Slog - Comments on My Effortless Prescience http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/08/my_effortless_prescience This week, in my profile of burlesque/"boylesque" dancer Waxie Moon (aka Marc Kenison: Juilliard graduate, dancer for the prestigious José Limón Company, co-founder of Washington Ensemble Theatre), I wrote: Waxie introduced something new to burlesque: pathos. I was talking about a little pathos in her character, her peculiar combination of diva and busted ho. Little did I know she was about to release this, which kicks pathos-in-burlesque to a whole new plateau. Now that's what I didn't know I was talking about. Read the rest of the story—which features a leather daddy, Waxie stripping for Cyndi Lauper and Fred...

And I dig Miss Indigo Blue--her name's Amelia too!

Mama was a whore.
Grandad was a newsboy til he was eighty-four.
(What a slimey old bastard he was.)
Man, don't you think I know she hates me.
Man, don't you think I know that she's no good.
If she knew how, she'd be unfaithful to me.
I think she'd kill me if she could.
Maybe she's crazy, I don't know.
Maybe that's why I love her so.

Today we will be married.
And all the freaks that she knows will be there.
And all the people from the village will be there.
To congratulate us.
I will carry her across the threshold.
And I will make dim the light.
And I will attempt to spend my love within,
Though I try with all my might.
She'll laugh at my mighty sword.
She'll laugh at my mighty sword.
Why must everybody laugh at my mighty sword?
(Lord, help me if you will.)
Maybe we're both crazy, I don't know.
Maybe that's why I love her so."
