Paszkiewicz. [From 1940-2002 the printshop was a shoe store, Proper Shoes. The window displays in the storefront are once again filled with shoe boxes. However, in lieu of shoes, these screen-printed shoe boxes contain contributions from St. Louis artists in the form of zines, photographs, drawings, etc, functioning more like the shoe boxes in everyone's basement, filled with memories, photos, and keepsakes. This piece is an homage to Proper Shoe and the history of the area, yet celebrates the new growth of the artistic community on Cherokee Street.] Also at All Along Press, Tate Foley will be showing an installation addressing the same themes of the destruction of the old, to make room for the new. 7-11 pm Fort Gondo Compound for the Arts (3151 Cherokee Street) Your Silence Speaks Volumes: Collaborations by Gaucha Berlin & Langely (http://www.facebook.com/ev 7-11 pm Aisle 1 Gallery (2627 Cherokee Street) The Freelance Dance Project with Jessica Ruhlin Featuring body paint by artist Kate Donato performance at 8 pm (http://www.facebook.com/ev Los Caminos (2649 Cherokee Street, 2nd Floor) Social Therapy Act 1. 1 A performance by Nicholas Jacobs and Kasper Lorene Woldtvedt Event from 7-9pm, performance at 8pm (http://www.facebook.com/ev |

Burlesque performances coming to 2720
The super-star team of Anita Cookie, Clams Casino, Darlinda Just Darlinda, GiGi La Femme, and Minnie Tonka are hitting the road for DANGEROUS CURVES AHEAD: BURLESQUE ON THE GO-GO! With a squeal of tires and a cloud of glitter, they’re leaving behind the Big Apple with the top down and their tassels twirling! The performers will bring the tour’s killer moves, sexy glam and hilarious hijinks to 2720 Cherokee with local superstar Lola Van Ella and more on Wednesday Oct. 20th at 8pm.
The Dangerous Curves Ahead: Burlesque On the Go-Go Fall Tour is the follow-up to their incredibly successful 2010 coast-to-coast, 23-city Spring Tour including Los Angeles, Chicago, Minneapolis, Madison, Denver, Las Vegas, Dallas, Kansas City, Albuquerque, and Richmond. Dangerous Curves Ahead packed houses across the country and received oodles of critical acclaim: The Nashville Scene said “It’s a veritable aureole speedwagon as the Outer Boroughs’ most buxom babes go from zero to 38D on their road trip across America!” and the Phoenix New Times called the show, “An excellent night of twirling tassels and bawdy jokes.”
About The Dangerous Curves:
ANITA COOKIE: is the charmingly inebriated burlesque star whose sparkling singing voice, dynamite shimmy and intoxicated wit have been called everything from “hilarious” (NYTheater.com) to “sizzling hot” (Go Magazine). Originally hailing from the tan line-free shores of the Pacific, Anita is a Golden Pastie Award winner at the New York Burlesque Festival, and is also one-third of the quirky music trio Gigi & Pop, winners of the first-ever “Best Variety Act” trophy at the Burlesque Hall of Fame Pageant 2009 in Las Vegas.
CLAMS CASINO: Called “a burlesque queen” by the New York Times, “spectacular” on the New York Post’s Page Six and an “NYC Culturemaker” by Time Out New York, Clams Casino is a nationally recognized producer and one of New York’s favorite stars of the bump ‘n’ grind. In summer 2008, Clams was the winner of two coveted trophies, for “Most Innovative” and “Most Comedic” at the Miss Exotic World Pageant, sponsored by the Burlesque Hall of Fame. She is also a Golden Pastie Award winner at the New York Burlesque Festival.

Lord of the Yum Yum tonight at Cranky Yellow
LORD OF THE YUM YUM
We are so super excited to host Lord of the Yum Yum at Cranky Yellow on August 16, 2010! He’s apparently quite a character with his acapella antics and general popitude! We might have to step up our game to play with this master-mind of vintage prom attire! Not to mention the beef his biographical information discloses:“Lord of the Yum-Yum is about giving some maximum happy feelings…feelings of innocence and yesteryear, in a happier time when live entertainers were still part of the world. The ‘Lord’ is about re-living your childhood through song and dance. Ridiculous in 2007!, Lord of the Yum-Yum sings grind/scat vocal versions of familiar classical pieces, remixes them up with beat-boxing and live electronic loop making techniques, all powered by a wireless mic and old school ruffle tuxedos…it IS the new rock alternative!
As a performer, Lord of the Yum-Yum aka Paul Velat has toured nationally with a concentration on the Midwest and since 1991, he has done many radio and television appearances as well as hundreds of performances around the greater Chicago area.”
So don’t miss it you butt-heads! August 16th, 2010 @ 8pm at Cranky Yellow! GET IT!
