Solè East in Montauk heated things up on Sunday night when the ladies of Sugar Shack Burlesque hit the Hamptons with one of their scandalous shows. The NYC based troupe brought with them co-founder Miss Runaround Sue and her friends Evelyn Vinyl and Legs Malone, to name a few. The girls performed to a packed house and scintillated the audience with their gyrating hips and sultry voices. Since its founding in 2006, Sugar Shack Burlesque has been creating exciting, cutting edge events that still maintain the integrity of the old days of vaudeville but put a modern spin on their routines as well.
Although the concept is predicated upon a woman in various states of undress dancing seductively for a crowd of onlookers, there's something about burlesque that's kind of classy and doesn't induce feelings of an urgent need to go shower, like say, a strip club might. Case in point: the new Thirst & Howl Wednesdays at Hemingway's which add a touch of the provocative dance performance to this favorite latenight haunt. Keep reading to see how a little burlesque can take things up a notch on the sexy old Hollywood vibe scale (think less Cher and Christina Aguilera and more Dita Von Teese). More»
