NAKED GIRLS READING Tween Lit April 2, 2010

Are you confused by the strange changes happening to your body? Do you hate your parents and the popular kids? Does it sometimes seem like no one really gets you? You don't have to feel so alone any more: on Friday, April 2nd, Pinchbottom Burlesque presents NAKED GIRLS READING Tween Lit. And the Naked Girls totally understand you.

Dive into the angst-ridden classics of early adolescence with Nasty Canasta and an all-star cast of burlesque performers, as the Naked Girls share favorites from their own preteen years - Judy Blume, Carolyn Keene, R.L. Stein and more - as well as contemporary masterpieces of prepubescent literature such as Twilight and Harry Potter. "Whether it's making the cheer squad, solving the mystery of the haunted farm, or fighting an evil wizard bent on the total subjugation of humanity, the tween years are full of problems that can seem insurmountable," says Pinchbottom co-producer Jonny Porkpie. "It's comforting to know that we can turn to books for so many of the answers to the questions of youth."

The April salon continues the run of Naked Girls Reading at the plush and decadent upstairs lounge at Madame X in Greenwich Village. $25 reserved seating in this intimate space is limited to 40 patrons (and includes one drink from Madame X's 'Foreplay' menu), with a few standing room tickets available at $20.

"As a member in good standing of The Baby-sitters Club since 1987, I think it's high time we paid tribute to the single greatest influence on American youth outside of television, text messaging and the internet," avows Nasty Canasta. BB Heart, Bunny Love, Clams Casino and Delirium Tremens join Nasty in navigating the shoals of preadolescence at NAKED GIRLS READING Tween Lit, at Madame X for one night only, Friday April 2nd at 8pm.
