After revisiting their childhoods through their memories of Animaniacs (Good Idea / Bad Idea), Disney (Bibbity Bobbity Boobs), and their tenth birthdays (Ass From the Past), Rhinestone Gorilla Burlesque continues to mine the nostalgic depth with Bring Your Daughter to Work Day, a tribute to their parents' professions, at The Triad in NYC. Expect to see acts as diverse the Gorilla's backgrounds, and find out whose father is a construction worker, whose mother is a surgeon, and whose father works at Fox News.Featuring all world-premiere acts by Rhinestone Gorilla's Gemma Stone, Angelique A'LaMode, Izebel Vivant, Kinky Demure, Lucida Sans, and Debra Delorean with special guests Lydia Ransom--performing in tribute to her father, the drag queen Tanya Ransom, and her mother, neo-burlesque legend Paula the Swedish Housewife--and headliner Gogo Harder. Hosted by Lucida Sans.
Formerly known as Alpha Psi Ecdysia, Rhinestone Gorilla Burlesque was founded in 2008 as the nation's premier undergraduate burlesque troupe. While based on the campus of the State University of New York at New Paltz, Rhinestone Gorilla lived a double life as an educational institution and a professional producing entity. On the New Paltz campus, Rhinestone Gorilla dedicated itself to teaching burlesque history, the politics of neo-burlesque and the practice of burlesque performance; off-campus, Rhinestone Gorilla was the underage darling of the New York stripperformance art scene, getting naked on school nights at The Slipper Room, Rififi, Public Assembly, and Sugarland and in venues in LA, SF, Boston, and beyond. Though frequent subjects of controversy and police activity, Rhinestone Gorilla's students on the SUNY campus--who have inherited the name Alpha Psi Ecdysia--remain the only state-sponsored strippers in the nation. The Rhinestone Gorilla Burlesque troupe members are Lucida Sans (producing director), Debra Delorean (assistant producer), Gemma Stone, Angelique A'Lamode, Izebel Vivant, Kinky Demure, Avian Rush, and Spartacus Rising.
