Burlesque Photo Opening

This is me in front of my two large scale 40×60″ prints at the opening of the Unsung Heroes Of Burlesque group show that opened last week. It was a great turnout with lots of burlesque performers showing up. There was a live performance by Jenny C’est Quo and almost one by Apathy Angel until the “hi-tech” ipod driven music system stopped working. A great time was had by all!  The show will be up until 12/18 at The Fog Gallery at 508 226th Street. 5G.
