There is nothing I love more than burly-Q and the community that supports it! I'm a DFW burlesque performer and pin-up model as well as a collective producer, but most importantly an activist! Contact me if you'd like your show to run as smooth as silk! This blog is intended to shed light on the performance art known as burlesque, provide herstory articles, personal anecdotes, organizing resources and occasionally shameless self-promotion!

FREE RODNEY REED

Here's some footage that was shot at Denton's 1st Annual March Against the Death Penalty! To address some of the things that the Marine guys were saying in the video: it in fact costs more to execute someone than it does to keep them jailed, also (had they come over and actually talked with us they would have learned) we're not advocating the release of violent offenders on the public; what we're saying is the existing system is broken, corrupted and we should be focused on fixing the conditions of society which cultivate crime instead of pursuing a vengeful punishment driven "system" which is racist, classist, and barbaric.


The Campaign to End the Death Penalty (Denton Chapter) meets every Sunday at 3pm in the organization room at Big Mike's Coffee Shop off Fry St.
