The Atomic Tease!

Thursday, August 20th, at the Key Club in Hollywood, CA

Art Exhibit Opening with a Night of Burlesque Performance and Music

The Atomic Tease is a presentation of the neo-burlesque movement, bringing together pin-up inspired art, burlesque performance and music.  What started as an undercurrent in American counter culture is now seeping its way into mainstream consciousness - and rapidly spreading through fine arts, music and theatrical productions.  The neo-burlesque movement is informed by classic burlesque elements of sexuality, satire, and counter culture – blended with the low brow art scene, modern social and political themes, mid-century pin-up art, California surfer/tiki culture and a splash of fantasy.  Join us for a night of paintings and pasties from contemporary artists and burlesque performers emerging as some of the hottest stars of their generation!
