      <title>SF Weekly "Best Aerobics Alternative (2008)"</title>

      <description>&lt;div&gt;So I was setting up a staged class for a video shoot for a local SF bay area TV station and I get an e-mail from the SF Weekly and they wanted to come do a shoot too but they were kind of vague about why they wanted to come.  I thought, "Why not have them both come at the same time?"  Today I found out that I won "Best Aerobics Alternative (2008)".  :)&#xD;

Best Aerobics Alternative (2008)&#xD;
Bombshell Betty Dance Burlesquercise&#xD;
 &#xD;
Tired of the gym? Yawning at yoga? If your workout routine needs a little oomph and maybe even a dose of va-va-voom, get off the treadmill and slap on those pasties. Bombshell Betty is the eponymous shimmy-shaker who leads gaggles of women — from shy coeds to brassy grandmas — to hot bods and greater confidence, sans the sweat and ogling crowds. This ain't just boa-fluffy stripper aerobics. As titillating as the moves can be, Betty's bump 'n' grind warm-ups and rigorous cancan routines will add to soreness in muscle groups you never knew you had. And if you want to go beyond merely gyrating your way to better gams, you can put all that knowledge on performance and persona building to good use and join Bombshell Betty's all-inclusive Burlesqueteers, who are responsible for spreading their leader's implicit message that exercising and nourishing your inner pinup idol shouldn't be mutually exclusive.&#xD;

      <title>Bombshell Betty's presents Odessa Lil @ Dr. Sketchy's (2-21)</title>
      <link>http://people.tribe.net/bombshellbetty/blog/c3256197-b569-47d3-9218-ead0b1f5c177</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;I reposted this for Randy!&#xD;
&#xD;
-------------------&#xD;
&#xD;
Hello again all,&#xD;
 &#xD;
Bombshell Betty's and Dr. Sketchy's SF are VERY proud to bring you Odessa Lil for the next Dr. Sketchy's!&#xD;
&#xD;
WHO THE HELL IS ODESSA LIL ANYWAY?!&#xD;
&#xD;
Little is known about the one they call Odessa Lil, besides the now famous fragmented and possibly apocryphal tale involving a mule, a shoehorn, and the Fresno State Glee Club. Much has been said about her penchant for fast horse carts and slow men, but really only a few cultural relics referencing this small, noisy person remain.&#xD;
&#xD;
Odessa Lil was born at a very early age in a one-horse village beyond the Pale. It used to be a two-horse village, until they ate one. Her father made a meager living selling meagers, but her mother made good dough working at the bakery. At the tender age of 14, she was run over by a funeral cart carrying the body of Kaiser Wilhelm. His spirit entered her body upon impact, making her capable of a great many things. She's been rumored show you the scar if you give her a dollar.&#xD;
&#xD;
Odessa Lil will be performing her famous act from her 6 command performances in "Thrill Peddlers" as well as the "normal" Sketchy's fun and games!&#xD;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;Happy Birthday Burlesquercise! In March 2008 we will be celebrating the 4 Year Anniversary of the Burlesquercise dance classes by offering a special crash course in burlesque! That's right, this series will include a diverse sampling of the best lessons and activities from the last four years (and running) of classes, including bump-and-grind basics, chair dancing, song interpretation, prop use, stage persona and character development (do you want to be a femme fatale or a bubblegum cutie?), striptease techniques, sassy choreography and much more! &#xD;
&#xD;
In this series we will re-introduce the choreography for Miss Adelaide's "Take Back Your Mink" number from the classic movie "Guys and Dolls" - this is a Burlesqueteer favorite that we will be performing in 2008, so don't miss the opportunity to learn this routine! We'll also focus on skit building for solo, duet, and group numbers, and the class will be guided by Bombshell Betty while creating group choreography for future performances. Don't miss out on this dynamic and exciting series!&#xD;

    &lt;/a&gt;
										&lt;div&gt;As a fund raiser for the Burlesquerteers to go to Exotic World next summer we decided (among many other things) to do a pin-up calendar.  It is ready to order just in time for the new year!&#xD;
&#xD;
This calendar is a student project for the Burlesqueteers, Bombshell Betty's student performance group for the Burlesquercise dance classes. All funds raised through the sale of this calendar go towards our fund raising efforts to help with "field trips" to national burlesque conventions and events, costuming supplies and more!

      <description>&lt;div&gt;Made famous by Sally Rand with her 6 foot wide, luscious white ostrich feather fans swirling about her legs like a glorious ball gown, fan dancing is one of the most iconic, graceful and beautiful of the burlesque arts... and one of the most often requested subjects in burlesque classes! You will not want to miss this series!! Starts Jan 7 &amp;amp; 8&#xD;
&#xD;
We are starting off 2008 with a bang here at Bomhshell Betty Dance by focusing on one of most iconic and often requested burlesque techniques of all for our next series: Fan Dancing! &#xD;
&#xD;
The grace and beauty of the fan dance is undeniable, and fan dancing is a skill that every burlesquer should have in her repertoir. In these classes, we will start out with fan dancing basics like how to hold the fans, basic fan manipulation, dance steps using your fans, tips on how to tease and tantalize using the your fans, and techniques for using different kinds of fans. We will then move into more advanced fan work including floor work you can do using your fans and how to create solo and group fan choreography. &#xD;
&#xD;
As always in Burlesquercise, we will also be emphasizing the classic burlesque bump and grind, confident and sensual stage presentation, and character development to create a well-rounded burlesque stage persona. &#xD;
&#xD;
You won't want to miss the choreography for this series! We will be learning both sensual and humorous fan dancing choreography, including the much anticipated Burlesqueteer "monster" choreography to "Manamana"... too much fun!&#xD;
&#xD;
*NOTE: While you are welcome to bring your own pair of fans to the class, practice fans will be provided. Don't have fans? Come on out to the Burlesque Fan Making Workshop and learn how to create your own!&#xD;

As an experienced live model, she is sure to please those of you that actually want to draw while you stare at her for three hours.&#xD;

People of all skill levels are welcome to come enjoy and benefit from drawing these fabulous people.&#xD;

      <title>Art Opening; Friday Sept 28th @ Bombshell Betty’s (free wine)</title>
      <link>http://people.tribe.net/bombshellbetty/blog/a6512b7f-c577-47f1-b63d-8b620747218c</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;It's time for another art show at Bombshell Betty's.  This month we are featuring three photographers of very different styles and backgrounds but all three focusing on a burlesque/erotic/feminist message.  Whatever art already graces your walls, there will be something here for you to appreciate and (dare I say it?) buy. &#xD;
&#xD;
The last show was a great success for Bombshell Betty's and both artists involved.  We had over 100 people come through during the evening and sold several works (not to mention going through a couple cases of free wine).&#xD;
&#xD;
We are honored to have artists in this show that have been working for decades and also proud to be giving one artist her debut showing.  &#xD;

Stephan Jacobson:&#xD;
&#xD;
I was born March of 1955, in Manhattan, NY of Polish/ Jewish/ Survivors. My parents followed the borscht belt to Miami where my Father became an itinerant photographer, at first working with a man with a pony, then going from one beach-side hotel to another. Sometimes he would go to the local pier for a large shark or fish to drape across his hood so people could have their picture taken with it -  “Stand here, hand on hip, head back, say cheese..." - coming back the next day with the “proofs” in one of those one-eye-peepers, hoping to sell a couple of enlargements.. Anything to make a buck (which is what he charged for a peeper). It was a hell of a way to make a living, and it still amazes me that I have this love for photography that I do, unlike my father.&#xD;
&#xD;
The people I most like to work with not only see their selves as the star in some elaborate movie but are hearing the sound track as well. My ideal is to take that self-image (however bizarre or unusual ) and become cameraman, producer and director, working with the them to produce a plausible image that satisfies us both, trying not to destroy any of that fantasy. &#xD;
&#xD;
I now live in the San Francisco Bay area and am working on a number of projects as well as doing commissions.&#xD;
&#xD;
"Really good erotic photographers are multiplying on the net now and we try to feature one per issue. Here is our latest find, with his classic portraits of strikingly beautiful women; a terrifically exotic tarot deck, black and white pix of tattoos and piercing and soft fetish.  Also commissions; anything he says, but weddings and Bar Mitzvahs.   Fair enough!" -Desire Magazine&#xD;

&#xD;
Gladys White (AKA "The Naked Artisan"):&#xD;
&#xD;
I'm a Bay Area girl through and through.  I grew up in San Mateo and now live in San Jose, California, spending the majority of my days working as an office manager for a start-up. I have been passionately exploring the world with photography since 2004.  I call myself a photography major, although I have only been able to find the time to take two photography classes to date.  My work is the product of basic skills mixed with wild dreams and experimentation.  I love composing images that tell stories. I do my best to capture the heart of an image, especially when photographing people.  I find myself drawn to creative portraiture, boudoir, and light fetish photography at this time.&#xD;
&#xD;
I am inspired by all visual artists.  I am constantly bookmarking talented photographers and artists I come across in the vast Internet sea.  I hope to continue my formal education in photography, but am content, for now, to continue exploring different ways of telling visual stories on my own.  I dream of the day when I will be able to have a dedicated space where I can tell my photographic stories full time.  I hope you enjoy the stories I have to tell today.&#xD;

&#xD;
Michael J. Berkowitz:&#xD;
&#xD;
As an artist, I have long been interested in the universal power and necessity of religious ritual and its theatrical qualities.&#xD;
&#xD;
Five years ago, inspired by a book of 19th century erotic photographs, I began taking nude portraits. At first, it was merely a whim, a diversion between exhibitions of my more serious work. My desire was to simply create a beautiful image. I bought an old-fashioned large format camera, created a set in my studio, paid a model, and took some pictures.  . The results were so beautiful, I had such a wonderful time doing it, and the response to the photographs was so strong, I felt as if I was really on to something. I put aside my other work and dedicated myself to the photography.&#xD;
&#xD;
Once again, this time in my own studio, I set the stage, provided the costumes, and allowed my subjects to play a role. Inhabiting this fantastic version of themselves, they became transformed into something else, embodying an image of transcendent beauty and sexuality. By losing themselves in a role, they revealed themselves. They were able to expose themselves in the most intimate of ways while hiding behind the role they were playing. One after another expressed how strongly they wanted to show themselves to the world and how exciting, liberating and empowering the experience was.&#xD;
&#xD;
The longer I worked in this medium, the more I wanted my imprint on everything. I began to design and make elaborate costumes and jewelry specifically for each of my subjects. Draped in my robes and encrusted in fabulous jewels and crowns, they become some kind of fantastic royal figures.&#xD;
&#xD;
My models come from all walks of life -- artists, dancers, burlesque performers, as well as psychologists, archaeologists, marketing executives, students, housewives, even physicists, ranging in age from 18 to 60.  Although I shoot mostly women, I have also photographed men, couples and the transgendered.  The one trait they share is a burning need to display their sexual and personal selves to others, and to be able to see themselves, both as they truly are and, at the same time, as the most ideal vision of themselves.&#xD;
