Where's my whistle? Where's my luggage? And some tap shoes??

The proceeding video is footage of Dorothy Dandridge and the Nicholas Brothers performing with the Glenn Miller Orchestra to the classic, Chattanooga Choo Choo. This is one of my favorite musical selections, and though I love The Andrews Sisters version of this song, I just absolutely adore Dorothy Danridge's performance. As we gradually make our way into fall this year, Honey B. Combe has been on the prowl for new act inspiration, and boy, oh boy, have we found it in this segment! Lindsey and I are doing a wardrobe and performance overhaul for the upcoming season, and we're completely stoked to include Honey B. Combe's very special version of Chattanooga Choo Choo to our spankin' new repetoire.



We also recently had another fantastic show with our friends over at Vaudezilla this past month, winding down August with a totally revised "Peace Pipe" performance in Broadzilla! the Burlesque Beast at Exit Chicago. That show was filmed and photographed, and though I'm still awaiting footage and such, which are all soon to come, I can't wait to visually share the experience!

I have much more catching up to do, but we'll have to save other goodies for later.
