The Gong Gong Song: An Ikettes Burlesque Tribute

I've realized that I haven't posted anything about burlesque or my alter ego Sugar Cane Jane in quite some time, so I thought after having performed this past Friday, that I'd share my most recent routine. Though this act is my newest solo feature, I've already had the pleasure of performing it three times in the last month and a half, twice with the Vaudezilla team and once with the lovely Scarlett Deville & the Devillettes. The footage below is from my show with Vaudezilla at EXIT Chicago this past Friday, and is my first show back from my three week wedding hiatus.

The act is entitled the Gong Gong Song and was originally released by the Ikettes, Ike & Tina Turner's famous back up dancers. If you're a John Waters fan, you might remember this track from the HAIRSPRAY soundtrack. I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEE this song, I love soul, I love dancing, I love John Waters, I love the 60s, and I certainly love shakin' my tail feather, so I feel that everything just sort of fell into place with this act.

Enjoy!

and as always, thanks to the awesome Vaudezilla team for providing footage! (so at least we can see how goofy we are on stage)

pussycats galore

I finally found full length footage of Honey B. Combe! yay! This video is our performance to the Pussycat Song, by Connie Vannett, at Exit, Chicago, this past June. We're still pretty new to the burlesque world, so we have a few minor tweaks to work out with all of our acts, but i hope you enjoy!

It's been such a pleasure to work with the Red Hot Annie & the Vaudezilla team, and I can't wait to share more of our adventures with them!

Broadzilla attacks!

Tonight, Honey B. Combe will have a very magical performance for all patrons attending Broadzilla Burlesque at Exit (in Chicago, of course)! We've combined our vintage seller forces to pull together one hell of a wardrobe for this special act, because as far as we're concerned, there is NEVER too much cheetah and/or leopard print! And that fits rightttttt into our pussycat performance.

There's over twenty performers gracing the stage of this very special evening of tassles, fringe and glitter (among other things), so we've all been split into two sets.

Honey B. Combe plans to stand and DELIVER during the first set tonight, so make sure to get there by 10:30pm sharp, to catch an eyeful, hee hee.

xoxo.
