Burlesque in Santa Monica

A late night decision yesterday to hear some live music at a Jazz Club brought us to one of my old stapes, Harvelle's in Santa Monica, on 4th street near the Promenade. It was Tuesday night, and it turns out that Tuesday is burlesque night at Harvelle's.

Both my friend and I were were astounded. It wasn't quite striptease, but it was girls with G-strings doing splits, walking on the bar, hanging upside down over the young patrons who stiffened in their seats, not knowing where to look and what to do...

We felt like we had an out of world (or at least out of Santa Monica) experience. And you can have it too. Every Tuesday evenings, from 10pm, at Harvelle's.
