Toronto, Canada: Get ready for an evening of fabulous burlesque and amazing entertainment, as The Rated R Show will be presenting “Bells, Bands & Broads” a burlesque fundraiser in support of its fall art show. A salacious and sensual evening of entertainment in support of a salacious and sensual art show—what more could you want from a Friday night in Toronto?
“Bells, Bands & Broads” features performances by Glamourpuss Burlesque – ‘putting the ass back in class’ – and a DJ set from electronic duo TMDP, blending electro, disco, progressive house and 80s pop. There will be music from Pavlov’s Dogs, a unique English handbell quintet determined to show the world just how hard handbells can rock, and magician James Harrison will be engaging the crowd throughout the night. A silent auction features prizes provided by sponsors and artists for the Rated R Show.

Hey thanks to everyone who came out to meet Danielle Corsetto, author of the web (and print!) comic GIRLS WITH SLINGSHOTS last Friday night. GIRLS WITH SLINGSHOTS is generally only available directly from Danielle, but she was nice enough to sell us a bunch of copies for here in-store. If you weren’t able to make it out to the event, signed copies of GIRLS WITH SLINGSHOTS volume 1 + 2 are now available for $20 each (both floors).
Speaking of which, we also got a bunch of Rufus Dayglo’s two TANK GIRL collections, TANK GIRL: THE GIFTING and TANK GIRL: VISIONS OF BOOGA signed AND sketched in by the man himself at his recent signing. They’re available for their standard price (about $21) on the second floor.
