The utterly fabulous annual festival reached its climax at this glittering (and NSFW) burlesque showcase
This year, the New York Burlesque Festival, spread out over four nights—from Thursday, September 25 through Sunday 28—and as many venues, celebrates a decade-plus-one-year of bump-and-grind fun. Put together by Thirsty Girl Productions and Pontani Productions, it's easily the biggest burly-Q event that the city has to offer, with scores of performers from around the city, the country and the world all taking the stage in a riot of glitter and feathers, leather and lace, and plenty of bare flesh.
