Sissy Butch Brothers presented their Gurlesque Burlesque Extravaganza Saturday at The Abbey. It featured striptease, humor, peep shows, politics, high heels, frying pans, and bad-ass girls and bois. There were Chicago favorites as well as out-of-town burlesque stars ‘The World Famous BOB’ and Lady Ace from New York City. Lady’s Ace’s pieces included a terrific change from a happily married woman to housewife, mother, and back to her real self, as well as a great military number. Two Chicagoans did a fantastic bit about Dick Cheney and George Bush, complete with face masks, pouring oil (chocolate) over each other’s bodies before erotically wrestling. Bob not only put a condom on a banana with her mouth, but she mixed a martini in her breasts. We won’t say where the olives came from.
