Burlesque can be a drag.
"Stage-ready makeup for burlesque is called ‘full drag,' " explains Frida Fondle of Olympia's Tush Burlesque. "It's a great homage to the drag queens, who really do exemplify the ultimate of feminine glamour. When we are putting on our makeup for the stage, we aspire to look as glamorous as drag queens."
The Tush troupe, now a year and a half old and performing Deadly Dames Saturday at the Eagles Hall Ballroom in Olympia, is all women - although some numbers do include men.
