Posey Peep Show (Part 2)
Jun. 1st, 2009 03:53 pmHere’s some further shots of the The Posey Peep Show from January 2009. The Posey’s version of burlesque is a mix of story, cabaret and traditional striptease with a twist of the absurd. The troupe will be traveling to New York City in a few weeks (late June) to stage a series of performances in the Big Apple. Dates are listed on their MySpace page.

Posey Peep Show (Part 1)
May. 27th, 2009 09:24 pmI'm bad..
Back in January, I had the pleasure of attending Huntsville's self described "Absurdist Burlesque" troupe. Due to a backlog of photos and personal mayhem, I set aside the photos I took till April. That was when I finally got my other computer set up to write files to CD (again). I was going to give "Clementine" (the head of the troupe) a set of the unedited photos and be done with it. Then I forgot to take the CD-r with me to Lowe Mill for another month or so. Given this, I decided to do a complete, professional edit to the set and offer the troupe a set of high quality pics to make up for the delay. Since they do a themed show, here's the results for the old west based show "Wanted."

As mentioned in a previous “post”, back in April, I was fortunate enough to get to see Voltaire and his traveling band perform live at the Mercy Lounge in Nashville. Without a doubt it was a great show.

May. 16th, 2009 02:56 pmIf you’re tired of the rains and don’t mind heading down to Birmingham, come to the hottest gothic, steam and electronic dance nights in the southeast. Did I also mention burlesque performances by the Magic City Sirens? All photos below were taken at ImagiCon 2009 where SWYD went on the road.

Last weekend, e_phemera and I went to the Sleep When You're Dead show in Brimingham. She made a special cake for the producer Heathra. Without a doubt this cake blew away anything I've every seen. It was inspired in the manner of the advertisement they posted for the show (below) though she took a minor creative license.

After a bit of an unplanned break in posting these, here’s a few more shots from “Tits for Tots.” Perhaps in a little while, the burlesque show producer will permit me to put some of those photos up (exclusive release agreement).
Back in December, I had the opportunity to attend and shoot a wonderful regional goth / fetish / burlesque / belly dance performance in Birmingham. In fact, I believe I’ve established a good working relationship with the producer Venus and Bacchus Productions. The show is called “Sleep When You’re Dead.” The next 'episode' is on February 21st at Matthews Bar and Grill in the Loft District of Birmingham.

The show is called “Sleep When You’re Dead” and that month’s installment was charity themed, “Tits for Tots”, where donated toys and funds went to the local juvenile burn center in Birmingham. I met some great folks there and saw some tremendous dancing both on stage and the dance floor. With luck, I’ll be shooting this show as their official (paid) photographer in February.
Tribal dancers of the “Ultra Hip Review” performed twice during the evening. Passionate, silky and fiery would describe them well.
