Cosplay Burlesque Podcast

This week, Murder Nurse shows us just how unbelievably sexy resurrection can be.  We don't want to live in any universe where she's not, and this week, she gives us a taste of parallel realities as Yuno Gasai from Future Diary!

Also, next week, you can see CPB performers working with the White Elephant Burlesque Society at the Steampunk World's Fair!

Music:  "#1 Crush" by Garbage, from the album Absolute Garbage.

Spookey Velvet is a man of many, many bendy, flippy talents - but until recently, I didn't know that webslinging was one of them.  This week, our friendly neighborhood gymnast brings his talents all together as Spiderman!

Music:  "Invincible" by OK Go, from the album Oh No.

Technology...moves so damned quickly these days, doesn't it?  Pong, Nintendo, the iPad...it's really only a matter of time until we get actual Persocoms.  Computers built like cute girls...hmmmm, might be a bit distracting.  Especially if they're built like our performer this week.  From Cleveland, the lovely, the talented Fantasie D. Light does some websurfing for us as everyone's favorite Chobit - Chii!

Music:  "Let Me Be With You" by Round Table featuring Nino, from the album April.

Just what in the hell is Homestuck?  I don't get it.  I tried reading through one-a-them MS Paint Adventures and got lost in a pesterlogsomewhere.  Maybe the wiki can help me.  Nope, just made my headache worse.

Whatever the case, I never thought I'd get turned on by a troll...but then I saw this act and suddenly silver paint is awfully arousing.  This week, Victoria Belmont shows us her doomsday devices as Homestuck's Vriska Serket!

Music:  "Me So Horny" as performed by Revolting Cocks, from the album Got Cock?

The sexy scientist...man, who doesn't love one?   The lab coat, the awkwardness, the slow, smouldering looks over the centrifuge, the lingering touches as you pass the micropippetor...

Plus, the latex gloves.  And test tubes.  You know, all the staples of a great Friday night in the lab, when anything and everything can happen.

This week, we present one of the great scientists of television - the very lovely forensic scientist of NCIS.  Our very own sultry brunette Esmerelda Athena May brings us the one, the only - Abby Sciuto!

Music:  "She Blinded Me With Science" by Thomas Dolby, from the album The Golden Age of Wireless.

Hey kids!  Like movies?  Like the characters in the movies?  Would ya like to see those characters do some naughty things on stage?  Would you like to see your favorite Cosplay Burlesque performers being those naughty characters?  Then come on down to the Bowery Poetry Club this Tuesday, April 10, for Geek Girl Productions' Pasties and Popcorn show!  Featuring Victoria Belmont (as Holly Ween), Esmerelda Athena May, and Kriv Scrivello from CPB, plus CPB Guest Performer Little Miss Rollerhoops - this show is going to knock your socks off!

Onto this week's episode - ICON 31!  Hidden in the wilds of Long Island is a great convention devoted to all things Science Fiction.  We have a great time every year at this con, and this year, we're devoting an entire episode to just showing you snippets of the whole show. Sit back, relax, and make sure your grandmother can clearly see, as we bring you the ICON 31 Preview!

Hey guys!  We had a great time at ICON 31!  Thanks to the great staff and the terrific audience!  Between the girls at stage left hootin' and hollerin' at every little thing and Dr. Frankenfurter joining in, ICON has become one of our favorite places to be!

Now, CPB's next full show is scheduled for AnimeNext 2012, which is in June.  However, you can see many of CPB's great performers working with other troupes in the tri-state area.  For instance, on April 10, Victoria Belmont and Esmerelda May will be performing with Geek Girl Productions for the Pasties & Popcorn show.  Also, CPB performers can be seen with the White Elephant Burlesque Society at the Steampunk Worlds Fair from May 18 -20.  

Onto this week's feature!  We won't be at AnimeBoston this year, but that doesn't mean we can't bring Boston to Cosplay Burlesque!  Back from Beantown and ready to rock your world, Fonda Feeling comes us as Misa Misa from Death Note!

Music:  "Sweet Sour" by Band of Skulls, from the album Sweet Sour.

Hey all you sci-fi nerds!  Want to see Cosplay Burlesque do some acts tailored specifically for your type of fandom?  Then come on out to ICON 31 at SUNY Stonybrook this weekend!  That's right - CPB's second official show of the year will be in Ronkonkoma, Long Island Friday, March 30, to shake it and make it JUST FOR YOU!  Check out this week's episode for a full roster preview of the acts - there's some Zim, some Firefly, and some Dr. Who action coming your way, plus a whole lotta other stuff that's guaranteed to eject your warp core!

Now, for this week's act...Sunny Flowers is a new addition to the Cosplay Burlesque ranks, and what an impressive debut!  Her slow, burning interpretation of an immortal who can bestow mysterious powers is simply...well, let's say it left this editor sweating, and it wasn't the March weather that did it.  Help us welcome Sunny to Cosplay Burlesque, and enjoy her as C.C. from Code Geass!

Music:  "Sail" by AWOLNATION, from the album Megalithic Symphony.

Nerds, astronauts, and other affiliated types of geek - come out to ICON31 in two weekends!  Cosplay Burlesque will be performing Friday, March 30, at our second official show of the year!  This year, we've got the big auditorium, so come check out an even bigger show than before!  In past years at ICON, an incredible science fiction con, there have been zombie acts, Buffy acts, Final Fantasy acts, Little Shop of Horror acts...even a Simpsons act!  The shows just keep getting bigger at ICON!  Come on out to the SUNY Stonybrook Campus on Long Island and check it out!

Now, for the main event...rock n' roll, robots, aliens, and a healthy dose of television.  No, it's not a B-movie marathon...and it's not a recipe for raising children to be flabby and socially awkward...it's FLCL!  Kriv Scrivello jams out on a totally boss Rickenbacker and lends his sexy, sexy head to channel Naoto Nandaba!

Music:  "Tonight Tonight" by Hot Chelle Rae, from the album Whatever.

If you're in NYC this coming Tuesday, you should definitely check out Geek Girl Production's Annual Comic Book Show (Issue #3)!  Founded by our very own Lo Hung, GGP's annual extraveganza of sequential tarts (har har) include Cosplay Burlesque performers Scarlet Stepford, Leo Arcanum, and Murder Nurse, along with city cutie Emmy Electric!  10pm, Tuesday March 13, at the Bowery Poetry Club!

For this week's episode, we delve into serious art.  I'm talking high culture, people.  You're all familiar with The Great Wave Over Kanagawa?  Well, the artist, Hokusai, didn't limit himself to landscapes and nature scenes.  You see, he was also concerned with the great societal issues of the day - like cephalophilia.  Even back in the 1800's, tentacle-on-woman action was already a thing.  Japan is such a progressive country.

Our very own Regina Stargazer (you might also know her from her many personae with the White Elephant Burlesque Society) brings this classic woodcut to life this week as The Fisherman's Wife! 

Music:  "I Am One" by Javier Calderon, from the soundtrack to The Fashionistas (link VERY NSFW) (available in the deluxe DVD box set from Evil Angel Video)
