Warning: this video contains semi-nude people and might not be appropriate to watch in your workplace.

The Alley Cat Revue at Rue 13 is on the vanguard of fine Burlesque entertainment in the Mid-west. I spoke to the lovely and talented Lola Van Ella about the history of the current state of the “neo-burlesque” movement.

Also this is my 200th episode of Lo-Fi Saint Louis, thanks to Paul Knight, James Spencer, Heath Parks, Irina Slutsky and Eddie Codel, Jimmy Craichead and Demanda Diamond, and Rob Parrish for sending in videos.

  3 fucking years??! Dude, did you invent videoblogging? Sounds like you earned the title. “Circus” burlesque is HUGE in SF and thank the big clown for that! It’s friggin hawt.

  Congrats!

  Both for a fine vlog, and for helping other get into vlogging. When I was just getting started, your interest, kind words and technical help were very important. Your making me feel comfortable in the video blogger community is one of the reasons I jumped in with both feet. –Thanks!
