Fired for Being a Burlesque Performer?!?
A seattle burlesque performer, who goes by the stage name of Ravenna Black was fired from her day job for being a burlesque performer. She worked at Windermere Real Estate/Kingston, an agency in Kitsap County, which is just outside of Seattle. After being fired, she landed a job in downtown Seattle selling luxury homes.
Stop me if I'm wrong, but aren't there laws against discrimination? Besides, it is not like burlesque is illegal or... I just think that people don't really know what burlesque is all about.

Actually Stacey, I was fired because my former broker was a humorless prude who was offended by some of the images on my website - not because there's anything terribly raunchy about our show.
The Sinner Saint Burlesque Revue is quite good, come on out to see! Our open run show is every Thursday night at Noc Noc (1516 Second Avenue, Seattle) at 9:30.
