Tasteful, Arty Titty Show at Sugar Lounge


The Sugar Lounge at 47 Columbia Street is now hosting burlesque nights the first Saturday of every month. Their second show last night was hosted by a Sarah Palin look-a-like gearing up for the campaign trail in "oh twelve." The show featured the kind of talented, arty, naked women that men are allowed to gawk at without getting in trouble with their girlfriends, including a flaming hula hoop dancer.

After the show, amateur voyeurs are welcome to come up on stage and do awkward karaoke-strip dancing. There is no cover charge so expect the requisite amount of horny men too cheap to go to a strip club, nursing beers while glaring at pasty-covered cleavage.

Since the Slipper Room closed for major renovation in June, dancers have been left scouring the city in search of regular gigs and often taking it on the road. Last night's troupe was previously booked then cancelled at Building on Bond. Perhaps the Boerum Hill mommy patrons found it too smutty.

Hopefully, they've found a new long-term home on the Columbia Waterfront Districtthough with the new über playground down the street, we wouldn't be surprised if some Giuliani-era zoning law made it illegal to show flaming boobies within a quarter mile of Brooklyn's golden children. Enjoy it while it lasts.
