Exotic World Weekend 2007
Photos by Ed Barnas
June 8-10, 2007,
The Burlesque Hall of Fame, formerly the
Friday night featured the 50th Annual Striptease Reunion – an
evening of performances and interviews with a host of Legendary performers (as
well as several tributes from the Stars of today).
Saturday night opened with
a grand procession and a mayoral proclamation
but the main activity was to the Miss
Exotic World Burlesque Pageant 2007 with a multitude of performers
competing for the honor of Best Debut, Best Duo, Best Boylesque, Best Troupe, and, of course, Miss Exotic World 2007 (and some performances
by last year’s winners). After all the performances were done (without an
intermission), the winners were announced.
Sunday featured the Legends
Panel in the Burlesque Bazaar and closed with an Evening Gala and Poolside
Dance Party by the rooftop pool at Binion’s (by which time I had retired my
camera and jumped into the pool).
NOTE to PERFORMERS: Scroll down on the large images to
see the complete image and view the captions. I have tried to caption the
photos as accurately as possible based on the program and my notes.
Please advise me of any errors so that I can correct them. Note also that
I have posted only a fraction of the images from the weekend; contact me if you
would like to see other images of your performance.
