Photo by Alissa Greenman from Black Cat Burlesque's epic interpretation of the ancient Sumerian Legend of Inanna, goddess of heaven and earth and her descent into the underworld to gain the power of her sister Ereshkigal, Queen of the Dead. Inanna disrobes before demons at the 7 gates to the underworld and hideous revenge ensues. This was Miss Firecracker's dream project come to life: super-genuinely creepy mythological burlesque, with amazing choreography by Mary Widow, a great performance by the stunning Das Numi, and ominous soundtrack and demon wrangling by J. Cannibal. And I got to make a Pazuzu mask and costume and just stand there looking freaky, sweet!
