La What?
A few years ago when Karyn Pentecost opened her first fitness dance studio on Greenville and we told ourselves it was okay to learn the art pole and burlesque dance, we never dreamed Grandmothers would be the first to jump on and get in touch with their inner self. Pentecost attributes this to not simply the pressure of staying beautiful, but saying to yourself, you know what? I’ll never be a size 4 again and if I’m going to work hard at working out to stay healthy, why not learn something fun that also teaches me poise, confidence and getting in touch with my inner sexuality.

Stoney’s Bottle Bargains - proud home of ALL WINE ALL THE TIME @ 30% off - will host a Wine Tasting with Proprietor and wine connoisseur Stone Savage. Savage has built a solid reputation for finding delicious, well priced and lesser known wines.
A few of his picks are the ‘07 Healdsburg Ranches Chardonnay. “This unoaked chardonnay sourced from Sonoma County is crisp, clean varietal and is an excellent value at $10.49. Pair with Fettuccine Alfredo and Roast Chicken.” The ‘04 Cristom Syrah says Stoney is a “Cristom Vineyards renowned for their excellent Oregon Pinot Noirs. The cool weather Syrah with lots of black pepper and raspberry is half its normal price. At $17.49, it works deliciously with Leg of Lamb, or Beef Stew.”
He’ll be pouring great wines for under $15.00. Now, that’s a bargain!

Happy Meal
Many restaurants and bars stepped forward with job offers – very cool - to affected employees of the restaurants that burned on Greenville and the G.A. location of Café Brazil continues to offer employees whose employment went up in smoke at Terilli’s, Hurricane Bar & Grill, Mick’s and Greenville Avenue Bar & Grill a complimentary entrée until March 31. All they have to do is bring an old paycheck stub from one of the restaurants burned in the fire.

Burlesque Comedy Show
Remember the I Love Lucy skit when she was in burlesque costume trying to break into the movies in a movie scene– my favorite part was when the star (not Lucy) was shot with a gun and Lucy took the opportunity to pretend she was shot to get the attention of the director and producer. Although it didn’t work out, she got back at them by writing her name on the bottom of her shoe so viewers would know who she was. Hold that thought and magnify The Amour Show performance to the Nth degree.

The Sisters Rosensweig
The New York Times described the play as, “...[a] captivating look at three uncommon women and their quest for love, self-definition and fulfillment. But underlying the comedy is an empathetic concern for the characters and for the prospects of women today.”

Classic Burlesque
The Amour Show
With the resurgence in Burlesque theatrical performances sweeping the nation and International competitions heating up, fitness clubs and gyms are adding the dance technique to a line up of classes along with Zumba and other popular dances so I sat down with Shoshana Portnoy (shown) over lunch recently for a Q & A about the vintage art form. Shoshana is the owner of Pin Curl Magazine and Pin-Up Photography.
Q: Everyone is talking about burlesque, so what exactly is it these days?
Portnoy: By definition, burlesque means “to make a spectacle of”. Burlesque is a performance art and can encompass a wide range of performances, but a visual spectacle which focuses on the tease, are both essential elements.
