I saw the aforementioned duo at the Birchmere on Sunday, June 21 in their show “Dial P for Pasties.” Corporatemonkey and I had a ball and are eagerly looking forward to their return to the DC-metro area. I tried to explain the show to hubby on Thursday morning, but failed miserably. It was campy, witty, and so much fun.
Seeing the show only confirmed that I want to take an intro to burlesque class. The performers were completely comfortable in their own skin regardless of their size and shape. I think it is much healthier to appreciate and celebrate the differences in our bodies instead of striving toward unattainable perfection. I’m all for staying healthy, but life is too short to starve oneself or spend hours upon hours in the gym every day. Isn’t the quote “in all things moderation?” I think “in most things moderation” is better. No need to moderate having fun.
