Live Review - The Slippery Belle Burlesque
Ever looked at your life and thought "hell... I'm not s'posed to be here in this dead wood job! I always saw myself hangin' 'round nearly nude glamourous women, transvestites, magicians and gettin' drunk whilst dancing to Rocket 88!"
Of course, we can't all be Lou Reed... and thankfully, you can make all your rock'n'roll dreams come true and you won't have to get addicted to heroin to boot! So where is this decadent and indulgent world of sin? Sign me up! I WANT IN! Well, for residents of Manchester, you can strut toward The Slippery Belle Burlesque ball and get your kicks! Believe me. I went on Sunday and I'm definitely goin' again! HOT DIGGITY!
You'll be wantin' times and addresses won't you? Read on while I get my tittyshaker 45s out...
It's no joke to say that The Slippery Belle Burlesque is one of the finest nights I've had out. In a world that is filled with naked women dancing to Xtina or which ever horrendous R'n'B track is giving gals the impression that their owning their sexuality, The Slippery Belles are really bringing sexy back. I spent an evening feeling like I was lost in a Russ Meyer flick with my girlfriend in tow and we both whooped and cheered at every dance... and not a nipple in sight. Naw, The Slips are far too cool for that.
As I charged around, far too drunk and wanting to shout "Go BABY! Go! Go! GO!, cross dressers danced, women in corsets knocked back exotic looking drinks with their plumage and wicked laughs. Men in trilby's jived to killer vintage rock'n'roll (Sun style) and magicians pulled drinks from hats and performed a card trick on the steps to yours truly whilst struggling with a cigarette.
God knows the world can be a dull place at times. You find yourself in shopping aisles weighing up which shape of pasta to buy... you wonder whether you should buy some milk or not (as you'll use it anyway)... and then... you're mind remembers that only a few days ago, you and your gal where bowled over by the beautiful women in incredible clothes with moves that would make Lucifer blush. Racy sax blows... sweets are thrown to the dazzled mob... it's like stepping into the Transformer LP... if Screamin' Jay Hawkins had recorded it. You need this night in your life... and guess what? It's on every month and February sees The Slippery Belle Burlesque celebrating birthday number one! Help 'em celebrate it with some charm and style.
