I adored Waxie Moon the minute I met him. He is one of the people, along with Indigo Blue and Paula the Swedish Housewife, who makes Seattle feel like my home away from home. And he's in the news!

"[W]ith the encouragement of a New York friend and burlesque star named Dirty Martini, [he] took a burlesque class as a way to relax. He was the only man in the class and says he felt nervous, like he was intruding. But he was—as you'd expect from a Juilliard graduate—excellent."

The article uses the word "monster," maybe in reference to
Monster Beauty, which Dr. Lukki
applies so beautifully to neo-burlesque. If Waxie is a monster, I love monsters an awful, awful lot.
