The Queen of Burlesque

There was glitter, feathers and Swarovski crystals. There was titillation. There was rich lather and sensual bubble dance. There was riding a giant red lipstick on a patent leather costume. There was the famous martini glass number. Dita and her team of sexy teasers were in Manhattan. And Manhattan was under their spell.

David Bowie Is…

Farewell to April and farewell to David, who is now and forever somewhere else. First time I listened to his music again, since he became immortal in 2016. It was well curated, the exhibition in the Brooklyn Museum, a bit smaller than the original in the V&A but, after David’s passing, all the more emotional.

Back to Manhattan, into the alien world of NYC Subway. Ensamble Ferroeléctrico de Marte, anonymous musicians with iron masks that look like animals. Music for the urban jungle.

PS: My take of the original exhibition in V&A London in 2013, is here{x}
