BURLESQUE BREAST BENEFIT "EMPOWERING WOMEN AFTER CANCER" 2008


I was so happy to see such an enormous turnout for burlesque benefitting "You Can Thrive!" Foundation creating patient-centered programs that promote better health after breast cancer. For more information on this terrific new program, click the blue heading on this posting. I would like to congratulate all women who survived breast cancer, but Ms. Jenny Isaacs as well for not only surviving, but doing such a splendid job making this event happen - which I am sure will have to have a much larger venue in the future due to the program's rapidly growing success! And for the sake of the photographers as well as the audience - get a stage without a railing next time!






You can always count on a classy act from performer Rose Wood



The belly dancing sword swallower stole the show. Truly out of her mind in the best of ways, she reminded me of a hybrid of both Piper Laurie and Sissy Spacek in "Carrie". She also resembled the beautiful albino hermaphrodite oracle in "Fellini Satyricon". Oh, and Chloe Webb. At the end she put seven swords down her throat at once and pulled them out - one at a time!
