1/23/16: The Third Annual Vermont Burlesque Festival was held last weekend at ArtsRiot, the Barre Opera House and the Hilton Burlington. Over 75 performers from across the country, some local and some international, converged in the Green Mountains to warm up Vermonters, promote body positivity and share the art of the striptease. Eva checked out the rowdy sold out late show Saturday night in Burlington and got a backstage peek at the pasties, glitter and humor of burlesque.

Music:
Kevin MacLeod, “Tango de Manzana” Cab Calloway, “Lady with the Fan”
Richard Strauss, “Burleske in D Minor for Piano and Orchestra,” Janacek Philharmonic Orchestra
Irene Bordoni, “Let’s Misbehave”
