Art Salon wouldn’t be Art Salon without provocative performances. March’s musical performance by The Cleaners brought the heat with a mix of original tunes and covers of crowd favorites like MGMT’s Time to Pretend. The three piece band played two widely-enjoyed sets that seemed to resonate across the age-diverse crowd. The young Brian Parker also performed and though he seems to dislike being likened to an early John Mayer, the comparison is somewhat apt. That’s a good thing though, so long as Parker keeps himself out of Page Six.
Finally, the bawdy performances of burlesque dancer Lady Scoutington showed us a world where sexy and funny collide. It’s quite rare for someone as beautiful as Lady Scoutington to develop an interesting personality – much less a funny one – under such a pretty face, simply because they don’t have to. Lucky for us, Scoutington is a different sort. How she managed to conceal a flask of whiskey, a full pint of beer, a wine glass, and a martini shaker all within one skimpy outfit may forever be a mystery, but it sure was fun watching her reveal them.
Catch the party yourself at the next Art Salon Party on Thursday, April 29th. $30.
