I went out again this weekend to support my good pal Anna Fur Laxis, but this time it was for a Disney-inspired show. Seriously.

It was called Burlesqueland. Here’s the flier.

The guys from Peepshow Menagerie also came up with these Mauschwitz-lookin posters for each of the girls. Brilliant.

The first night of the two-night shindig happened at Bordello, downtown LA. Gorgeous place. The stage looks like this.

My good friend (and awesome photographer… I’ll post a link to his pics when he has them up) John Leonetti tagged along, and he looks like this most of the time.

He sometimes looks like this. And if the phallic, camera-in-the-crotch metaphor doesn’t sum up John completely, I don’t know what will.

Also in attendance was my dear sweet lovely wife.

While we waited for the show to begin, they piped in old Disney tunes, including the following lovely gem, as lip-synced by my lyric-savant wife Amy. Sorry, Amy, but you’re internet famous now…

The evening was hosted by none other than Ursula from The Little Mermaid, that angry eight-legged bitch, also known as Dizzy Von Damn, whom I’m quite certain I was married to in another life. She’s friggin’ awesome. She’s also the winner of last year’s Viva Las Vegas.

As Ursula, she looked like this. I can’t explain the dead girl on the stage.

Finally, I got a photo of Anna Fur Laxis. However, my camera sucks at indoor photography, so this pic kinda makes her look like an enraged golden spirit come to destroy us all. Not true. She’s quite lovely, and her Golden Fish Hook routine was outstanding.

We took a photo after her routine to prove that she isn’t a raging specter.

Special note, I finally got to meet Ava Garter in person (with whom I’m email-collaborating on a super-secret pilot), but did not get a photo with her. Weak.

I also met Dita Von Teese, who seems like a real sweet gal.

No knives were thrown at Burlesqueland, and that’s a damn shame.
