Angered by media mis-portrayal of their chosen art form, local burlesque performers and exotic dancers are planning a May 1 visit to the property of the Philadelphia Daily News to introduce their reporters to dancers who are not on the “downward spiral” reported by the newspaper’s “experts.”
Sexploratorium covered this story in their “Sexpose” Column last month, but now there is a time and place for the event and we are cross-posting it here because we sell so much fashion and footwear to local burlesque performers and exotic entertainers (and pole dance students). We support the cause!
- Join local burlesque artists and exotic entertainers at the Daily News Building – 3pm Tuesday May 1 to dispel the stereotypes of exotic dancers. Click the picture for more information.
Who: Melissa Bang Bang and local burlesque artists, dancers and their allies.
What: Testimony about who exotic dancers are and the many reasons they do what they do
Where: The action will take place at 400 North Broad Street
When: Supporters will gather at 3PM outside the Inquirer/Daily News Building
Why: Because the Daily News (and other media outlets) refuse to acknowledge the existence of and respect the livelihood of persons (mainly women) in the adult entertainment industry who do not fit into their pre-defined stereotypical storylines.
