We had a great interview this past weekend with a couple of burlesque performers (it will be on this week’s issue of GW1). We talked not only about the art and how the performers got into it, but also the growing popularity of the art in the geek community. If you’re not aware “nerdlesque” – essentially burlesque with a nerdy, geeky theme – is a thing and it’s fantastic! Continue reading She Geek Critique – We All Win
