I know its a little late but i just wanted to report on my SG Live Burlesque experience here in Adelaide. I had only discovered SG a few months ago in a article in Tattoo magazine and became fascinated with the whole concept, and of course of the women featured. I soon saw the ad for the burlesque show in a music shop in town, i thought to myself that what i had seen of suicide girls was pin-up photography how the hell are ya gonna much a show out of pin-up. But to my soon dismay, i looked up the defenition of burlesque and found out more info about the site, I contemplated buying a ticket for long time, saying to myself i am in, i am out,
day before the show, said fuck it i am buying a ticket. this show aint gonna be featuring every weekend in my local town so i took my open window.

Day of the Show:

checked out the fowlers venue that morning on the way to art school, only a couple of hundred metres away, The venue had very little shelter outside and i knew that i wanted some of that shelter cos i knew it would be pissing down with rain that night, i thought get there an hour and a half hour should be sufficient enough.

Day went by pretty quickly and the next thing i knew i was walking from my parked car in the rain to the venue wondering if i was gonna cop some of that shelter. I had i feeling i wasnt, but i walked around the corner of the building to see the fowlers venue in sight, not a soul there waiting outside, i thought to myself shit i hope i am in the right place and right time, turns out it was, A few minutes later SG Member Amour turns up with her boyfriend and friend. She turned up 2 and half hours before the show, but they had knicked off to the pub for beers, wise decision, i chatted to them for awhile, which was comforting to have somene to chat to cos i was on my lonesome,

so we waited, some people walk by and get into the venue by either knocking on the door, or ringing someone inside, i have the feeling though these are just workers not suicide girls. A few minutes later security opens the door and says "Are you guys it" and our reply was "Yep, were it, the dedicated ones". He shuts the door and i think that that, but a minute later he opens the door and says alright you can come in. I quickly accepted as i was freezing my ass off outside, i would much rather be in a warm venue. So we walk in and i spot a group of girls standing over by the tables and chairs, i recognise Reagan, and give a very uncofident "hello"
Although all the girls were awesome and came over and had a chat to us four, it was so surreal seeing the girls a few feet away from you and just chatting general conversation, in contrast to them represented as pixels on a screen or fine dots in a magazine. I had to pinch myself, All the girls very cool, nice and polite and in good spirits. So that ended abit later as Fanny had a mission to go to the sex shop and pick up a new riders crop.
We sat down inside, and someone was on to us, questioning how we got in, we soon got kicked out back into the cold again.

The Show

So another hour of waiting and we are in, the show will not actually start for at least a few hours. El Sauvo displayed his magacians hand, or how good he is at not being able to escape a straight jacket.
The Band "Ground Clearance" i believe was awesome, especially the lead singer hot stuff, loved the little aussie flad tattoo :

of course i am kidding, i actually took the bassit serously at first when the told the audience some of the girls would be filling in for the lead singer.

So The Girls finally came on and kicked ass for an hour and a bit. It was good to say that some of the girls went duck tape free, and some got rid of it half way through like reagan, oh yeah.
Highlight of the show was seeing Reagan stack it on her roller skates as she was exiting the stage, she cracked up laughing after the fall, i admire someone who can laugh at themselves in situations such as these. Song selection kicked ass and good mixture, Fav girl is the show is definetely Reagan, loved the napolean dynamite number, loved the skates, the bunny ears, and the dislcaimer for no photos, no touchies.
Overall awesome night, that i will remember for as long as i can, i dont want these memories to fade, which i why i have written this entry in such fucking detail, that no wants will want to read it except for of course me, now that i think of it, probably not even me.
