I'm Jo Weldon, AKA Jo Boobs, Headmistress of the award-winning New York School of Burlesque and Webmistress of the unique site gstringsforever.com, which this blog is temporarily replacing. See below for a link to the old site, which includes links to lots of amazing strip joint strippers as well as lots of amazing burlesque performers. I am also a volunteer worker for Coney Island USA, which presents the Burlesque at the Beach series every year in Brooklyn, NY, and for the Burlesque Hall of Fame, which presents the Exotic World Weekend Striptease Reunion and Miss Exotic World Pageant every year in Las Vegas, Nevada. In 2007 I toured with the Sex Workers Art Show, performing in 33 cities in 35 days. I work my butt off! Oh wait, it's still there...and it's getting bigger!
More of me
Burlesque Daily This is a New-York Based Blog About Burlesque with Interviews, Photo Posts, Book Reviews, Perspectives, and more. My Life in Burlesque is a Scrapbook blog of photos and other items that have mostly personal meaning for me.
This is a blog with an agenda--to bring the colorful, playful, twisted, and glamorous world of burlesque to as many people as possible. I'm fortunate enough to have access to a great deal of the world of neo-burlesque and I love it and I want you to love it too, so I'm sharing that access with you.
All of the photos on this blog are used with permission, or are carefully linked back to the original source. If you use photos from this blog you must do the same or expect legal consequences and general disdain.
Originally this blog was intended to post, if not quite daily, at least every other day. The amount of work involved in unexpected business opportunities has made this impossible for now, but there is still much more material to come.
There will be new content as frequently as possible here, with everything from feature-length articles to quickie photo posts. You'll read interviews with burlesque legends, get to peek into performers' closets, and learn more about your favorite burlesque producers, photographers, writers, and musicians. You'll get reviews of books and movies pertaining to burlesque. You'll get photos and descriptions of burlesque memorabilia and collectibles. You'll get backstage photo essays.
If that's not enough, let me know what else you'd like to see here! I'm easy to reach at rocknycity@aol.com.
Note--I'm learning my way around the Blogger editor and the look of this blog may change.
