Support the independent voice of Phoenix and help keep the future of New Times free.
Countless cigar girls and ladies in spinning hoops took over the Hotel San Carlos in Phoenix this weekend and put on a show that satisfied any kind of appetite for fishnet stockings, feather boas and bad lipstick.
We checked out the scene at Burlesque Live!, took a few notes and are back to you with the essentials -- the Good's above, the Bad and Ugly are after the jump, and the whole steamy slideshow is right here.
Keep Phoenix New Times Free... Since we started Phoenix New Times, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Phoenix, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Phoenix with no paywalls.
