"Hola! Bienvenue! Wilkommen! Hello. Welcome to the very first Wildecat Presents....Burlesque Night! For those of you unfamiliar with the event, Wildecat is hosting a burlesque night in honor of breast cancer awareness month. Use the hashtag #tittiesfortitties to support us on social media."
All proceeds and donations from the event will be matched and doubled by Wildecat and donated to Susan G. Komen for the cure.
Fitness equipment and rings were collapsed or moved aside for a whole new stage for the performances. Everything was decorated in the spirit of halloween, while retaining the burlesqe feel. People performing were encouraged to include some halloween garb with their outfits; whether it was painted faces, skull cameos, or a witches had to top it all off.
Naturally, there was a bar and a plentiful set up of halloween themed snacks, drinks and other various h'orderves for all guests to munch on. Tables and chairs were set up and between performances, a healthy selection of halloween and burlesque tunes will be playing overhead.
Upon entering tonights events, all guests were handed a flashlight and told to wait until the big finale to use it.
the performances
The opening act of the evening is a group effort by all performers who signed up. Together they will be performing a Star Wars inspired number which will lead into Bobba Fett (Isla Castiel) introducing herself, all of the performers, and welcoming guests to the first ever Wildecat Burlesque Night. Jack and Drew will commence introducing individual acts unless specifically stated otherwise.
From there, the first act of the evening will be none other than the sultry, wildly pregnant and forever beautiful Roman Shostakova performing SOMETHING, IDK YET, inspired by this.
Maxine Pope takes the stage to perform her first number inspired by this. This hot little number is a Wildecat veteran instructor who holds three black belts in martial arts (but apparently not a single one in karate!) Give it up for Miss Maxine Pope!
Next up the ever lovely Lola Daniels takes the stage. You may recognize Miss Lola as a local singer and performer. She will be performing Whatever Lola Wants inspired by this & this.
Please welcome to the stage my very favorite, very lovely and very beautiful, Elena Benedetti. Elena's performance is inspired by if i was your vampire. Being the VP over at Wallach industries isn't her only claim to fame, she also boasts a special set of oral skills, if you know what i mean.
No stranger to the stage, Miss Isla Castiel, proud owner of Wildecat, takes to the sky to perform a high flying aerial silks performance. This is the second time the blonde brawler has performed her silks act in front of an audiance, and we certainly hope it's not the last. (Introduced by Elena.)
intermission
An unnamed special guest will perform a brief interperative dance to the sounds of Dead Man's Bones.
Max Pope returns to the stage with her handsome stage hands, Drew Powers and Jack Winston, to perform a very special act showcasing one of her many talents. Inspired by this
Welcome back to the stage Elena and Isla for their death defying take on Zydrate Anatomy from everyone's favorite, Repo! The Genetic Opera.
Ladies and gentlemen, if you thought we were done, you were sorely mistaken. Back for one final performance, the ladies of Burlesque will perform an empowering mashup inspired by the barden bellas. Everyone should have recieved a flashlight upon entering the event and will be cued on when to use them during this final performance.
