Free Press Houston Features Dem Damn Dames

Check out the article in Free Press Houston! Here’s a teaser…

It should come as no surprise to you, if you’ve lived in Houston long enough; that we have some serious talented people here. We have so many great albums from local bands in the pipeline this year, so many amazing food artisans, and possibly more amazing dance outfits than you would have any idea of. One of those dance outfits is the world of burlesque. The burlesque artform is often misconstrued as one full of racy women in dark rooms filled with seedy men.
