The Beautiful Kind

A couple months ago I went to the Benchpress Burlesque show at the very cool, very wood Lucas School House.

BenchPress Burlesque is a radical multi-gendered, sex-positive, queer-positive, feminist feast of political performance art. The troupe seeks inspiration from the historical roots of burlesque as a variety show of political satire and class critique and aims to merge a contemporary feminist viewpoint with the sexy performance art of burlesque. As their name suggests, they push the limits of expectation and show a tougher side of fishnets and corsets.

One of the best skits was performed by Petey, born female but identifies as male (seen in the center of the pic below, wearing hat and bow tie). Most of the time (s)he is in full man regalia, but for this skit he was wearing trousers and boots below, and a corset and beard stubble above. He fucked and sucked a bike to the Queen song “Bicycle Race.” Lasciviously licked the handlebars, thrust his black strap on dildo between the spokes, humped the back, sucked the banana seat…seriously, it made me so hot I went into critical mass shock.
