Fat Bottom Revue
Jesse Hamlin profiles the rollicking Fat-Bottom Revue, a "fun-filled burlesque show featuring women of size" led by dancer/activist Ms. DeMeanor. "They shimmy and grind as they peel off leather, lace and boas to expose a bounty of flesh, while keeping certain vital zones covered and left to the imagination. Sometimes they get up close to willing men and women in the crowd, who pop dollar bills -- occasionally proffered from the teeth -- into undulating undergarments. 'We're having a good time and affirming our sexuality, which has been unaffirmed and made negative in the popular culture,' said Ms. D., a lively woman with a wide-hipped mermaid tattooed on her ample right thigh." (Thanks, Vann.)
