The Velvet Hammer was founded in 1995 in Los Angeles,
by Michelle Carr and her vision kick started the
current era of Neo-Burlesque and caused a furor on
stages worldwide.

Michelle Carr, Pleasant Gehman and Kristian Hoffman
will be reading the hilarious unedited text from the brand new
book 'Velvet Hammer Burlesque' and signing books after
wards. On display will be 10 of the most elaborately
designed and intricately constructed handmade costumes
featured in the Velvet Hammer Burlesque created by the
performers.

This beautiful coffee table book presents photographs
of the group's voluptuous ensemble of dancers and
performers from their savvy on-stage performances to
an intimate glimpse behind the curtain. Vivacious
women of all shapes and sizes (the Velvet Hammer
troupe welcomed organic individuality) radiated an
authentic, raw energy in their routines that
mesmerized the audience until (almost) the last shred
of clothing was stripped away!

Burlesque Hall of Fame Donation!
10% of the sales from this event will be donated to
the Exotic World Museum, which is the only museum in
the world dedicated to preserving the art and
artifacts from the golden age of burlesque!
