Lillian Bustle tried to put on a burlesque show in Jersey City, like she always does, and the town (tried to) shut her down and declared the event obscene. She and Viktor Devonne go through some of the particulars that have surrounded the last 9 days of events, and where she goes from here...

... Update from Lillian (4/5/2018): "On Monday, April 9th, 5:30 at City Hall, there's a Council Caucus meeting. The public doesn't speak at that, but James Solomon will be asking some questions about #Burlesquegate, and I'll be in attendance. I'd love some company! We can meet outside city hall at 5:15...

On Wednesday, April 11th, there is a City Council meeting where the public CAN speak! You can sign up for a 5 minute slot by calling the City Clerk's office at (201) 547-5150 and telling them your name. That meeting is at 6 pm at City Hall. We can meet outside at 5:45...

My five minutes will be about the value of the art of Burlesque, and the value that my shows bring to the community. I cannot tell you what to say if you choose to speak, but I hope you make your voice heard... [...]

I'm also working on a letter a to Steven Fulop and will post it here when I'm done. If I don't hear back from him my next step is contacting the NJACLU. If you'd like to write to Mayor Fulop, I also recommend cc'ing Mark Albiaz. Here are their emails:
