WS people are traveling: France, Montreal, Cuba. This picture comes from a bike lane in Sète, France. Traveling with your bike is oh-so-sexy, don’t you think?
So, if 2013 came around…
And you wanted to see a bicycle burlesque show in the Twin Cities…
Where would you want to see it? Email us your ideas:

The Greenway is about to get SEXY.
Check out number 14!
After our dance, we’ll be biking over to the AFTER PARTY @ Intermedia Arts!
Join us!!
There will be wine, beer, and food from the BLB. ALL PROCEEDS from food and beverage sales go to the Midtown Greenway Coalition.
Now that’s wheelsexy.
Wide Load? HECK YES!
A recent trip to the Hub! One of their fabulous mechanics I talked to told me to be aware that I was riding with a wide load.
Wide load? Honey. I do this all the time (and I look good doing it).
My wheelsexy biking booty brought me home.
Thanks Hub for the new tire and tire levers.
Making Pasties with Bike Tubes
Making pasties is too fun! Using bike tubes makes things a little tricky because the tubes are thick, but on the flip side, tubes don’t show needle punctures when you sew ‘um.
Materials:
- Buckram (this will act as your “frame” or pastie canvas, if you will)
- Liner fabric (mine was pink!)
- Glue (I used a pH adhesive made for paper, next time I may try spray adhesive)
- Pencil (to create your stencil)
- Scratch paper (your stencil)
- Old bike tube!
How:
I made my own stencil (a circular pastie looks like a pac-man!) at the size I needed.
The buckram shouldn’t show, that’s just to help build shape and size.
I wrapped my pink liner around the buckram’s edges, so it would hide better. Then glue!
Finally, sew the pastie into it’s final shape.
There were so many layers and the tube is thick, so this took patience, but I’m so happy with them! What color would your pasties be?
BikeChic? Nah, I’m just Wheel Sexy.
Last Friday, a rainy ride
Before
After
One clean shirt, one ready for the wash.
Riding in the rain? Now that’s #wheelsexy.
Are your short-shorts ready?
I found mine used at Ragstock ($5! What?) – I think they need an iron. Or maybe not. :) Queer Bike Gang & 30 Days of Biking present SHORT SHORTS RIDE! Meet at Brackett Park at 5pm between the baseball diamonds just off of the Greenway, a little bit west of 38th Ave. Roll out at 5:30pm, end at ARTCRANK, prize for the shortest shorts. Have a great weekend!
Tassel Twirling Class
Tomorrow from 5pm – 6pm, Miss Indigo Blue is teaching a tassel twirling class at the Ritz Theater Studio in NE. The class is open to all bodies – if you have a chest, you can join in! You can bring your own pasties, or buy TwirlyGirl pasties there.
Interested? Register for the class here.
March: The sexy month. And it’s not over yet!
March is filled with so much burlesque, awesome group rides, and sexy events that I’m having a hard time keeping track of them all.
BurlesqueMN got their March session classes rolling, a bunch of pedalin’ hotties rode in International Working Women’s Day group ride, the usual fabulous classes at Smitten Kitten, and a Tiny Bike Shop Concert on our opening night at Calhoun Cycle, and more? Whoa! At the end of the month, I’m excited about Ophelia Flame’s Cinema Burlesque & Social Club.
Don’t forget, tonight is Black Hearts Burlesque‘s show at Lee’s Liquor Lounge. There’ll be a raffle to benefit Full Cycle! What? Another bike/burlesque event this month? Oh yeah baby.
