You're welcome DawnTiki. And thanks for sharing about Hulaville. Wish I'd known about it sooner.

That convention you mentioned at Exotic World is the annual burlesque reunion and competition held every year for the past 40-some odd years. Legends and newcomers come out to strut their stuff with crazy costumes and props for the grand prize or just for show. It's a big mishmash of bikers, trailer folk, hot rodders, vintage girls (like myself), grandparents and even the occasional kid all sitting around the pool watching the show on stage. Kinda like a big family BBQ only with Aunt Jeanie and young Miss Ellie taking their clothes off too.

There is an admission, but it's a pretty entertaining show for the price. I would highly recommend going especially if you're nearby and/or can't make it to the burlesque shows in the city.

I think it's the first Satuday in June. A great way to spend a Saturday afternoon...with a burger in one hand and a "shake" before you.
