Veruca Honeyscotch, “The Pint-Sized Powerhouse of Burlesque”, included this in her email newsletter recently:
“Portrait photographer Leland Bobbé has embarked on an ambitious and noble journey to document the neo-burlesque scene as it lives and breathes today in NYC. A project that has already gained him awards and recognition, and which he is looking to publish into a big FAT book (or as I have been fondly referring it as: “The NYC Burlesque Yearbook!” But, I’m sure he’ll come up with a sexier title.) All of the portraits are AMAZING, and in my opinion, are the most honest depictions of the cast of crazy personalities that live in this beautiful underground art form. I was humbled to be among them.”
