On Naked Girls Reading (Banned Books) «

"If you haven’t heard about “Naked Girls Reading ,” the incomparable Michelle L’Amour started this racket back in Chicago, and it’s spread to Dallas, Key West, Seattle, Milwaukee, Phoenix, and Sao Paolo, and now—to New York City, thanks to our friends Nasty Canasta and Jonny Porkpie at Pinchbottom Burlesque. Tonight, we’re at Madame X, a full-on boudoir of a venue, with a chaise longue on a raised stage behind black bars, like a New Orleans gallery, and the audience is sequestered in plush mushroom seats, gazing up longingly, and pushed back SRO along the bar, peeking over each other for a view."
