Featuring:
The Clown:
Your emcee Kochina Rude has been known to push buttons, her own and other people's. She's a button pusher. A rioter. And a riot.
The Triple:
God said "Let there be fierceness" and there was Militia Towers. When she was born she came out and landed on the floor in the splits, spinning a high pony tail around her head and singing a Nina Simone medley. She lipsynchs like she's here to win, and entertaints with ferocity. You will want to have your dollars, your debt cards, cashier cheques, and money orders ready because she's gonna make you make it rain.

The Aunty:
Elsa Touche is your tipsy great aunt on the dance floor who you only see at weddings, funerals, brisses, christenings, and graduations. She smells like cognac and olives, and seems to have stopped shopping for new clothes t 40 years ago. She's always dancing with no shoes on, just her opaque navy stockings. Then one day you find out she's the most powerful defense attorney in New York and also has a PHD in Art History. That's Elsa Touche.
The Tease:
Clara Bodacious has the face of an angel and the moves of the devil. Pay close attention because in just mere moments her clothes are gone and with them your inhibitions. She seduces she cajoles and she is her own damn spotlight.

The Siren:
You always know when Persia's in the room- her laugh rings out clear like a siren. The good kind. Her numbers make us want to dance, laugh, cry and get together- because a party or something like it is about to rush in the room, riding her coattails, or more like, her petticoats.

With your door host Hollywood Texas
