Photographer Jess Desaulniers-Lea attended the first NSFW: Hip Hop Meets Striptease at the Cobalt last Thursday night. From her report, it sounds as though it was a little more risqué than you average burlesque show.
She writes, “The show allowed the performers to get however nude they wanted and some of the show featured full nudity – therefore no photographs were allowed at all other than ones taken by myself and two other photogs. The energy was incredible! The lack of cellphones out I think only contributed to the crowd/performer interaction and love of hip hop amongst everyone. For a first time event on a Thursday night the turn out was incredible. I’m sure this will become a regular Cobalt event in no time.”
NSFW: Hip Hop Meets Striptease features Lola Frost, Sparkle Plenty, Jungle Kat, Just Call Her Heather and Villainy Loveless, with DJ Cherry On Top on the decks.
Their next event is March 27 at the Cobalt.
