15 thoughts on The Empire Strips Back: A Burlesque Parody

The Empire Strips Back: A Burlesque Parody is a burlesque Star Wars parody that I saw with a couple of friends.

  1. Overall, I had a good time
  2. There was a bit too much male gaze/jokes for me at times
  3. The host's bits were too long
  4. I didn't love that they used a Biggie song for Jabba the Hutt (and kept the n word in it)
  5. My favorite act was probably "Wrecking Ball" with naked Emperor Palpatine
  6. My second favorite was the very first with the tauntaun
  7. There should've been more male acts
  8. I had the most fun with acts where I knew the song
  9. The act referred to as "The Twins" was one of my least favorites (probably because it was a slow number)
  10. I think I was often taken out of the moment because I chose a seat so far back
  11. I did not like it when the lights shone directly in my eyes
  12. I wish the bars sold snacks
  13. Sometimes, I didn't think the music super fit the act
  14. It made me want to learn to dance better but also activated some body image issues
  15. There was an impressive age range within the audience

I'm angry

I'm angry. And I don't (at the moment) want to be talked out of it. I struggle, often, with expressing or even just sitting with my emotions. I feel like even the photo I chose for this post was more reserved or toned down than how I feel.  But, this is my trying. I'm not going to time this post, just going to write until I feel done, whenever that may be. In this post, I'm going to focus on the anger I feel around my dad and my dad's death. Though, don't get me wrong, I'm also angry about a lot of things going on in my city, in my country, and in the world. My dad chose alcohol over me and my brother. There is no way around this fact. Yes, when I am less angry, I can be more reasonabl and recognize that addiction is a disesase and he didn't have control over it. But, right now, I want to be angry. I want to get to be angry. I want to get to feel my feelings. I don't want to rationalize, I don't want to be reasonable, I don't want to be fair....
