Neil O'Fortune Presents Bedlam Burlesque (slide show)

Nightlife impresario Neil O'Fortune is the force behind this biweekly burlesque bash on the Bowery, offering all manner of eyeball-melting mayhem—classic burlesque, neoburlesque, boylesque, nerdlesque and pretty much any other kind of ’lesque you can think of. The inaugural edition saw the R Bar crowd entertained by the luscious likes of Creamy Stevens, Fem Appeal, Honi Harlow, Nasty Canasta, Runaround Sue and Velocity Chyaldd, with Fifi Dupree and O’Fortune himself serving as the host. It was a blast—and the next installment, featuring Adam the First Real Man, Bunny Buxom, Ms. Dupree, Grandma Fun, Mary Cyn and Ruby Valentine, should be pretty damn hot as well.
