Step right up, folks!

...and see loooooong awaited footage of Honey B. Combe's "Little Egypt". You can even see the amazing vintage cleopatra collar I recently gained ownership off!

the boogieman! and my gold sequined granny panties.

This post is rather short, as I'm trying to get a million things done at work. I just received new footage from our buddies over at Vaudezilla of Honey B. Combe's newest act, the Boogieman, as performed at Broadzilla, the Burlesque Beast.

We made some sweet new costumes for this act, including my ridiculously gold hand sequined & lamee granny panties, had the track personally remixed by our dj buddies over in Ann Arbor, and Lindsey even got to bust her mustache out again.

Enjoy!

Way Down in Mexico. Oh how I love the Coasters..

So, as I'm trying to get my vintage business Psychosurplus in order, my wedding planned (oh, p.s., I'm getting married in June!), a new art show under way for March, reboot everything I lost when my my computer crashed two weeks ago, as well as get my ducks in a row for the Windy City Burlesque Fest (which I just found out I would be performing in as a solo performer as well as in a duo with my darling Lindsey, for Honey B. Combe!), I managed to squeeze some time in to perform with my pals over at Vaudezilla for theire Lincoln Fair monthly burlesque exhibition.

And as I LOVEEEEEE the Coasters and have already performed to their musical stylings as Honey B. Combe once before, I decided to step my Sugar Cane Jane game up with one of my favorite songs by them, "Down in Mexico", as rendered in the Deathproof soundtrack.

Once I scored the footage and saw my set, I was extremely proud of myself, considering how disappointed I was with my last solo act, despite the fact that that particular act is what got me into the Windy City Burlesque Fest in the first place. So of course, I thought I'd share it and perhaps get a little feedback.

Gimme Some Skin.

The day after Thanksgiving, I was flying solo so to speak, as Lindsey was back home visiting family and enjoying turkey and sides galore for the holiday. It was time for our monthly romp with our buddies over at Vaudezilla for "Broadzilla! The Burlesque Beast", and I decided to do the show this time around solo. There are many times when I do acts and events on my own, as solely Sugar Cane Jane, but it is very rare to have any of those occasions captured in pictures or video. I feel like a lucky gal to finally have some videography of a brand new act I unveiled at the post-Thanksgiving show. Though, I can tell from watching this video that there's some crude areas that I need to tweak and work on in this act(including syncing my clapping with the sounds of the Andrews Sisters), I think considering that at this particular venue I ALWAYS dance with my partner, I did quite alright shakin' it all by my lonesome.

In the end, practice makes perfect, right?

Not once, but twice.

Well, yeeehaaaaaw! Our buddies over at Vaudezilla Productions were kind enough to send some sweet, sweet footage over our way of two recent Honey B. Combe performances, both being different renditions of our act, "All aboard the Chattanooga Choo Choo". I'm elated to share them both, as I feel Dolly Dagger(Lindsey) and I have come quite a longggg way since first voyaging into the complex world of burlesque and all that it encompasses.

The first video reel is from our Halloween show at Exit on October 29th. For this show, we decided to channel our inner zombied-out, awakened-from-the-dead Andrews Sisters. Mission accomplished.



And here's the reel for you to enjoy:

And just a short time later, we were invited to perform at the Lincoln Fair, monthly Burlesque Expostion, hosted by Vaudezilla at the Lincoln Tap Room for Lincoln Tap Room's 20th Anniversary par-tayyyyyyyyy.



Here's the reel from that expostion:

this fall/winter will have far many more things to come, but for now, I leave you with these goodies.

Get down on the B.T. Express

Here's some footage I just scored from the producers over at Vaudezilla Productions, of Honey B. Combe performing "Peace Pipe" by B.T. Express at the Exit this past August in Chicago. yay!

BROADZILLA! (8.27.10) - "Peace Pipe" by Honey B. Combe from Vaudezilla Productions on Vimeo.

and as always, thanks to the awesome Vaudezilla team for providing footage! (so at least we can see how goofy we are on stage)

ohhhh, the things that make me happy!

are the following, for today, at least:

the dead milkmen. (yesssssssssss!)


dinah washington. (oh, that voice!)


bea arthur (r.i.p., my queen!) on the pamela anderson roast (sooooo good!)


planning two new burlesque shows with my partner in fringed and sequined crime, lindsey. we'll be revamping our Peace Pipe act for the lovely ladies over at Vaudezilla for Broadzilla at the Exit, in Chicago, at the end of this August. And we're additionally working on a brand spankin' new act to Jimmy Cliff's "You can get it if you really want" off of the "The Harder They Come album", for Eve's Parlor's Burlesque-a-palooza, in honor of this year's upcoming Lollapalooza, also in August. Each performer for that show has to create an act based on a song by one of the musical artists performing at this year's lollapalooza, and Jimmy was our pick, so this should be quite fun. phewwww, i feel a workout coming...


and this lovely late 1940s/early 50s cable knit cropped sweater i had the pleasure of modeling for my lovely friend niki @ bombshellshocked vintage. fab!u!lous!


(don't mind the fuzz on my bum, the angora sweater she photographed me in previous to this totally shed all over my hot pants, wah wah.)

ahhhh, yes.
