5th New York Burlesque Festival

The 2007 incarnation of the New York Burlesque Festival again provided a good reason to stay in New York over the Labor Day weekend. 

The formal festivities started off with a Thursday night Teaser Party at Corio Supper Club.  Corio was also the scene of a special edition of Filthy Gorgeous Burlesque early on Friday evening before the big Premiere Party at Element hosted again by Scotty the Blue Bunny just before he flew off to Sweden. Murray Hill hosted the Saturday Spectacular at the Highline Ballroom to a capacity crowd.

On Sunday, in place of the Burlesque Cruise of recent years, the Golden Pastie Awards ceremonies were held at the Comix Supper Club. After the performers made it down the “Red Carpet,” Miss Astrid ripped apart the envelopes and presented the multiple Golden Pasties while slipping in a number of performers into the show.

As with my other NYBF galleries, scroll down on the large images to see the complete image and view the captions.

NOTE to PERFORMERS: 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 fix them.  Note also that I have only posted a fraction of the images from the weekend; contact me if you would like to see other images of your performance.
