The Mavens have gone Halloween shopping! The Mavens of Mischief are bringing you our brightest character explorations in burlesque this October 24th! Let local burlesque performers organized by Mrs. Marvelously Marvis Lee (of the Mavens of Mischief) entertain you with routines and teases exploring vintage and modern musical styling’s this October. The show starts at 10:00pm on Wednesday October 24, 2012 at Meat (1076 East Washington Street, Louisville, KY).

This show features Babs Fatale in a decadent an
d playful series. If this wasn’t enough to spark your interest and boil your top, the show also includes sizzling performances by CeCe Swingtime D’arcy Decadence, Marvis lee Mae, Foxy Frejiah 9, Polina Burlesco, Kelly B, Simone De Bon Bon and comedy with Narina the Naughty!

Burlesque, or the art of mixing comedy, parody, and sensuality, celebrates the beauty of the feminine form, and has done so throughout the 20th century in spite of repeated efforts to remove such expression from public view. Strip and tease routines, staples of classic burlesque history are an active part of the Mavens of Mischief repertoire. These routines are done with classiness, attention to detail, exciting musicality, playful humor, extreme costuming and character development. In honor of Halloween- we are exploring characters outside our traditional vintage identity!

In researching, experiencing, and embodying ‘burlesque’ the Mavens affirm the beauty inherent in the human body and offer audiences new, different, and alternative visions of what it means to be beautiful, playful, sexual, and intelligent.

Best of all, Mavens do it covered in feathers, sensuous in silk, gilded in glitter and wearing little but a large smile. Although, if you just came for the tassels: you’re going to leave a very, very, satisfied- perhaps also wearing a smile!

Since the girls are doing some uncovering, they thought it would be ok to drop your cover too- no cover charge, libations encouraged-limited seating so shimmy down early!
