The all-moms burlesque revue is back for its third annual installment. As in previous years, this edition features a slew of bodacious burly-Q breeders exploring all sides of motherhood through striptease and song: the upside, the downside and the backside.

The brainchild of bawdy burlesque hostess (and proud parent) Raven Snook, and presented in conjunction with Mamapalooza, the show includes performances by many of last year's hot mamas, including Slipper Room co-owner Camillicious, Seattle siren and Wife Swap survivor Ravenna Black, The Incredible Edible Akynos, the gorgeous Ginger Baker, hot and happy homemaker Fritzi Collins and out-of-this-world Cosmic Girl, as well as two new additions: spicy Viva Caliente and sweet Suga' Bomb. Also on hand to celebrate procreation in her own special way, sexy (but childless) mama Creamy Stevens, co-creator of the legendary Starshine Burlesque.

When: Saturday, May 22 at 8 p.m. Doors open at 7:30 p.m.
Where: The Slipper Room at 167 Orchard St. at Stanton St.
Tickets: $10

Raven Snook: A writer, performer, diva and parent, Raven has been emceeing New York-based burlesque shows since 2003, when she discovered that audiences enjoyed her combination of raunchy Borsch Belt humor, Ethel Merman vocals and Elvira clothes and cleavage. She has hosted Starshine Burlesque, Red Hots Burlesque, Le Scandal and the all-Jewish revue Kosher ChiXXX, which she also co-created. Other performing highlights include: acting in the original downtown cast of Urinetown; being typecast as a vampire on the ABC sitcom Talk to Me; appearing as a "female female impersonator" on The Maury Povich Show; playing a dominatrix-like self-help guru in the award-winning short film Slo-Mo, telling stories at The Moth and Heeb Storytelling; and her autobiographical one-woman show How I Became a Drag Queen Trapped in a Woman's Body. As a writer, she has contributed entertainment-related articles to Time Out, The Village Voice, The New York Post, TV Guide, New York Magazine's Web site and Heeb Magazine. Oh yeah, she's a mom, too, and hopes to hand down her sequin-studded pasties to her daughter someday.
Camillicious: Camillicious (a.k.a. Camille Habacker) would like to thank Miss Raven Snook for the invitation to participate in Hot Mama Burlesque. Camille is the proud mother of Veronica and Lincoln and co-owner of The Slipper Room with her husband, James. She hosts burlesque shows, DJs, works that go-go box and performs as, among other things, Conchita, Fanny Frye and, most recently, Linda Rhonda Linda, horn rock singer. She also acts in plays when her busy life permits.
Ravenna Black: Ever since she was a little girl, Miss Ravenna Black has been fascinated with glamour. It started like it does for many little girls: Having been thoroughly indoctrinated by fairy tales and Disney movies, Ravenna decided that she wanted to be a princess when she grew up. Oh sure, true love, adventure and marrying a prince sounded grand, but what she really wanted was the dress and tiara! Ravenna has studied burlesque dance with Miss Indigo Blue, Kitten DeVille, Babette LaFave, Jacqueline Hyde, Tigger (Mister Exotic World 2006), Dirty Martini (Miss Exotic World 2004), Kitten LaRue, Jo "Boobs" Whedon and burlesque veteran Dee Milo, "The Venus of Dance." She is currently working with Milo to recreate the act which nearly got the legend arrested in the 1950s: "I Married An Angel." A raven-haired temptress, Ravenna boasts voluptuous curves that are sure to raise your blood pressure and gags guaranteed to make you laugh. When you see this petite powerhouse perform, you'll see why she's called: "The little girl who's ALL grown up!"
The Incredible, Edible, Akynos: The Incredible, Edible Akynos has been dancing since childhood, competing in talent contests throughout New York City performing her signature Janet Jackson routines. Even now, she takes diverse dance classes (jazz, tap, hip-hop) whenever she can to help enhance her high-energy dance stripteases. With a schedule so tight she doesn't have time to even think of sex let alone have it, she spends her spare moments updating her risqué adult Web site akynos.com, so members can get their daily dose of sex from her. Also an actress, she has been an extra in multiple movies (American Gangster and the upcoming Push) and appeared on stage in plays that no one has really heard of, but hey—she's done it! Akynos stands 4'11" tall with one of the juiciest booties in burlesque and hair as big as Diana Ross'. She's performed in locations such as a The Slipper Room, Rififi, Galapagos and Symphony Space. The doctors had a hard time delivering her because she came out with her dancing shoes on!
Ginger Baker: Trained in myriad dance forms—from ballet to flamenco to salsa, and everything in between—Ginger Baker was drawn to burlesque as a way to combine her love of dance with her passion for positive sexuality. With two kids under five, she still finds time for sassy striptease, and has performed at The Slipper Room, Glasslands and the Stonewall Inn thus far in 2008. She also produces her own show on Staten Island, bringing vampy vaudeville to the Forgotten Borough once a month with Ginger Baker's Candy Apple Burlesque.
Fritzi Collins: A titillating innovator of "stripping as high art for low brows," Fritzi attracted the eye of infamous Vegas promoter Tom Collins. After their lavish Vegas wedding, Tom, a wicked Svengali, forbade his burlesque bride to perform. Locked behind a white picket fence deep in the suburbs, Fritzi was severed from the stage and her adoring public. While everyone thought she had turned her back on burlesque, the frustrated flower orchestrated a devil's workshop of routines based on shattered romantic ideals, with the help of a slew of unsuspecting gardeners. Fortunately, Fritzi fled the suburbs and ran straight to New York's burlesque stages. There's nothing like seeing her peel off that sugar coating, revealing the earthy spice that is pure woman. Now happily remarried, Fritzi is a mom with an energetic toddler. She performed in the 2004 and 2005 New York Burlesque Festivals with Fisherman's Famous Burlesque and Starshine Burlesque. She has also performed in many downtown theatrical productions including Taylor Mac's Live Patriot Acts: Patriots Gone Wiiiild! at P.S. 122.
Cosmic Girl: An intergalactic space-age sweet tart on a mission, Cosmic Girl is a flirty fancy pants armed with sparkly hulas and an infinite load of naughty fantasies. This saucy self-proclaimed heroine lives in a world of magical creatures, mischievous faeries and bawdy witches. A whimsical and inventive force that lives to enchant and grant wishes, she is on a journey of fun and sensual freedom. Conventional morals are for mere mortals, and she hasn't met one of those in years! An alpha dancer and striptease artist who's brought + her awesome go-go abilities to myriad planets, here on Earth she's performed on the stages of the Bowery Poetry Club, Le Poisson Rouge, Catty Shack and The Slipper Room. Next stop, your pleasure zone.
Viva Caliente: Mama Caliente expected to give birth to a lovely rose in New York’s famed Spanish Harlem, but instead a firecracker burst into the world. A fashionista and private-school bad girl, little Viva was a precocious tease who broke hearts and rules. She loved to dress up in outfits that hinted at her future: a vivacious vixen, charming cheater and daring dominatrix. In just two years, she’s managed to swing her tassels at such hotspots as The Slipper Room, Lucky Cheng’s, Starshine Burlesque, Otto’s Shrunken Head, Kitty Nights, Bowery Poetry Club, Camaradas, and is a member of Brown Girls Burlesque. She also created her very own Viva Burlesque Show at Stitch Bar & Lounge. From diva to showgirl, sexpot to primptress, Viva’s always full of surprises, mystery and mischief.
Suga' Bomb: Suga’ Bomb was born and raised in the streets of Harlem USA as a fearless warrior and hunter in the concrete jungle. Coming of age in the gritty ‘70s, she learned how to sweeten life and slap pleasure in the face. After the heyday of the downtown club scene, Suga’ settled down to establish her family. Her offspring will soon rock your minds…
Creamy Stevens: Creamy Stevens hails from a rusted-out bartertown and is the child of slaughterhouse workers. She spent her formative years in a juvenile facility honing her evil powers, and now shocks and delights audiences all over the country as a burlesque performer. She co-produces the long-running Starshine Burlesque with Little Brooklyn and also appears at other venues around the city. In her leisure time, she enjoys needlepoint and crushing the dreams of the young.
