The Babes in Boinkland

About me:

The Babes in Boinkland are a Boston-based burlesque troupe directed and managed by Vanessa White.

We, the BiB, strive to create performances which, in the true spirit of burlesque, are socially and culturally relevant. Our shows tend to be dance-based and lighthearted; we poke fun at politics, social issues, pop culture, and of course, sex.

Make no mistake: this is not your grandmother's burlesque experience, this is a comic zeitgeist of a variety show with some serious sex appeal.

"“Hot, Hilarious and Helping Haiti” will feature a diverse cast. Among the new burlesque performers are Vanessa White, a.k.a. Sugar Dish, and her burlesque dance company, Babes in Boinkland, winners of the Boston Phoenix Reader’s Poll for Best Dance Performers. Their stage show is notable for the variety of body types featured — big and small, tall and short, black and beige, etc. The audience enjoys feasting their eyes on a wide range of looks and appearances, including people who look like them. These ladies still remove some of their clothing, but unlike the dames of yesteryear, they are no man’s toys. Creating their own scenarios, appealing to women as well as men, and playing to the house, they offer a different window to sensuality."

And, the BiB joined us on-stage with a slick choreographed dance to GIN AND JUICE! Did someone say Tony Award??"

"The highlight of the show, for me, was [Richard Cheese's] performance of 'Gin and Juice' for which the [Babes in Boinkland] came on stage and did a routine while Mr. Cheese sang. They had canes that looked like giant joints and wore pasties that looked like marijuana leaves. Very nice."

"I am flustered...I think I have the vapors!"

"Babes in Boinkland: a group of socially-conscious modernists led by a former ballerina....

"But the burlesque revival isn't all nostalgia. [The Babes in Boinkland] dressed in police blues, disrobed while dancing with those dreaded Aqua Teen Hunger Force mooninites that brought the city to a standstill last month. It was, to say the least, a disarming performance."

--Sarah Faith Alterman,

There was a more traditional sexy strip tease from two Babes in Boinkland, slender gals from an offshoot of the local sex magazine. Sugar Dish and Pixy Dust danced to “Under Pressure” as prim businesswomen who got nearly naked to engage in a faux lesbian tryst. BiB had previously performed on a show with Big Moves, and the two groups struck up a simpático relationship. The feeling, said Dish, “is anyone should be able to get up there and take their clothes off and feel hot.”

"Babes in Boinkland, a Boston-based burlesque troupe, wowed the audience with their cabaret-style dancing."
