The first time I heard the term "politically correct," I was sitting on John Sinclair's bed. It was mid December , and the week before, the Light Opera had put on a light show at the People's Ballroom. I was seriously into doing lightshows at the time. Gather up some used slide and overhead projectors, mix well with colored oils and a variety of home-made psychedelic apparatus, and voila: a swirling visual treat just right to shine above a stage filled with sweaty rock and rollers.

New Orleans French Quarter has always had a reputation for catering to visitors carnal desires. Burlesque dancing became popular in French Quarter night clubs during the s and s when servicemen would pass through the city looking for entertainment. Eventually the owners of these night clubs started competing with each other to produce more elaborate shows in order to draw in bigger crowds. They invested in costumes, live music, hairstylists, and hired trained dancers. This is how Burlesque evolved into an art form. Trixie Minx is a member of a community of burlesque producers and performers who have sought to revive the art form in recent years. I consider New Orleans my home.

OK, to be honest, Storyville was also known for its unregulated prostitution and organized crime, but burlesque and jazz are the remaining traditions the city should be proud of. Famed New Orleans burlesque performer Trixie Minx performs a modern burlesque show with classic twists -- think pink feathers and martini glasses set to old jazz standards. Location varies Another Trixie Minx production, Fleur de Tease brings the big top to those who adore carnival-style burlesque, with aerial acts, sword swallowers, fire breathers, and all the stars of the sideshow. House of Blues French Quarter Part vaudeville, part jazz concert, part strip show: this authentic, s-inspired House of Blues-based troupe is your best bet for burlesque traditionalists.

From the infamous red light Storyville days to the New Orleans we know and love today, the Crescent City is one of the steamiest cities in the country which might partially explain all the humidity. Oyster specials and even free oysters! Hotel Monteleone address and info French Quarter The Hotel Monteleone might be more well known for the famous Carousel Bar and also for inventing the Vieux Carre cocktail as well as being the annual host and home base for Tales of the Cocktail each year. What you might not know, however, is that the Monteleone also houses one of the sexiest rooftop pools in town. And when it heats up in the Crescent City, a pool is the place to cool down and spy a little flesh.
