Jim Bianco Wraps His Hotel Cafe Residency With a Burlesque-Themed Show. Tassles Optional!

I get the most interesting emails and this one just came in “hot off the griddle” (or can’t you hear it sizzle?
This is from Jim Bianco, indie/alt musician. Honestly that’s not the best description. He’s unique, his sound is so totally different and definitely “in your face” sexy that you wonder why he hasn’t burst forth on the scene.
He hit my radar last year and I had not one but three podcasts with him.

THIS FRIDAY NIGHT Oct. 12
the catwalk has been rented, my friends…
the confetti prepared…
the tassles have been dusted off…
the boa painstakingingly stitched with red ostrich feathers…
it’s been a great six weeks at the Hotel cafe…
thank you much to all the folks at the HOTEL,
and Thank all of you who came out and made it so delicious.
We are forever grateful for you supporting us, for you making the room so hot and sexy and for being a part of the shows.
you, undoubtedly, ROCK.
come early, this week- stay all night.
Wear tassles if you’d like. or a boa.
though, if you wear tassles, it is INSISTED that you show them off.
who’s got the guts?
kisses!

Well if you know the area of Caheunga and Selma, it’s just off Hollywood Blvd, it’s not exactly the part of town that you can walk around wearing tassles and not be accosted.
I did send Jim back a “love and kisses” note
Hey Jim
the problem with wearing the tassles or something with a lot of fringe is not just getting out of the house, it’s about getting INTO the Hotel Cafe at all….
Now that’s a trick that I would love to see happen. I can see that there would be no way a girl could walk down the street in that (or any) neighborhood and not be “accosted”

so…. if you have the guts, wear tassels. Otherwise try a boa or the fringy dress or top and get thy body and thy friends male and female to the Hotel Cafe on Friday night.
Well worth the trip.
Throwing Kisses to you Jim!!
