Subject: [NEohioPAL]Seeking Burlesque Show
Message-ID: <30112927.1156449590335.JavaMail.root at elwamui-muscovy.atl.sa.earthlink.net>

I once saw some burlesque singers and dancers at Karma Nightclub, but I guess the show is no longer. I need a show like that: several girls singing and dancing in sexy outfits, but not stripping.  It's for a corporate party.

Let me know if you know of anything like this!

Leigh
