Madame Mireille's ocean-side parlour, Les Trois Dames Jouissantes, is one of the last houses holding to the tenets of classic burlesque. They specialize in raunchy comedy sketches, undulating fan dances, chorus lines and, of course, the striptease. In post-war Maritimes, Madameâs burlesque house enjoys notoriety thanks to an all-female cast combining the smart with the sensual.
It was this reputation that attracted the troupe's two newest members. Ginger, the saucy redhead, has been around the block a few times. She might come on strong, but sheâs a master of the comedy striptease. Orchid is young, new to the stage, and embodies all that is innocentâor so she'd have you believe!
Secrets abound behind the scenes, and itâll take more than slippery fingers to bring them to the surface.
Historical lesbian romance with an erotic edge.Â
