About Me


The Babes in Boinkland are a Boston-based burlesque troupe directed and managed by Vanessa White , and sponsored by We, the BiB, strive to create performances which, in the true spirit of burlesque , are socially and culturally relevant. Our shows tend to be dance-based and lighthearted; we poke fun at politics, social issues, pop culture, and of course, sex. Make no mistake: this is not your grandmother's burlesque experience, this is a comic zeitgesit of a variety show with some serious sex appeal. Subscribe to our blog for news about upcoming shows! Thanks for your interest and support! XOXO For More Info and BOOKING, please contact Vanessa at [email protected] To join our MAILING LIST send an email to [email protected] Sugar Dish at the 2008 Great Boston Burlesque Expo as "Rag Doll": Some of the Babes at Jerkus Circus, Cambridge: And at the Bowery Ballroom in New York with Richard Cheese: "And, the BiB joined us on-stage with a slick choreographed dance to GIN AND JUICE! Did someone say Tony Award??" Richard Cheese "The highlight of the show, for me, was [Richard Cheese's] performance of 'Gin and Juice' for which the [Babes in Boinkland] came on stage and did a routine while Mr. Cheese sang. They had canes that looked like giant joints and wore pasties that looked like marijuana leaves. Very nice." The Anonymous Blogger "I am flustered...I think I have the vapors!" --Dennis Brennan in response to The Babes' performance at his cd release party. The Boston Phoenix "Babes in Boinkland: a group of socially-conscious modernists led by a former ballerina.... "But the burlesque revival isn't all nostalgia. [The Babes in Boinkland] dressed in police blues, disrobed while dancing with those dreaded Aqua Teen Hunger Force mooninites that brought the city to a standstill last month. It was, to say the least, a disarming performance." --Sarah Faith Alterman, The Boston Phoenix There was a more traditional sexy strip tease from two Babes in Boinkland, slender gals from an offshoot of the local sex magazine. Sugar Dish and Pixy Dust danced to “Under Pressure” as prim businesswomen who got nearly naked to engage in a faux lesbian tryst. BiB had previously performed on a show with Big Moves, and the two groups struck up a simpático relationship. The feeling, said Dish, “is anyone should be able to get up there and take their clothes off and feel hot.”--Jim Sullivan, The Boston Phoenix "Babes in Boinkland, a Boston-based burlesque troupe, wowed the audience with their cabaret-style dancing." --Erin Smith in an article about the 2008 Great Boston Burlesque Exposition The Cambridge Chronicle,
