Ms. Redd (LV) by Holly West, (LA) Ms. Redd has a vintage look and style that hearkens to Ann Margaret and Liz Taylor, in that she's classy, yet smoldering. She has a name for herself in print pinup magazines mostly by her alias Ms. Redd. We met up at a class being given in Las Vegas by Jo Weldon January 2013, though I'd followed her on various social media sites and youtube for at least a year. I wondered and asked her if I could follow her as an artist and subject in a two part interview leading into her entrance as a contestant into Viva Las Vegas 16's Burlesque Competition (the winner to be crowned Miss Viva Las Vegas 2013), and do a follow-up interview on how it all comes out as well as attempt to cover her experience the Saturday Night in March coming up on the 30th. (Note: you need four-day pass tickets to see this contest so if you don't have them quickly visit vivalasvegas.net and secure that, then return here to read this article). When I asked Ms.

Hula Girl at Viva Las Vegas  2012  by Cherry Club Inc I wanted to write a few must do must see notes to readers in preparation to this year's Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekender event, which spills out into the city of Las Vegas from its host Orleans Hotel (at Tropicana and Arville near the Strip) each Easter Weekend for 15 years, (this is the 16th). Downtown Las Vegas is where old Vegas still lives, and if you leave the hotel (Orleans is South Strip area), Downtown should be at the top of your must see list. But, here is my Ten Things Countdown for VLV 16.  10- Ladies, get a Hawaiian Wrap.  They are easy to wear with or without strapped bra, and you can combine them with leggings or shorts or bathing suit. Here is something you can dress up or down. It's one of the things you'll never regret packing while attending any vintage themed event. I haven't. Guys, get a hat, any hat, straw recommended. 9- Start doing walking regimen to warm up for being i

Artist Karen Jaikowski  Photo by Tony Bertussi A beautiful balmy spring night lead into the grand opening of the brand new Pinup Pointe Gallery and it was surrounded by Downtown Las Vegas March First Friday attendees. Several artists adorn the walls of the new gallery focusing only on showgirl and pinup. From local and around the globe hung many translations of what a pinup is today. They all had one thing in common: the tease. Pinup photographer Michael Malak was showing a large body of work, from his noir themed Sinister Shadow series to his WWII inspired retro photos from the Wings of Angels series. Featured among Malak's retro inspired work was new star of the Las Vegas strip, Claire Sinclair. Sinclair was also on-hand to sign autographs and mingle just a day before the grand opening of her new show Pin Up at the Stratosphere. A base relief process from Belgium called Artglaz and many artists from other destinations around the world co-mingled with one original fig

A late night jam session "like old times" with the boys was announced online via Twitter by Frankie and Tony Moreno on Friday March 8, 2013. Singer at Gold Rush Lounge at the Golden Nugget downtown Harry Shahoian introduced the Stratosphere star who sat at the piano in front of a beautiful vintage michrophone. He powered through a sexy rendition of "Stray Cat Strut", seguing into "Fever" to treat standard lovers in the crowd to some classics. Moreno and crew were set to take a break and go another round by 1am. Video and photos by Frankie Tease. Photos include Frankie Moreno (piano/vocals),  Tony Moreno (bass), Harry Shahoian, Pat Thrall (guitar).

"Gooch" hosts a comedy show at  Laugh Factory this month. Jennifer Keith Swings in Style The fact that Keith's Great Grandfather put the K in RKO may have a bearing on her cherishing the vocal style of Patsy Cline, and Patty Page, and she features the  hit standard "Bei Mir Bist Du Shon" at live performances and on her album. The band is masterminded by Royal Crown Revue's own Mondo Durame the sexiest saxophonist around (really). Free shows at the Cosmopolitan are a part of this five year outfit's semi-regular visits to Vegas now (and isn't Vegas so lucky), including Mar. 21, 8- 10:30pm, and Mar. 22 and 23, 9-12:30, and Mar. 24 from 8-10:30. Few pairings could be more delectable than this songstress' voice and her amazingly talented vintage standard backing band Local Funny Radio Guy "Gooch" Hosts at Laugh Factory Brandon "Gooch" Hahn will host two oustanding comedians at the Laugh Factory at Tropicana during

November 22, 2012 Moreno Show Set List  On November 22, 2012 I got to interview Frankie Moreno and review his live show at the Stratosphere on the Vegas Strip. The Show has been named "best headliner" more than once and many other "bests" in its first year. Frankie Moreno told me the set list changes all the time. As you can see, most of their songs are originals, and I'll add really great stuff. I asked for a printed set list and I got it back signed by all the writers: Frankie Moreno, Ricky Moreno, and Tony Moreno. No, they're not a mob outfit, they are three brother song-writers creating beautiful melodic music and playing it in their show. Pretty nice work if you can get it.

The wind was up this spring night as hundreds of workers began day two of their strike on Yellow Checker Star Cab Company in Las Vegas, Nevada. The headquarters are situated somewhat near the strip at Decatur and Post Road. Some people (females and males) had been there for 12 hours or more striking, and greeting workers who hadn't heard about the strike with chants of "turn around" as they drove in to work. Those who went to work and didn't stand in unity with the striking workers were greeted with "shame on you". What do they want? A raise and respect. When do they want it? Now . View video and photos of my hour with the workers below.

First Friday is the saving grace for the art community and those looking to connect to working artists and real people in Downtown Las Vegas. Live/work spaces, green living, live music, adult beverages, as well as a kids zone are just a few things you might encounter, as thousands of people mingle in galleries and erected street exhibits along in the Arts District in Downtown Vegas. The area stretches several miles and more can be learned about that at  http://www.firstfridaylasvegas.com/ . This is one of those events that makes people who say there is 'no culture' in Vegas eat their words. Doing so has never been so tasty as at First Friday.  Check out my slideshow of March 1, 2013  focusing on the Arts Factory building and its happenings. Photos and article by Frankie Tease
