“While Mad Men's Don Draper gets the lion's share of media attention, the compelling female characters are the lifeblood of the show. More complicated than mere surfaces might convey, they have repressed yet seething inner lives. Accordingly, the Whistle Bait, Bordello's monthly club billed as "Where the '50s meets the '60s," celebrates a steamy trio of multifaceted mid-century minxes via the art of burlesque: va-va-voom Joan, the voluptuous vamp of the agency; Betty, the unhappy housewife dissatisfied with the bill of goods she was sold yet unable to consider a different life; and the ambitious, conservative-yet-kittenish copywriter Peggy.”
Karin E. Baker, Flavorpill
Bordello says:
The Whistle Bait presents a Burlesque Tribute to our favorite television show Mad Men. Featuring Violet Valentine as "Joan Harris," Jolee Blon as "Betty Draper" and Lavender LaRue as "Peggy Olson." Live on stage performing two sets, the uncrowned kings of rockin' rhythm and blues - Ron Silva and The Monarchs. DJs Johnny Devil and Alberto Sol playing 50s & 60s R&B, Rock n Roll, Garage, Soul and Latin Boogaloo. Celebrating Johnny Devil's Birthday. Hosted by the lovely Becky Blanca. Enjoy $5 well drinks until 10pm. Entrance is only $10. Free parking. Hope to see you all there. Dress to impress!
