The Fluffgirl Burlesque Society is out to show that less is more by dancing their way through eras of popular music to give audience members an idea of what tasteful, yet adult-oriented entertainment is all about.

The show will be at Friends and Co. at 9 p.m. Saturday.

“It’s a little risque,” said Jason Kottwitz, owner and manager of Friends and Co., who expects the show to be a hit, especially amongst Eastern students, who are the bulk of the bar’s clientele.

Burlesque began as a form of entertainment comprising comedy and vulgar dialogue, later becoming synonymous with a “strip-tease show” around 1920, according to encyclopedia.com.

The show is basically what strip clubs were like back in the 1930s before they became what they are today, Kottwitz said. It’s a chance for students to experience a little culture, he added.

The girls will groove to everything from traditional fan dances from the 1920s to modern day music: “the best in strip-tease tunes and trash rock electro,” said Chaz Royal, the show’s DJ and manager.

“The girls in the current tour are stars,” Royal said. “Each of them has been performing for long enough to say they are pros.”

The group was founded by a woman named Cecilia Bravo who became interested in vintage clothing and 1950s strip-tease music and began performing in the Vancouver area in 1996, Royal said. The Fluffgirl Burlesque Society, which first toured North America in 2002, currently travels internationally, performing over 150 shows a year in all size venues.

“It’s different from the norm,” Kottwitz said. “You don’t get that everyday in this town.”

The show will last about an hour and a half, and although there is no dress code, the society encourages audience members to “dress to impress.”

Admission is $5 with an Eastern student ID and $7 for everyone else.
