Old News... 05-23-10 Hey, check it out! It's a link to a few photos from our show at the Emerald Lounge by the awesome Andrew Fedynak. Thanks, Andrew! 5-10-10 We had a great show at the Emerald Lounge! A gushing thanks to our Asheville fans for welcoming our newest doll, Carlotta Stigmata. We'd also like to extend an extra special thanks to Sirius B for inviting us to be a part of the show. Stay tuned for photos... Next up, the Bootstrappers are throwing a party and you're all invited. Thursday, May 20th at the Hookah Bar here in Asheville, NC we present Holiday On The Moon. It's a tiki party that's out of this world! Put on your tiki finery and your moonboots and join us for the lunacy. Have a moon cheese martini, hang with the man in the moon, and get your picture taken in the moon booth. DJ Thump will be there to provide the tunes. The fun starts at 9 PM!
4-27-10 On Friday, May 7th, Bootstraps and Sirius B will be performing at the Emerald Lounge here in Asheville, NC. See all your favorite acts plus the debut act of our newest member, Carlotta Stigmata, followed by the musical stylings of Sirius B. The show starts at 10 pm. Don't miss it!
4-4-10 The Laudanum Express, our most ambitious and exciting show to date, was a smashing success! With standing room only crowds at both shows, we feel the months of hard work really paid off. Through all the long nights at rehearsals, the laughter, the tears, the stress, the boxes of pizzas, and the bottles of wine, we never lost sight of the goal: to entertain our fans with our creative twist on the art of the tease. We are quite proud of how this show turned out and the warm reception it received from our Asheville fan base.

We'll miss you, Professor... 2-16-10 On February 13th, the Bootstrappers, along with our friends Keith Campbell of Forty Fingers and a Missing Tooth and Sneaky McFly of Unifire Theatre, spent the evening at the "Moulin Rouge." Caring For Children's annual charity gala, hosted at the Haywood Park Hotel in Asheville, was an evening of fine dining, auctions, singing, dancing, aerial artistry, and burlesque to raise money for this wonderful organization. Below is a link to the photos from the event by official photographer, Ryan Bumgarner. Enjoy! 2-1-10 The weather here at Bootstraps headquarters has thoroughly thwarted our last two attempts to entertain and educate our fans, but fear not! La Moustache and the burlesque workshops are being rescheduled. 1-16-10 Cherry Oh! and Corky Bordeaux made an appearance on the local news to help promote the Moulin Rouge Gala and, well, seems it was a bit scandalous. Read on to see what Cherry has to say about the art of the tease on local tv...

(You must be logged in to see it!) 11-9-09 The Bootstrappers' latest show, La Petite Tease, which was a collection of our favorite acts, was a smashing success! This up close and intimate show was quite a change from our normal productions and we have to say we really loved it. Our wonderful Asheville audience makes all the hard work, bruises, and glitter in the eyeballs worth it. You guys are a rambunctious lot and we love it! And while we're at it, check out the photos of Bootstraps' own Britta Felterup from the October session of Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School. She's the sexiest zombie ballerina you've ever seen, guaranteed! Oh, and p.s... Photos from our Halloween show in Knoxville, TN are on the way! (11-1-09) Over the past few weeks, the Bootstrappers have been busy, busy putting together quality entertainment for your viewing pleasure. Our most recent event was the delightful Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School featuring the lovely Britta. This was our first session at a new location and the transition was a fantastic success. Photos from this event will posted soon! Please join us again November 21st at Eleven on Grove for the next session featuring Queen April and Sneaky McFly (of Seduction Sideshow) as they bring scandal and intrigue to the Casino Royale! Doors at 6:30 pm, the drawing begins at 7:00 pm sharp! "And you'll know the Bootstrappers by the mounds of glitter they've left behind."
And because there is no rest for the wicked, we'll be back in Asheville, November 7th at the Grove House for La Petite Tease. This will be an upclose and intimate show, which will feature the debut of our two newest members. After the show, hang out and get to know the Bootstrappers at SHELLSHOCK at the Boiler Room, the official host of the La Petite Tease after party. Oh, and p.s... There's a rumor going around that brand new cast photos are coming soon. Stay tuned!
