About me: I'm like Hugo Man of a Thousand Faces, only not bald. Oh, and I'm a chick.
Mistress of Ceremonies Odessa Lil is just your average turn-of-the-century wondering domme. Ever since she ran SpeakEasily, the first-ever weekly neo-burlesque show in Oakland back in 2004, Odessa Lil has been whipping audiences into shape at shows like Bombshell Betty’s Burlesqueteers, Barbary Coast Burlesque, and the Hubba Hubba Revue, not to mention film openings, rock shows, and private parties.
One of the few female MCs in a scene dominated by men, Odessa Lil spelunks fresh comic territory with an olde-timey flair. Did we just say “spelunks”? Odessa Lil is available to those hiring for weddings, Bar Mitzvahs, funerals, divorce proceedings, difficult labors, home foreclosures, and séances.
But ultimately, little is known about the one they call Odessa Lil besides the now famous fragmented and possibly apocryphal tale involving a mule, a shoehorn, and the Fresno State Glee Club. Much has been said about her penchant for fast horse carts and slow men, but no one was listening.
I directed this episode (the only episode so far) of...
TALES OF THE PURPLE ONION:
......
Who I'd like to meet: Those hiring for weddings, Bar Mitzvahs, funerals, divorce proceedings, difficult labors, séances, and SpeakEasilys. Oh, and I need a man I can ride around like a horse. Please contact me ASAP.
"Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians
Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders)
"The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!" ~ Terry Zwigoff

Oh, Odessa Lil - Mistress of Ceremonies! You are an absolute delight! Tell me, are you naturally this charming or did you take lessons?
I am packing my steamer trunk as we speak and am soon to set sail for Londontown! My crystal ball is a little hazy, but it does seem that there is a good chance that we will soon meet and that I will have the heartfelt pleasure of telling your fortune! Could it be true?
In any case, the stars have indicated that we are destined to be fast friends in this lifetime and the next and I have no doubt that they are correct. The thought of this pleases me immensely.
Looking forward to all our future adventures, it is thus I remain very truly yours, &c.
This Wednesday (April 29th) - Holy Rolemodel at the
Rock-it Room (406 Clement St - San Francisco)
