rock 'n' roll flapper. Tickets will run you $10 for the opening party and $19-$26 for each of the KiMo performances. (Renée Chavez)
