What do you get when you gather up some of the finest burlesque characters in the world for four days in the greatest city in the world?  You get more glitter and glamour in Gotham than even Kenny Kenny can stand.  You get free gin and kissing booths, trannies on stage and - galore.  The NY Annual Burlesque Festival makes The Box taste like the appetizer to an ongoing feast of bosoms and bottoms, tassels and tutus.
