Mes Cheris!

I love New York! There is no better place to discover new talent, new shows, new ideas. It just is a city where everyday you get a fresh perspective on things ~whether you asked for it or not~ which I find extremely sexy.

The other night, I went to the Bowery Poetry Club & Cafe. Oui mes cheris, New York might be one of the rare place that knows how to make Poetry exciting & hot. The club oozes cool, not the kind sold by the gallon in all the latest new chic lounges and actually just changes packaging every semester (mew!). Non non, je vous assure! This one is the real thing with bartenders that look like poets, give or take a few tattoos!

They have a full agenda of amazing poets & poetess that come for readings, as well as Poetry Slam, Bowery Women and so much more.

But that night it all started with some Burlesque (yes I know it helps to add some ohlala to poetry) and Legs Malone was introducing some new talent to her audience. Just their names could make your dreams a little sweeter: Creamy Stevens, Stormy Leather, and from the UK, Sarah-Louise Young.

Raw sexiness came that night in all different shapes and performances.

But Sarah-Louise Young gave me the best entertainment while staying fully dressed. This English woman  played such a perfect French woman (drama included) that it took me a while to realize that she was not a Parisienne! That in itself is worth the price of the evening.

“What has the English?” by La Poule Plombee is my newest favorite song for its mix of humor and wit. Since then I’ve been singing out loud:

“This may be Deja Vu and I don’t want to make a fuss…. but strictly entre nous what has English given us? …
We gave you Bel- Esprit, we gave you C’est la vie, you gave us …Flip Flop !
We gave you Fiancé, We gave lingerie, you gave us… Jogging! “

If you are in New York run to catch one of her performances this week!
