Ep. 10 A Pulchritudinous Packed Evening at Testosterone, with Mr. Gorgeous
Where do you go for rock hard go-go boys and soft shell crabs? TESTOSTERONE, baby! I chatted with ever so handsome Mr. Gorgeous about unlocking the mystique of the Baltimore accent and the city's history of striptease queens, juggling fire with his father and finding burlesque through bull fighting, the trials, tribulations, and condiments of the Testosterone variety show, constructing costumes for Broadway and growing his Gorgeous by Gorgeous empire, and why technique isn't as important as doing things your own way.
Shout outs to Kev Beverly, Reid and Harriet, Trixie Little, Kitten and Lou, John Waters, Jinkx Monsoon, and the late Baltimore burlesque legends, Blaze Starr and Lady Zorro.
