Mais pas de Dame au Grand chapeau noir et blanc, pas de Jean-Pierre Foucault, ou de Miss plus sottes les unes que les autres. Oh non! A la place, la seule et unique, l'immence (littéralement puisque même du haut de mon mètre quatre-vingt-cinq, je me sentais petit)... Juliette Dragon, dans une robe "table de jeux", un corset rouge flamboyant, et juché sur des talons interminables.
But No ladies with a big black & white hats (-ed. former president of Miss France is always wearing one), no Jean-Pierre Foucault (-ed. Miss France tv host), or Sillier & sillier Miss. Oh No! Instead of that, the one & only, the unique... Juliette Dragon, wearing a "card table" dress, a flaming red Corset, and endless heels.

La candidate suivante, nous a offert, elle aussi, un numéro quelque peu différent alliant chant et effeuillage. Mais pas n'importe quelle chanson, la célèbre "Nuit d'une demoiselle" de Colette Renard pour la plus grande joie du public hilare.
The fourth act was also a bit different mixing a very naughty song called 'Les Nuits d'une Demoiselle' (-ed. "The Night of a YoungLady" - referencing all the expression for the female masturbation) sang by the contestant while striping in front of a laughing audience.

Après tant d'émotion, il etait temps d'aller se désaltérer et de découvrir le decor Végassien du Festival. avec sa chapelle, ou un pretre un peu particulier au crâne tatoué, ainsi qu'une pin up et un sosie d'Elvis se feront un plaisir de vous unir à qui vous plaira. Et parce que Las-Vegas ce n'est pas seulement des mariage éclaire mais également la ville du péché, où les peep shows cotoient les tables de jeu et vice versa. Tout y est. Après un Delicieux "Las Vegas Love" il est déjà l'heure de la seconde partie de l'Election de Miss Paris Burlesque.
After so much emotion, it was time to have a drink and to discover the vegas set, with its wedding chapel, where a Elvis lookalike, a beautiful pin up, and a priest with a tatoo on the skull would "mary" you to anyone you want. And because Vegas isn't only the town of quick wedding but also known as the Sin City, where the peep-shows are side by side with the gambling tables etc... Everything is at Paris Burlesque Festival. After a delicious "Las Vegas Love" cocktail, it's already the beginning of the second parts of the election.

La seconde partie s'ouvre sur le désespoir d'une marié abandonné par son bien aimé au pied de l'autel. Et qui décide de mettre fin à ses jours en avalant une épée. Malheureusement, un petit problème technique nous à privé d'un show de main en feux, qu'elle devait effectuer. Mais elle n'a pas perdu la face et a continué son numéros malgré ça.
The second part opened up on a desperate bride left bu her beloved one in front of the altar. She then decides to commit suicide by swallowing a sword. Unfortunatly she couldn't use her "fire hands" prop during her strip because of a technical problem but went on with her act.

Comme à son habitude Juliette Dragon vient présenter la candidate suivante quand tout a coup une mendiante, au look "Zezette" fait son apparition pour quémander quelques petites piecette "-Bah quoi si faut danser pour avoir de l'argent moi aussi j'peux le faire". On est bien loins du Glamour et des paillettes mais le public semble bien apprécier cette effeuillage et cet accoutrement quelque peu inhabituel. La mendiante effeuilleuse de la soirée obtient donc la place de Seconde Dauphine du concours.
Then, As usual Juliette Dragon, came on stage to introduce the next contestant, when suddenly a homeless woman appeared near the stage to ask for money. "- I too can dance on stage for the money, if I have to!!!" We were far from all the glamour and the glittering world of Burlesque, but the audience loved her weird & unusual outfit. At the end of the contest she was Third.

Tout le monde c'est ensuite dirigé au Las Vegas de la Bellevilloise, pour profiter des Bars, de la chapelle, du DJ, et autres attractions que la morale réprouve, puisque comme pour Végas, ce qui se passe à la Bellevilloise reste à la Belleviloise... Une bonne façon de terminée la soirée.
After the show everyone went to the Vegas Boulevard of La Bellevilloise, to enjoy the music, the pubs, the wedding chapel, and others gambling table. Everything that the morals reprobate, but as we know what happens in Vegas stay in Vegas, it's the same for La Bellevilloise. A nice way to end the evening.
