Culminating 21 years of astounding, groundbreaking counter-cultural programming, The Swedish Housewife presents an evening of mind-blowing, eye-popping entertainment celebrating iconic figures, both dead and alive. El Vez pays tribute to John Sex. Armitage Shanks conjures up the spirit of Steven Jesse Bernstein. Performance artists Miss Indigo Blue, Dina Martina, Kathleen Hunt's Triadic Breast, Queen Shmooquan, and The Naked Folk Singer bring more blow-out variety acts, which also include the sublime Lily Verlaine "A Living Breathing Work of Art" and NANDA, the juggling, stripping, martial-arts acrobats. It wouldn't be the kitchen sink without burlesque and gender performances from high glamour gender-bending Waxie Moon, Ernie Von Schmaltz "The Man, The Myth, The Moustache," and disturbingly hot mannequin action from Iva Handful, assisted by drag-lesque sensation Ultra. New York City's own "True Weimar Fraulein" Miss Astrid, host and founder of the legendary Va Va Voom Room, emcees this three-ring circus of dizzying heights.
