File note of SG Burlesque Brisbane 8/4/06
Got to the venue just after 8pm. Checked out the Shamrock but they said there was a private function booked for the downstairs for the night. I got into the queue for the Arena which went around the corner to the family planning clinic. Got into venue 30 minutes later, just after magic act started.
Magic Act was a waste of space. He should have cut off his hand and bleed to death to save us from the pain.
I thought the support band was great. Much more than just working off the low base of the magician, I was genuinely entertained. Especially good motown cover in there. Also liked the hot chicks in the sailor suits in the pit and the chick in the sailor moon outfit on the landing of the left front stairs who had independant suspension in her tits when she was dancing to the music.
Found Mizunderstood & friends but couldn't find anyone else from the SGAU. Mizunderstood looked very hot.
Got into a good but not great position in the pit. Right hand side, about 10 bodies back from the stage. Reasonable view for most of night, but some dodging around the tall guy in front and difficulties seeing any thing below navel height on stage (I have no idea what happened in the Reagan act when she disappearred from sight for about 30 seconds and came up from the floor biting a blood capsule and limping off stage).
Giddy with excitement during the prelims with Reagan and RavenIsis. I remember wondering if that was their real voices as I always imagine the girls with Aust accents even though I should appreciate that they are American.
A few dickheads in the crowd making yob remarks but generally a lot of the faithful there.
I thought I would be able to memorise every act but they just kept on coming so relentlessly I was eventually overwhelmed.
General impressions of the girls. The old SG's (Reagan, RavenIsis, Fanny & Nixon) were beter than the new ones (who weren't intro'd). Of the new ones, there was the short blond hair who was obviously a dancer or gymnist given her moves and flexibility (I liked her best of the newbies), the shaven head IBT and a brunette with implants ( whom I liked least because I think implants are inconsistent with the SG philosophy although she also had some great body art).
The 4 veterans were flawless in execution and really dragging the crowd in. I can't confidently say 1 was better than the other because my opinion changed after each act. I can say that I wasn't much fussed about Reagan before but now I agree with the majority that she is a legend of the Sg's. She is so much hotter in person than the photographs convey. RavenIsis used to be a favourite so no surprises I loved her work although I thought they overplayed a dumb blonde prsona to her acts too much. I have loved Nixon's work since the video she did and my only complaint on the night was that she was not on enough. Fanny was fantastic - she was superb in her acting which highlighted her performance. I just can't speak highly enough of her work. If pressed I would say Nixon & Fanny tied as my favourites for the night but it is sort of like splitting the Brisbane Lions midfield from 2001-03 - they are all champions.
I can't remember all of the acts but the highlights for me were Nixon & Fanny in the Reservoir Dogs take off (I became embarrassed with the hard on they gave me, I thought I was going to take out the kidneys of the girl in front of me), the whole team in the Alice in Wonderland act, Reagan Fanny & new girl in the schoolgirl act, Fanny in uniform (a great way to start the night off) and the ad lib finale. Other acts come to me in fragments which I loved also but these ones are seared in my memory.
On a personal note, it made me fell 10 years younger and put me in a happy place that I haven't been in for a number of years now. I only hope the numbers are good for SG HQ so that they send out another tour next year.
