First, let me set something straight right now.  I ain’t gay.

During my Happy Hour DJ gig at The Peacock Room,  Michael Pierre asked me to photograph his Burlyesque show, an all male burlesque event.

I didn’t have my Canon Rebel at the time.  Instead, I used the photo option on my Toshiba camcorder.

A mixture of pro and amateur dancers, Burlyesque was a charity event for Harbor House, an organization helping domestic abuse victims.

Ginger Boy.

Rickabilly Bond.

Mafia.

Romeo.

As he danced, he allowed women to pop his balloons.

Mr. Pierre.  Recreating the ear-cutting scene from the movie Reservoir Dogs, he even had Stealers Wheel’s “Stuck in the Middle with You” playing.
