THE PINK FLAMINGO BURLESQUE - VIBF took place on Saturday, May 02, 2009 7:00 PM - 11:00 PM
at Red Room
in VANCOUVER BC. More details on the event are below.
Founded in 2006 by performer Shaboobie Boobarella and musician Blue Morris, The Pink Flamingo Burlesque is one of the few burlesque groups today that have burlesque performances set to live “bump n' grind” music -- just like it was done back in the ‘Golden Age’ of burlesque.
The six-piece Pink Flamingo Orchestra play the music to watch girls go by. They work under the martini-swilling direction of guitarist Blue Morris and feature the beautiful and uber-talented Red on vocals. They’ll have your toes tapping to traditional bump ‘n’ grind tunes, swing, lounge, surf, calypso and soul. They feature tunes from the David Rose Orchestra, Bobby Darin, Elvis Presley, Eartha Kitt, Harry Belafonte, Andy Williams and more.
Their festival show this year will be hosted by the cocktail king of Seattle, Vincent Drambuie. Guest stars include Malaika Millions (Los Angeles), Miz Ginger Snapz (Seattle), Valentina Virago, VaVa Vunderbust, Lydia De Carllo and (naturally) Shaboobie Boobarella. Shaboobie enjoys keeping abreast of new material – both in the burlesque and the fabric sense, and loves inviting guest stars to add illumination to Pink Flamingo shows.
