Alberto Balsam is available for your bachelorette party.

[Been working on tax issues, so YES, I needed a laugh.]

Hm. Yeah. It's not like Aphex Twin is generally conducive to ecdysial writhing, but I guess you could make this work.

I've long thought Yum Yum Sucré would be a good name for a Franco-Manitoban drag queen.

As far as the post title goes, "Scarlett Mustard" (as featured in the link) is substantially more burlesque that the single-T version.

The more you know!

Back when I used this Emoji Fortune Generator it gave me "Dizzy Dollar Rose".

I've never used it since. Anything else could only be a disappointment. But if I ever sashay down a dusty saloon staircase while the ragtime plays on an out-of-tune piany and the whiskey flows freely, I know what to tell that tall stranger to call me.

I can't find the original flier/menu I saved, but "Mr. Crepito" here in Athens cracks me up. And this is not a found performer name, but how much do you love "Burgering House"? Sounds like the perfect venue for Mr. Crepito.
