Madame X Hosts NAKED GIRLS READING NYC, 8/9
On Tuesday, August 9th, New York's "Best Story Hour" (The Village Voice Best of NY 2010) - celebrates the summer theatre season in the decadent boudoir setting of Greenwich Village's Madame X lounge, as Naked Girls Reading Gets Overly Dramatic with special in-the-buff readings of theatrical favorites.
Nasty Canasta is joined by burlesque superstars (and former drama geeks) Gal Friday, Sapphire Jones and Tansy, as the hit nude literary salon celebrates the stage: from classic dramatic structure to avant-garde tone-poems; from rave reviews to delightfully wicked pans; from glittery musical to stark drama to audition monologue. Naked Girls Reading kicks off fringe festival month in New York City by removing the fringe - along with everything else!Guests to the salon are invited to relax in the plush velvet upstairs lounge at Madame X and sip a drink (try a "Black Turtleneck," this month's featured Naked Girls Cocktail) as Nasty, Gal, Sapphire and Tansy share the full-frontal literature. $25 reserved seating is limited to 40 (and includes one drink from Madame X's 'Foreplay' menu), with a small number of standing room tickets available at $15 - or sweeten the deal with the "Casting Couch" package: reserved seating and cocktails for two, for only $40! Purchase tickets in advance at www.NakedGirlsReadingNYC.com and get dramatic as only the Naked Girls can, as NAKED GIRLS READING NYC Gets Overly Dramatic - at Madame X on Tuesday August 9th at 8:00pm.Naked Girls Reading began in Chicago in March 2009 as the creation of international showgirl Michelle L'Amour and Franky Vivid. The idea had rolled around in their heads for a few years in different formats, but with the opening of Studio L'Amour in 2008 it materialized as the perfect intimate live event. Naked Girls Reading now has branches across the country and around the world; the New York chapter, produced by Nasty Canasta of Sweet & Nasty Burlesque, was opened in October 2009 to great acclaim
