February 18th- Announced my resolution to shut down the #WheelSexycabaret. Public announcement will be made March 1 at the show.#immoral

Minneapolis performer Ophelia Flame ranked number seventeen on this list! There’s a fabulous video of her performing with a copying machine. Check it out.

An independent bicycle shop specializing in urban cycling and alternative transportation. Check them out.

Our goal was set, sexily tackled, and pin-down for our pin-up performers! But here’s the deal, we can keep going. We still need to purchase spirit gum for pasties, a little more velcro, glittery lotion, and we’re almost at our goal for paying performers. If you ride on two wheels, drive on four, or walk on two feet, please consider donating. You are wheel sexy, no matter how you get around!

Curious about who is involved in this cabaret? Check out our Performers page! Meet our co-facilitators Au NaturElle and Retro Spectacles. Or, you can learn about the fabulous featured groups, like smokin’ jazz improv duo Smoking w/ Baby and the awesome dance troupe Mad King Thomas.

Thanks again to BurlesqueMN who hosted a one-on-one class with our performers yesterday. Their Heart Breakers show at Ground Zero was hot, and nothing beat seeing troupe leader Cherry Bomb Jac get – surprise!-  proposed to onstage. Congratulations!

 This Valentines day, the Wheel Sexy Sponsor Smitten Kitten has got you covered.

So what is sexy about biking?

You may be curious about some of the ideas surrounding Wheel Sexy and it’s celebration of the frame–be it steel or skin.  If you are, then you should check out the zine Our Bodies, Our Bikes.

It’s stories about women’s bodies on their bicycles. The experiences–social, emotional, and physical–run the gamut.  Reading this zine was like having a kaleidoscope stuck in front of my face and spun, til I could see colors and angles and experiences heretofore unknown to me,  where before I had only seen my bike.

For example, I have NEVER thought about biking while pregnant, much less in labor. And it hadn’t even occurred to me that there might be extreme pleasure potential in stopping for a red light.

It’s not just that biking is sexy- although it is.

And it’s not just that burlesque is making me think about everybody’s body as a powerful machine.

Maybe it’s that the relationship between bodies, sexuality, and cycling are all so mashed up in my mind, that getting multiple perspectives somehow made everything clearer.

Anyway- it’s three bucks worth of awesome. Get it.
