Get your pasties on.

Quickly.

You only have until December 31 for your chance at being the next burlesque champion of the Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekender. The actual event is months away on April 3, but each year the competition to even be admitted into the showcase is fierce.

A judging panel will weed out ladies just looking to get naked for cash and select the four finalists that represent the true spirit of burlesque performance. In January, the public can vote for an additional four finalists to perform live during Viva Las Vegas 13.

Think you've got the tassels to be the top banana? Film a YouTube video of your best Gypsy Rose Lee impersonation and cue up the phonograph. Solo performers only and no male contestants are allowed (sorry, boys).

Head over to vivalasvegas.net to enter, and do us a favor: Pick a good performance name. Ms. Fever Blister just doesn't have that sexy ring to it.

  • All four members are multi-instrumentalists involved in other projects, something that lends the band an elasticity beneath all the abrasion.

  • Fallout Fringe, returning June 3-25, promises to improve on its bold debut with new venues participating and more than 35 different productions.
