Jess Folley has been a popstar for almost a decade and she's still only 22. At 14 she won The Voice Kids and later triumphed on X Factor: The Band, with pop group RLY. Since then she's been carving out a career as a songwriter and releasing music under her own name. Jess tells Datshiane Navanayagam about stepping into the corset and heels made famous by Christina Aguilera to play the lead role of Ali Rose in Burlesque the Musical in the West End. Women whose data was leaked after they signed up to a dating safety app have become the target of harassment online. Tea Dating Advice, or Tea as it's known, was set up in the US with a view to allowing women-only-users to do background checks and share their experiences of men they had been dating. But a data breach has seen images, posts and comments from more than 70,000 women who signed up leaked. Datshiane speaks to BBC World Service reporter Jacqui Wakefield and sociologist Dr Jenny van Hooff about the risks of online dating.Research has been published which could pave the way for reducing the incidence of Alzheimer's in women. It shows women with the disease have lower levels of omega fatty acids than men. There's been debate about whether we should be taking fish oil supplements for some time, so will this answer the question? Datshiane is joined by Dr Cristina Legido Quigley, the lead researcher for this study from Kings College London and Dr Susan Kohlhaas from Alzheimer's Research UK which helped fund the work. Former journalist-turned-bestselling-author Elodie Harper has gained a reputation for re-drafting ancient history to centre the women hidden in the margins. Her trilogy The Wolf Den breathed life into the prostituted, enslaved women whose names can still be seen graffitied on the walls of the brothel at Pompeii. Elodie talks to Datshiane about her latest book, Boudicca's Daughter, in which she's turned her imagination to ancient Britain and the women who rose up against Roman rule in the First Century AD, led by the warrior queen Boudicca.Presenter: Datshiane Navanayagam Producer: Andrea Kidd

Subscribers can enjoy exclusive, extended conversations from this podcast. To subscribe, go to BumpInTheRoad.Substack.com   Magdalena Giovanna Rosa is a woman who has bravely navigated the tumultuous waters of divorce, loneliness, and self-discovery. Her story is one of resilience, empowerment, and the quest for self-love. Magdalena's journey began with a typical narrative: a marriage that seemed ideal but quickly turned lonely. After 17 years of feeling disconnected, she embarked on a solo retreat during which she found the courage to confront her feelings, leading  her to  seek a separation from her husband. This decision, while initially  liberating, was just the beginning of a tumultuous path.  But tumultuous paths can lead to remarkable insights and break throughs and so it was with  Magdalena  as she navigated her own loneliness and the societal pressures that often accompany divorce. Divorce, she warned, is a form of grief, And in facing that grief she also entered a period of self-discovery that led her to explore everything from poetry to burlesque dancing.   Join us as we explore the beauty of self-discovery, the importance of vulnerability, and the magic that unfolds when we choose to be present in our lives.     What they're saying:   “This is a beautiful book about life, its imperfections, its challenges, and its joys. It is a book of hope and wisdom for all of us facing a bump in the road.” –Pragito Dove   “Pat has woven together beautiful stories of life setbacks that have been transformed into spiritual growth. This book is a gift and a must-read for souls experiencing pain and yearning for growth.”   –Gary Hensel   Learn more at   Follow Bump on: ➡️  ➡️  ➡️  ➡️  ➡️

The Beatles' sojourn in the St. Pauli district of Hamburg during the early 1960s is part of music legend. As Julia Sneeringer reveals in A Social History of Early Rock ‘n' Roll in Germany: Hamburg from Burlesque to The Beatles, 1956-69 (Bloomsbury, 2018), though, this was just the most famous episode in the neighborhood's momentous engagement with rock ‘n' roll during that period, one of importance not just to music history but to the history of modern Germany. Located as it was outside the walls of the medieval city, St. Pauli was known for centuries as the entertainment quarter of Hamburg. The neighborhood had only recently recovered from the hardships of the postwar era when German club owners began booking English bands to play the new style of music that had just been introduced in Europe. The performances quickly proved a hit among teenage Germans, who flocked to out-of-the-way venues to watch the acts perform. As Sneeringer details, the encounters changed everyone involved, giving the musicians the chance to hone their skills and develop their style while through their participation the young men and women in the audience pushed against the conservative social boundaries imposed on them by their families and their society.

#thesubstance #thelastshowgirl #truecrimecommunity #newseries Treat Mitch to a Coffee buymeacoffee.com/aesthetepodcastFor this inaugural edition of our new series “Travels With The Dark” we are blessed to have a return guest, painter Alexandra Carter. We will do a joyous deepest dive into the movie s“The Last Showgirl” and "The Substance" more on this episode. More on this special , new series we are offering, here:The nature of art and culture reception and evaluation can be as volatile and powerful as the IPO or the stock market. Here at “Journey of An Aesthete Podcast” we are more interested in appreciation and understanding than anything else.It is always the most joyous occasion when I have the fortune to discuss movies - or anything else - with our guest painter Alexandra Carter. We were both so impressed and enriched by two releases from last year, Gia Coppola's The Last Showgirl and Coralie Fargeat's The Substance, that we devoted two hours in this episode to discussing them. As is inevitably the case we covered many topics, including personal travels and the Burlesque community in Las Vegas, as well as political and social matters. We hope you enjoy this one as much as we did.Alexandra's notes on this episode:These two films explore aging, identity, and societal expectations of women in strikingly different but complementary ways. The Last Showgirl spoke to me personally, having spent time in Las Vegas—especially within the burlesque and showgirl community during an artist residency. Its characters and setting felt deeply authentic, with Las Vegas itself becoming a living, breathing presence. Both films touch on themes of loss, delusion, and the erasure of women as they age. While The Substance delivers a visceral, maximalist critique through body horror, The Last Showgirl offers a more intimate, melancholic take on similar ideas.Alexandra's Bio Alexandra Carter (b. 1985, Boston, MA) is a San Diego–based artist whose paintings explore themes of fertility, maternity, and transformation, often drawing on her upbringing on a cranberry farm in Massachusetts. She holds an MFA from Goldsmiths, University of London (2015), and a BA from Rhodes College (2009). Her recent solo exhibitions include the Middle Room and Luna Anaïs Gallery (both Los Angeles), Rogers Gallery (Las Vegas), the University of Minnesota (St. Paul), and Oolong Gallery (San Diego), with additional solo shows at Fusion Gallery (Turin, Italy), Southfork (Memphis), Proyecto'ace Foundation (Buenos Aires), and the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art. Carter has participated in numerous residencies, including the Kone Foundation's Saari Residence (Finland), KulturKontakt Austria (Vienna), Rogers Art Loft (Las Vegas), Qwatz (Rome), Vice~Versa Foundation (Goa, India), the Kentucky Foundation for Women (Prospect, KY), and Graniti Murales (Sicily).Alexandra's Socialswww.alexandra-carter.com@alexandracarterstudio#giacoppola #demimoore #pamelaanderson #feminism #biology #reproduction #sexuality #wellness #health #bodyhorror #gothic #horror #fitness #aerobics #exercise #nature #culture #media #internet #socialmedia #internet #politics #jamieleecurtis #playboy #cinema #theatre #panting #portraitpainting #mother #children #maternity Series title: Travels With the Dark: Stories from humans in the “Limit- Experience”This “special” episode is the first in what promises to be a series concerning real occurrences of human beings when they are brought into or more aptly, up against “limit-experience”, a phrase from French and German philosophers that attempts to describe in the most general way what human beings undergo when they are thrust into situations that push them to their limits and conditions of maximum intensity. While originally this was intended to be a series in the “True Crime” genre I wondered to myself if subject and theme could extended outward.It might not even only encompass the most negative aspect of human experience.

“As the world changes, what place do my polyamorous romantic comedy novels have in our society? If the world now understands and somewhat accepts open relationships, is there even a need for my novels? These novels are for pre-pandemic times, BEFORE a lot of things changed — so what happens now? Are they ‘subversive enough,' and is there a place for them?”These are some of the questions your host, polyamorous romcom indie author and Life Coach Sagan Morrow, explores in this episode of the Author Diary Entries podcast! We discuss the importance of subversion and politics as part of creative expression, Sagan's thought process in applying this to her Polyamorous Passions novels, examples of what this looks like in burlesque dance (including a play-by-play breakdown of the subtext for one of Babe Maverick's most recent burlesque performances), and the deeply sinister nature of the seemingly-innocent “You should smile more!” comment that men so often say to women (and the way you can subvert this through the creative expression of living life). Resources mentioned in this episode: Small Town Stilettos and the Polyamorous Passions romantic comedy series: SaganMorrow.com/books Sagan's burlesque persona (Babe Maverick) on Instagram: Instagram.com/babemaverick Life coaching with Sagan: https://saganmorrow.com/coaching/ Connect with Sagan on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/saganlives Connect with Sagan on Threads: https://www.threads.net/@saganlives Author Diary Entries podcast, episode 182 (let people enjoy “silly” art): https://www.buzzsprout.com/400015/episodes/16955029-182-let-people-enjoy-things-in-defence-of-twilight-instagrammers Author Diary Entries podcast, episode 186 (why your “weird art” matters): https://www.buzzsprout.com/400015/episodes/17346188-186-the-art-of-creative-weirdness-and-an-ode-to-z-nation-burlesque-dancing-and-my-lady-jane Support the show

Ange is joined by director Luka Yuanyuan Yang and Cynthia Yee, one of the dancers/subjects of the film, to discuss how Chinese women were at the core of the Chinatown nightlife and burlesque scene in the 1950s, the powerful bond of sisterhood, and how starting a senior dance troupe gave some women finally a chance to feel free.This film is set in the heart of Chinatown, San Francisco, and was a part of the CAAMFest (Center for Asian American Media) Film Festival.

Sarah is still swanning it up in bella Italia (the country, not the restaurant), so Alex has brought in TheaterMania's editor-in-chief David Gordon to comb through two big stories in theatre this week. First of all, the turbulent Burlesque the Musical has had its opening night at the Savoy Theatre, with Alex giving his verdict on the production – and whether or not the behind-the-scenes controversy was over-sensationalised. Then – David reflects on his trip to Williamstown Theatre Festival in Massachusetts - where lines from a review spark public outcry from a production's director. Can creatives respond to reviews? And how does ALL of this play into what's happening at the New York Times? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Last night, the stage musical adaptation of BURLESQUE, which premiered regionally in the UK last year, officially opened at the Savoy Theatre in London.Since before the London transfer began rehearsals, however, it has been surrounded by rumours of behind the scenes drama, with a change in creative team, a delayed first preview performance and, now an equity investigation.•00:00 | introduction03:30 | what we knew09:50 | first preview drama16:20 | equity involvementAbout Mickey-Jo:As one of the leading voices in theatre criticism on a social platform, Mickey-Jo is pioneering a new medium for a dwindling field.

238. Tune in this week as I share my heartfelt reflections from a transformative and life-affirming weekend: my trip to Davenport, Iowa, to perform at the grand opening of the Ecdysiast Art Museum, a one of a kind burlesque museum and performance venue. From reconnecting with old friends to meeting new ones, performing, and teaching, it was a weekend where I felt nourished, connected, and truly alive in my body.

A beloved Pride tradition around the world is the roar of Dykes on Bikes: a fierce motorcade of motorcycle mamas who kick off the parade with a chrome-plated spectacle of queer power, and noise. They first rolled onto the scene at San Francisco Pride in the mid-'70s and quickly became a staple all over the world. Inspired by those heavy-metal heroines, Chicago's own Bikes and Mics emerged—a no-rules posse of queer performers, riders, and creatives. This year, the group celebrates their 10th anniversary with a high-octane Mad Max–themed ride, complete with leather, dust, and rumors of a Tina Turner impersonator showing up as Aunty Entity.Today, comedian and motorcycle mama Tamale Sepp joins us to dive into the wild, fabulous history of Bikes and Mics and Dykes on Bikes—two-wheeled revolutions led by fierce queer women who love a little heavy metal rumbling between their thighs.BIKES AND MICS: https://www.bikesandmics.comFOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM:★ instagram.com/tamalerocks★ instagram.com/faustofernos★ instagram.com/marcfelionPlus-• JoJo Siwa cancels upcoming Chicago Pride performance amid controversy over dating a man. • Comedian Margaret Cho says Ellen DeGeneres was “not nice” and acted like a “mean girl.”• Sidetrack, one of the world's largest gay bars, plans to open the first-ever airport gay bar at Chicago's O'Hare Terminal 1.• Openly queer musician Daniel Hamrick hijacks a ‘Straight Pride' event with a trans power ballad.

In this episode I continue my review of Broadway's Nostalgia Craze of the 1970s and beyond. Many of the musicals that emerged in the late 60s and very early 70s were also influenced by the incipient Nostalgia Craze, even if overall their shows were decidedly modern. HAIR, Jesus Christ Superstar, Godspell, Two Gentlemen of Verona, Applause  all included musical sequences that recalled the Vaudeville era and Silver Age of Broadway. So nostalgia was in the air, and then No, No, Nanette sent it into the stratosphere! And all of this was before the nostalgia craze expanded to include the 1950s. Almost exactly one year after the premiere of Nanette the musical Grease opened on Broadway. It became wildly popular and ran for eight years on Broadway passing Fiddler to become the longest running musical of all time until A Chorus Line passed it. And Grease's enormous success set into motion a 1950s wing of the nostalgia craze by inspiring both the movie American Grafiiti (1973) and the TV show Happy Days (1974). The success of Nanette led directly to a 1973 revival Irene, the smash hit musical that opened in 1919 and became the longest running musical of its day. And Grease led directly to Over Here !, the 1974 musical in which the director, choreographer and producers of Grease attempted to do for the 1940s, what their previous show had done for the 1950s. The two still living Andrews Sisters, Patty and Maxine, where enticed to star in Over Here!, and the Sherman Brothers, of Disney fame, provided a terrific set of brand new very authentic sounding Big Band era style songs for them to swing. Broadway's Nostalgia Craze continued with a hit 1975 revival of the Jerome Kern Princess Theater musical Very Good Eddie, then in 1979 both the 1928 Edie Cantor vehicle Whoopee! and the 1930's style classic Burlesque show, Sugar Babies.  It was inevitable that the movie 42nd Street itself would be transformed into a Broadway stage musical in 1980. That same season there was the Marx Brothers inspired revusical A Day In Hollywood A Night In The Ukraine. 1983 brought a hit revival of Rodgers & Hart's On Your Toes, and over the next decade there would be two Gershwin “revisals”, both of them so heavily reworked that they were given new titles: My One And Only in 1983, and Crazy For You in 1993. In between, came the Broadway debut of a 1937 London hit Me And My Girl in 1986. I would even include the 1980 blockbuster Annie in this category. Although it was, of course, an entirely new musical it certainly played on nostalgia for the comic strip and radio show Little Orphan Annie from the Depression Era, and smartly used that to echo the recession of the 1970's. Some people would say that the Nostalgia Craze never ended, at least as far as Broadway is concerned.  Although, revivals of popular musicals have been part of the Broadway mix throughout most of its 120+ year history, the success of No, No, Nanette and its successors created a pattern and expectation that in every season – there should be at least enough revivals to fill out a Tony Award “Best Revival” category. And you could say that the immense popularity of City Center's Encore Series is an extension of the Nostalgia Craze, as well. I for one hope that we will never tire of rediscovering and reinventing the great musicals of the past.

Strap in and set phasers to risqué! Lucy Blueskies returns to the pod to dish all the juicy details about Slut Trek: Holodeck—the boldly burlesque Star Trek bash that beamed into Boston earlier this year.

We're talking drag kings, dazzling performance art, nerdy kink, and unapologetic Trek-loving queerness. Engage, indeed.

What is the art of creative weirdness? What are some great examples of creative weirdness, and how can YOU tap into your own creative weirdness when you are creating art (of any kind)? What is the ONE situation in which creative weirdness is NOT effective? Does art NEED to be “weird” in order to be powerful and incredible? What social commentary and feminist lenses can we view mainstream blockbuster action movies like Die Hard and Top Gun? We answer all of these questions and more in this episode of the Author Diary Entries podcast! We collectively, as a society, do NOT share our weirdness enough! So let's talk about that today, through the lens of creative weirdness in TV (this is essentially a rave review of Z Nation), creative weirdness in performance art (burlesque dancing and what makes the burlesque community so special in general), and creative weirdness in novels (My Lady Jane). Resources mentioned in this episode: Small Town Stilettos and the Polyamorous Passions series: SaganMorrow.com/books Sagan's burlesque persona (Babe Maverick) on Instagram: Instagram.com/babemaverick Solopreneur Diary Entries weekly newsletter: SaganMorrow.com/newsletter How to Active Your Intuition (to reconnect with yourself and create space for your creative weirdness to flourish) masterclass: SaganMorrow.com/masterclass Connect with Sagan on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/saganlives Connect with Sagan on Threads: https://www.threads.net/@saganlives Support the show

Abigail Munn (Artistic Director - Circus Bella) Since its inception, Abigail Munn has been directing, creating, and producing new work for Circus Bella. Along with the more conventional duties she has also served as the company's truck driver, catering service and laundress. An accomplished dancer, choreographer, and aerialist, Munn holds a BFA in Modern Dance from UC Santa Barbara. As a child, born and raised in SF, she appeared with the Pickle Family Circus, and with Zoppe Italian Family Circus, Lone Star Circus, the Moisture Festival, the New Pickle Circus, Cabaret Verdelet, Circus Cabaret, Tease-O-Rama, Va Voom Room, and The Velvet Hammer Burlesque. Munn was commended in the NY Times for her performance in Alma Esperanza Cunningham's Princess. Munn co-directed the nouveau-vaudeville troupe Kitty Bang, an internationally recognized three-time “Best of the Bay” winner that is influential in the modern Burlesque resurgence. Over the past few years Abigail has become increasingly involved in advocacy work for the Circus Arts. When transitioning Circus Bella performers to Employees, she became aware that the current workers compensation rates and policy descriptions in California were way out of step with the current reality of the Circus Industry. Munn embarked on a one-woman quest to help change this and after initiating a study from the Workers Comp Insurance Rating Bureau (WCIRB), rates were significant lowered (by 80%) for ALL Circus Companies in CA. In addition, she is a founding member and on the board of the American Circus Alliance. TICKETS: ALL SHOWS FREE!
