London Burlesque Festival – April 2-6 2008

Get your frills ready and your feathers fluffed up for the friskiest festival of the year!

The London Burlesque Festival (LBF) will be swinging its hips into London next month, making sure So-ho never looked so-hot…

Those who read the fabulous Chic Today Magazine (if you don’t, make sure you do!) will be well aware that here at Chic Today we do love a bit of Burlesque. It is no surprise, therefore, that we are awaiting the 2nd of April with mounting excitement!

Dita von Teese has recently become the internationally-recognised face (and body) of the ‘new Burlesque resurgence’. However, there are hundreds of less-famous Burlesque artists who can titillate and ‘teese’ with the best-of-the-chests in the business.

These are the artists (100 of them!) that have been selected to perform at LBF. They will be performing a variety of acts- from the traditional style of the early, experimental years and 1950s Bump ‘n’ Grind (no, R Kelly will not be appearing, thank goodness) to more contemporary, avant-garde interpretations.

There will be some stripping, a whole lot of singing and outrageously glamourous outfits winging their way to various venues across London from April 2-6 for five fantastically naughty nights.

I will, of course, be bringing you all the Burlesque banter from the ‘Glitterati Gala Opening Night’ via my Chic Today Journal, which you will find stretching its stockinged legs at:

Big Smoke Soiree
