Performer: Jeez Loueez, Photographer: Kriss Abigail
The Windy City Burlesque Festival starts up in Chicago this weekend so I went to the start of it at Lincoln Tap for some pre-fest burlesque with Vaudzilla and other performers. Both the 9:00 and 11:00 sets were phenomenal and I saw everything from Kaylee-Firefly performance to a sword dancer.
It was great catching up with the burlesque scene. I talked with a few photographer friends of mine, performers, and regular Vaudzilla fans. It was cool to learn that one of my favorite performers, Jeez Loueez, recently won first place at a Viva Las Vegas competition and she donned a crown on her head all night.
One of my favorite performances of the night was by a woman not of the Vaudzilla company; an Asian who did sword balancing and hypnotizing dancing while wearing a snake leotard with a beautifully painted face. She looked like something out of cirque de soleil. I'll need to ask Kriss what her stage name is. I was completely mesmerize
