Burlesque Book Launch of BEAUTIFUL GARBAGE

I celebrated the release of my novel BEAUTIFUL GARBAGE with a burlesque book party at the Leadbelly, a speakeasy on the border of the LES and Chinatown. Guest of a Guest covered the event as did A Mix of Things and NYC Prowler called the party a "huge success!"

We drank the tequila rose, ate Scotch eggs and lamb sliders, listened to dub step and enjoyed a burlesque performance from Fifi la Flea who danced to Try a Little Tenderness.
