Sealboy & the Blondes opening number
........................................................................................................................................................................................
A great many unusual, uninhibited things happened on the stage of the Ice Palace on July 7, as Daniel Nardicio presented "Sealboy & the Blondes," a fun-filled burlesque show, from the Slipper Room, in the East Village, and entirely appropriate for the night of the full moon.
Sealboy is the differently-abled and extremely talented and amiable singer Mat Fraser, from England, and Julie Atlas Muz produced the show. Daniel and GoGoatboy-a sexy satyr, who offered a pre-show, dancing to Elvis' "You Ain't Nothin' But a Hound Dog" and other numbers, and ate some of the tip money-shared DJ duties.
For the opening number, Sealboy, in Native American headdress, singing "Fire-I'll teach you to burn," led the full company, garbed in red, in a fire dance. England's Viva Hollywood, in leopard skins, discovered the ruby slippers to the melody of "Also sprach Zarathustra," the theme from "2001: a Space Odyssey," and danced and stripped to "Wild Thing." Bambi the Mermaid, from Coney Island, was armed with lobster claws for her dance. Bunny Love stripped to "Feeling Good" and did amazing things with her long pink gloves.
To the music of the aria "Ebben, ne andrò lontano," from "La Wally," Julie wept bitter tears, causing flowery, nude Tigger! to bloom, after which the full cast paid tribute to the full moon. Julie's solo involved balancing glasses of water on her head, drinking from them and refilling them with her urine, then continuing the balancing and drinking theme. Tigger!'s solo involved the sad tale of Jimmy and Mary, in which he played both parts, and into which wedding gown and dildo figured.
The "Garden of Eden" was the setting for a leafy Dirty Martini's dance, which she concluded by biting into the forbidden apple and tossing it to an audience member. To the tune of "Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing," Little Brooklyn danced the tale of King Kong and took responsibility for playing both the lady and the ape.
Sealboy invited Brian Roland to use his teeth to strip off the MC's glitzy red shorts. His black thong having disappeared as well, Sealboy performed the cock-twirling "Windmill" and celebrated 22-year-old Anthony's birthday with an onstage spanking.
For a grand finale, the company indulged in a nude whipped cream pie fight, accompanied by the Village People's "Fire Island."
