From my friend Audrey, who runs Burlesque for Peace and the Texas Burlesque Festival:
Forbidden Fruit is sponsoring " The Art Of The Striptease contest" for next 7 weeks at Joy of Austin. We are trying to help get the word out to the burley q community and general public. We are looking for real burlesque-do not have to strip to topless- can go to bra or pasties. We had 5 dancers from the club do it last week and they just don't get it! Here is the skinny: Open to any lady 18 and over- starts at 9:30 - need to prepare 2 numbers ~ 2-3 minutes in length- bring music on mp3 or cd.
$100 for 1st and free pair of shoes from Undercoverstyle and and an FF GC for $30
$50 second, $25 third. 1st place advances to the finals- where winner gets trip for 2 ( airfare and hotel) to Las Vegas.
We judge based on costumes, originality, musicality and the tease factor.
I don't have important info like, say, the night of the week or anything yet, but a call to Forbidden Fruit should get you that info. Anyhow, they were disappointed with the Joy strippers they had but I bet there are some girls here who could throw together a sexy striptease for this thing.
ETA: It is on Wednesdays. Click on "events" on their website for more info. I am assuming it's FF who's doing the judging and not the club, which is cool.
