Through the Looking Glass: The Burlesque Alice in Wonderland

The awesome friends that invited us to Moisturefest also invited us to the Triple Door to see Through the Looking Glass: The Burlesque Alice in Wonderland for Jenn's birthday. It was amazing! We had mirror Aliceses (one blond, one black haired) with opposite black and white costumes. Once both Aliceses are through the looking glass they end up at the White Rabbit's club where we are entertained. By the end when we pretty much saw everything and it was surprising just how identical the two artists were! 

We felt like we were at the Sands in the 50s or 60s which was loads of fun. Not all the acts took it all off, and those were just as mesmerizing. Our favorites were:
  • The Caterpillar had the TriBellas underneath who also had these amazing mushroom costumes. 
  • The Cheshire Cat who started out in a buff man thong and slowly got dressed
  • The Red and White Queens battling
  • The waitress EatMe who sounded like Dr. Girlfriend 
  • The Flamingos (the TriBellas again)
  • The Tigerlily (who made her pasties go in opposite directions at the same time!)
