an interview by Frankie Tease. After seeing "Surf the Musical", the Broadway-level production that was at the Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas during August 2012, I couldn't help wonder how they got the $10 Million in props ready for the show (Read my show review ). Sure, the multi-media aspect of it's glimmering L.E.D. backdrops were fascinating, and the cars too, but I couldn't help fixating on the organic craft of restoring old vintage surfboards. After all, surfers are an amazing group of people, and the boards reminded me of great times in California growing up. The musical had surfboards as tables, surfboards as surfboards (that thing you surf on in the ocean), decorations on walls, and even surfboards as advertising in kiosks outside the theater (pictured left - and how clever).  After a little searching, I found out the surfboards were made by the guy from " Chubby Surf"  ( Dear John, Shark Week, Austin City Limits Festival, Long Be

a show review by Frankie Tease Let's get it straight. The Lala's (Los Angeles) aren't trying to be anything but their own style of Burelsque, and they use American Rock N' Roll as the vehicle it's couched in. The troupe is all about fun, as is their show which I caught Saturday August 25, 2012 at the Palms Lounge in Las Vegas. The ingredients needed to be a Lala? A gorgeous body, your own TV credits and successful dance career, sexiness, a sense of comedy, and a little bit of irony. Producer Choreographer and Creator Erin Lamont started the contemporary burlesque collection of star dancers on a whim after visiting a bar in Manhattan Beach, CA. for a Burlesque Show. Erin turned to her husband (early 2011) and said "I can do that".  Yes, she could and has done it. With degrees in Marketing and Dance, Lamont's credits are fairly astonishing, including: CSI, Miss Universe, People's Choice Awards, Disney, AMC, Playboy... wait, Playboy? Ther

Swim with Sharks or Enjoy a Roof-top Pool at Golden Nugget's H20 The Golden Nugget Hotel and Casino Pool is located in the heart of Downtown Las Vegas and is called H20. It is one of the top ten pools in the world on several lists, and its design with three levels and two pools leaves little to be desired. Level one allows you to swim with sharks in the shallow end (they're behind glass) or climb to the third deck to slide through the shark tank in a tube. While on the third floor, pay a little more to enter the adult pool area, no kids allowed. This luxurious rooftop pool area has day beds, cabanas, a bar, and very unique see-through wading pool for those relaxing, drinking and partying. Gaze out at the Downtown Las Vegas skyline as you get served a medley of food and adult beverages. Back at the floor-level pool, Card Dealer Steve will stack up the cards on the outskirts of the pool area, to serve your gambling needs while poolside. Lifeguards

Photo of Burlesque Hall of Fame Weekend,  Sat. June 2, 2012, by Cory of Blue Hair Media The Burlesque Hall of Fame just wrapped up its 22nd edition of the Weekend Festivities in June, only to be informed soon thereafter that their storage facility is smack dab in the middle of a Hwy.15 expansion here in Las Vegas, Nevada. The deadline ends August 31, 2012. A heated campaign fundraising is under-way at Indigogo  to help accommodate the rarities that are housed in storage, and to take the opportunity to move to a more expansive space. A mission statement on the BHOF website (BurlesqueHall.com) states clearly what the Non-Profit organization -of which the museum is only a part- is all about. "The Burlesque Hall of Fame is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization. Our mission is to inspire, educate and entertain the public, fostering an appreciation for and understanding of the unique history and heritage of vintage American Burlesque–including but not limited to the art, a

The allure of a musical set to original tracks of the Beach Boys was too much to bare. I decided to go check out the new show on the Las Vegas Strip which rolled out the red carpet July 17th, 2012. But just as I was getting 'on board' the surf hullabaloo, the show announced it would be closing August 15th, 2012, a month or so after it's official opening. Shucks, now I had to rush.  Ticket sales seem to be the bottom-line reason to close, according to the Las Vegas Sun , which reported that the show would be closing early, and that it was never officially endorsed by the Beach Boys. Could the reason for its' closing simply be the lack of endorsement by the Beach Boys themselves like it's predecessor "Good Vibrations" which only ran a short time on Broadway? I surely hope not.  A star-studded cast of Broadway & TV performers put their all into this highly modernized production called "Surf the Musical" with its roots in Calif
