THIS WEEKEND -- Belletristic Bibliophile Burlesquers

This weekend sees the return of the Orange County Underground Burlesque Society, a secret coven of burlesque artisans who, despite their name, practice their craft in an above-ground well-lit performance space, readily accessible to the public.

Their current show, "Once Upon a Corset... A Tale of Two Pasties," is billed as a loving tribute to all things bookish in nature. Via sexy dancing. Which is, frankly, a method of commendation that I feel should be more widely practiced in the literary community (New York Times Review of Books, please take note).

And no, the show doesn't feature any nudity. Pervert.

(Disclosure: Tragically Hipster's very own MEG is OCUBS' founding, er, father. We would have featured it here anyway, though, because it's awesome.)
