Star Wars Themed Burlesque Show?

Recently I posted about a rather screwed up French video from a show where loads of dancers dressed up in C3-P0 and Darth Vader costumes and pranced around psychedelically for no apparent reason... It was mind-trippingly uncool and sullied my love for the Star Wars franchise with its mindless ineptitude.

Well after that I discovered that there was a Burlesque show in L.A. recently that used the Star Wars universe as its theme. What will they think of next?!

This is from Laweekly.com:

"Downtown club Bordello temporarily transformed itself into Mos Eisley Cantina for a night of Tatooine-styled shenanigans helmed by Devil's Playground. Star Wars Burlesque reimagined a host of beloved characters from the film series -- from the sexy to the androgynous to the grotesque -- as scantily clad female performers, with locals "On Blast" assuming the role of cantina band. Check out the cast of characters below".

You can read the full story along with the character descriptions and names of each dancer HERE. It's worth noting that the Jabba performer is actually a hot girl who bursts out of a balloon filled Hutt costume... If that wasn't the case I'd be a little worried. Jabba The Hutt as a Burlesque dancer is not my idea of fun. Female Stormtroopers and Slave Leia? Completely different ball park!!!
