Propaganda

Josephine Baker (The Siren of the Tropics, ZouZou)— Josephine Baker was an American born actress, singer, and utter icon of the period, creating the 1920s banana skirt look. She was the first black woman to star in a major motion film. She fought in the French resistance in WWII, given a Legion of Honour, as well as refusing to perform in segregated theatres in the US. She was bisexual, a fighter, and overall an absolutely incredible woman as well as being extremely attractive.

Joan Crawford (Dancing Lady, Mildred Pierce, The Women)— God, where do I start!!! Her face is so UNIQUE and compelling and stands out so much. I love her thick brows and high cheekbones. She has a school-marmy hardness too her that makes her a little scary and therefore sexy. Her low thick voice also does it for me. Despite being an unusual looking woman with an unusual face, she never loses her glamour. Just a gorgeous talented actress, AND she was some sort of gay!!!

This is round 5 of the tournament. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.

[additional propaganda submitted under the cut. the famous banana skirt is mildly NSFW.]

Josephine Baker:

Black, American-born, French dancer and singer. Phenomenal sensation, took music-halls by storm. Famous in the silent film era.

Let's talk La Revue Negre, Shuffle Along. The iconique banana outfit? But also getting a Croix de Guerre and full military honors at burial in Paris due to working with the Resistance.

She exuded sex, was a beautiful dancer, vivacious, and her silliness and humor added to her attractiveness. She looked just as good in drag too.

So I know she was more famous for other stuff than movies and her movies weren’t Hollywood but my first exposure to her was in her films so I’ve always thought of her as a film actress first and foremost. Also she was the first black woman to star in a major motion picture so I think that warrants an entry

Iconic! Just look up anything about her life. She was a fascinating woman.

Joan Crawford:

I just love women that are very mean.

she was a smoke show in every decade, from the 20s to the 60s.

The classic matronly beauty with amazing eyebrows

of course there's a space for MILF joan but i want to just take a second and say she was so cute in her early movies (like grand hotel and the women)! those parts often get forgotten but her stardom shines in them just as much as in her older #queen #icon roles

Misremembered for wire hanger hatred, this original screen queen mastered the art of the comeback and refused to let Hollywood toss her aside as she aged. The term “auteur” is usually revered for directors or writer-directors, but most critics have one actor they’ll give that title to as well: Crawford—anyone who knows classic movies already has a “Crawford picture” in their head. She knew how to style herself and promote herself. She made herself a star and kept herself fixated in the Hollywood firmament. What’s hotter than knowing just how hot you are?

(don’t think about Mommie Dearest right now) Joan was known for being super nice to all the like crew of the movies she worked on and she’d get everyone gifts. Joan would hold movie nights at her house and knit at the back of her home theater. Joan was sooo obsessed with other women including Greta Garbo, whos dressing room she would obsessively and purposefully walk by. She said that while working on Grand Hotel, Garbo grabbed her face and “if there ever was a time in my life where I would’ve been a lesbian, that was it.” But like Joan also probably did sleep with women including Barbara Stanwyck. Joan was so obsessed with Bette Davis, screening multiple movies of hers in a day at her watch party, constantly trying to spend time with her or do a movie together, insisting on the dressing room next to hers at Warners and sending her daily gifts… etc. Once Bette said that sex was gods joke to humanity and Joan said “I think the joke is on her.” Joan fucked a lot. Joan got caught publicly fucking a man and sent a letter to the woman who saw them basically saying “I bet it excited you” and the woman was like you know what. It did. Joan was best friends with a gay man. Joan was an actually genuinely good actress even though people mocked her a lot for being like cheap and stupid (partially because she never finished school because her family was broke). Joan was so insane and so cool that’s all.

Boz Scaggs Turns 80

Though he’s best known for Silk Degrees and “Lido Shuffle,” Boz Scaggs’ musical history is much more - and much more interesting - than that.

As Scaggs turns 80 today, June 8, 2024, Sound Bites offers this brief sketch of the dude who’s worked with some of the all-timers and sings like the world’s smoothest Muppet.

Scaggs was a founding member of the Steve Miller Band, contributing guitar and vocals to 1968’s Children of the Future and Sailor before leaving for a solo career. His 1969 self-titled LP features Duane Allman on slide guitar and spawned the modern blues standard “Loan Me a Dime.”

He briefly joined Mother Earth for 1969’s Make a Joyful Noise before dedicating himself to solo work, which peaked commercially with 1976’s Silk Degrees, and whose band, hand-picked by Scaggs, became Toto.

“I’m not sure if Toto would have happened as soon, or quite the same way, without Silk Degrees,” David Paich once said.

Scaggs has kept up a low-key solo career ever since, breaking briefly to tour with Donald Fagen’s New York Rock and Soul Revue and releasing six 21st-century albums, most recently 2018’s Out of the Blues, which features a killer rendering of Neil Young’s “On the Beach.”

Don’t be fooled by the disco-leaning hits. Scaggs is an important player in the history of modern rock and blues and that - along with hitting the milestone of 80 - is worth celebrating.

Revus Demnevanni/Vestige - The Exploration of Veyond

(This is my first attempt at writing anything like this)

THERE IS SMUT AHEAD - MINORS DNI

Rowan remembered Revus well, he was strange but also an interesting person. One of the few in Vvardenfell that hadn't treated her with contempt from the very start, being a dunmer from the Imperial City they had not enjoyed her lack of knowledge with Dunmeri Culture.

Rowan Riddle tried to learn more, but the constant hate for Khajiit and Argonians angered her to no end. Without Razara-Do taking in kids who lived on the streets when she was a cub, Rowan wouldn't had made it to adulthood.

Revus was from House Telvanni. Usually she could not stand anyone from that house, he was an anomaly though. A good anomaly in a sea of hatred and arrogance that the Telvanni are.

So running into him in Blackwood had been refreshing, especially considering Eveli was still angry that Rowan used to be a member of the Dark Brotherhood. Which she understood, Rowan had quite that line of work a long time ago. Yet, the blood would never wash from her hands.

So seeing Revus helped her move on from those thoughts that plagued her no matter what. He had always been slightly awkward, and a little clumsy, but she would never hold that against him. Rowan wanted to introduce him to Kireth and her Raynor, she had a feeling they'd get along.

Tirus, his apprentice was an asshole. There was no way around that, he was rude and stuck up.

Rowan detested how he treated Revus, something she voiced early on.

"You know, if being a stuck up asshole is a requirement for rising in the Telvanni ranks then you certainly have that in spades." Rowan's voice was calm, and she smiled while saying it to Tirus. He openly gaped for a moment before attempting to respond. 

"Of course uneducated fools would use such course and idiotic insults." Rowan could only laugh at him, which seemed to irritate him more.

"Uneducated? I have worked with your House before," her smirk turned downright predatory. "Most of them only have their arrogance and their petty politics. If defeating both Molag Bal and Nocturnal wasn't difficult, your little Magisters aren't even worth my time really." Revus's eyes slightly widened, and she had realized she had never told him who she really was. He knew her first name, but that wasn't much to go on.

"You are the Vestige. Hmph, it doesn't matter. I will meet you in Veyond." Tirus stomped off like a scolded child, which was amusing if she were honest.

Turning back to Revus she noticed him analyzing her more, which slightly unnerved her. He was a brilliant mage, and very intelligent. This talk seemed to come up more and more in her interactions, Rowan had never enjoyed having attention on her though, so it was uncomfortable almost every time.

Growing up, any attention was bad. Revus spoke before she could say much though.

"Rowan the Vestige, Hero of Tamriel, and Champion of Coldharbour." His voice was almost removed and it gave her anxiety. She considered him a friend after all.

"Oh, uh yeah. I guess that's what people say. If it's all the same to you though, I much prefer my actual name." Her tone was almost pleading, which had Revus snapping back to attention once more. The soft smile on his face was new.

"You do know that Tirus is watching me, I'm not sure if he'll appreciate being talked to like that." His voice was anxious once more.

"Well, he should know not to be so disrespectful to people if he's supposedly as smart as you claim. Not even Divayth Fyr is that arrogant, Tirus acts like a spoiled child. Which, I'm sure the Telvanni Council won't enjoy much of. I'm doing them all a favor really." Rown crossed her arms before continuing. "Plus, he was was talking down to you. Something you do not deserve, in fact he should he happy you're giving him the time of day. I definitely would not if I were in your position." Her eyes shot back over to Revus, and he seemed to be in deep thought once more. And watching her carefully, she swallowed and shuffled a bit. Attention was odd to her.

"It was not really my choice," He looked towards the ruin before back to her, features softening a bit. "He needed this formality over, and the Council always seems to need a reason to exile me. It's tiring at times." For a split second the anxiousness bled away to exhaustion. Rowan stepped slightly closer, but did not want to alarm Revus.

"Is their approval really that nessasary?" He seemed to want to say something, but she wasn't done speaking. "You're a brilliant mage in your own right, so why do they want to cause problems for you?" Her voice grew hard once more, "they haven't harmed you have they?" The question was spoken with a hint of anger, Revus's eyes widened once more.

"No! No. Don't worry, nothing like that." He shook his head. "But they don't like my actual interests, Dwarven tonal architecture, interesting eggs; they don't see a use for it." Revus seemed sad, and a little irritated.

"Well then they're obviously blind aren't they. Anything concerning the dwarves would ultimately help society advance, and eggs really have a plethora of uses. But we should head in before Tirus throws another fit." Revus seemed to smile at that, and Rowan was grateful to make him a bit happier. She wasn't sure why helping Revus specifically had always been something she'd look forward to. And if she were honest with herself it was not a thought process she stayed on too long, a dangerous line of thought that.

Throughout the ruin, after Tirus disappeared, Revus was temperamental. Which was understandable, but him insulting himself was irritating her. Why couldn't he see that he was amazing? He was respectful, intelligent, kind, everything that the rest of that so called House should strive for. Not that she said that out loud. Rowan wasn't one to be impulsive with her private thoughts. She would simply have to show him by helping to save Tirus.

They did eventually, and Tirus was overly thankful. Something bothered Rowan though, he said no one had ever looked out for him. That was a sad reality to live in.

Once they finally got out of that blasted Alyied ruin, the moon was shining bright in the sky. Tirus had said he needed rest heading to a tent, he must have been exhausted from being ripped from his corporeal form for so long.

It was just Rowan and Revus, the butterflies in her gut and nervousness was completely normal. At least that's what she tried to tell herself.

"Well, that worked out far better than I could have hoped for! Here I was accepting my fate of exile, but Tirus seems to actually want to put in a good word for me! I am thankful," he turned towards the fire, sitting on a log. He padded the spot next to him. And Rowan slowly sat down. "I am especially grateful for you Rowan, once more you help me clean up a mess that could've gone extremely wrong." His laugh was self depreciating, and Rowan couldn't accept it.

"I will always be willing to help you Revus, you are one of the few friends I really have. But you would have figured something out eventually, like I said earlier you're brilliant." Her voice was gentle, the cold wrapping around her. Blackwood was cold at night and she had never enjoyed it. Subconsciously moving closer to the fire and Revus, she put her hands out to warm them by the flames.

It took a second for Revus to reply, clearing his throat before looking at her directly.

"I am glad we are friends Rowan, few people have treated me with the kindness you always seem to." His voice was strange again, here but not here at the same time. Rowan turned, only realizing how close they really were when their eyes met. Attention was not...always bad she would admit. But the intensity he was looking at her with was slightly startling. She had to look back towards the flames once more before replying. She could feel her heart pounding in her ears.

Oh.

Oh no.

Thats why.

"You deserve kindness Revus, every living being does. No matter what. Those Telvanni Magisters should take a page or two from your book." She tried to laugh it off, but her voice was a pitch higher than usual. Revus seemed to catch onto that fairly quickly, his observational skills seeming to hone in on her like an arrow. It made her anxious, but in a good way.

"Are your hands still cold? Let me see them, a spell would work better than a campfire," His hesitation was evident, along with the slight redness blossoming across his face, "If you're, uhm, comfortable with that." Revus almost started rambling, and while she often found that cute, Rowan knew right now was not the time to let him. So, she reached out towards him and gently held his hands. The feeling was calm, and relaxing. Rowan almost felt like she could ignore everything else, even just for a short amount of time. Revus smiled as he closed his eyes, Magicka coursing through him, and centering on his hands.

Her hands warmed up quickly, and the spell slowly died out. She squeezed his hands slightly, neither letting go. Neither really ready to let go.

"That is definitly a good spell to know." Rowan couldn't tell you why she felt the need to whisper. Perhaps she felt as though anything louder would break the moment. Break whatever this was, and she didn't want to. The realization did not startle her, it simply made sense.

Revus looked her in the eyes as he replied.

"It is one of the first spells that I learned. Warmth is a necessity is it not? Everyone needs it, at least once in a while." His eyes shot down to her lips, quickly meeting her eyes once more. He was just as anxious as she was.

It was that one thought that had her doing something she rarely did. Rown smiled, leaned forward a little. When it was clear he wasn't backing away she moved quickly. Her lips meant his in the middle, he was hesitant at first but Rowan only kept kissing him. There was almost a switch it seemed in dear, sweet Revus.

He devoured her, leaning further. His height evident, she had always been short for a dunmer.

His tongue seemed to test the waters, flicking out to her lips.

Rowan responded in earnest, quickly pulling him closer.

Her moan startled her, but it was swallowed by Revus completely. Her heart was pounding once more, she wanted him as close as possible. Closer than they were.

When she moved back for air, they both were panting heavily. Her arms wrapped around his shoulder, his arms trying to pull her closer.

"Revus..." Her voice was breathy, quiet, but filled with want. When their eyes locked she noticed his pupils were blown wide, she knew hers were too.

"Rowan...." He moaned her name, still wanting to pull her closer. The man had never seemed like he was impulsive, but the thought quickly left her as he leaned towards her neck. Kissing, sucking, exploring.

He found a spot that worked wonders for her, the moan that escaped her was not a sound she had heard from herself before. Revus was smirking, she felt it. His mouth trailing up to her ear, a shiver ran down her spine. His voice was deeper than she had ever heard it.

"Hmm, sensitive are we? Perhaps we should take this somewhere more private." He slowed down once more, backing up slightly to make eye contact with her. "That is, if you want to Rowan?" He was anxious once more, the question hanging in the air. Not that she needed much convincing.

"Gods yes." Revus smiled before scooping her up fairly easy. Without the weight of her armor and weapons she was lighter than normal. Still the sudden movement caught her off guard. A small squeal left her throat, Revus only laughing slightly.

"Rowan, Rowan, I may be a mage but trust me physical strength is not something I lack." The double entandre did not escape her, a blush blossoming across her nose and cheeks.

His tent was right behind them, laying her down on the soft bed that occupied it. She supposed conjuring a bed wasn't difficult. He joined her once more.

"Has anyone ever told you that you're cute when you blush?" The question caught her off guard once more.

"N-no!" Her voice spiked as Revus continued his ministrations on her neck. Hands wondered, everywhere. It was something she had not experienced before.

"Well they should have," his mouth was by her ear once more, another sensitive spot. Her moans were breathy, his hand wondered to her waist, while his other grabbed one of her hands as well. He was so gentle, so loving. It knocked the wind out of her.

"R-Revus, before-" a sharp moan left her throat, his mouth was doing wonders. Though he paused and looked at her. His voice gentle and calming.

"Yes love?" The term of endearment made her blush once more, which seemed to be his purpose because the smile he had was a knowing one.

"I am not sure if you'll be okay with this," she was stumbling over her words, nervousness encroaching. He seemed worried.

"Its okay, take your time Rowan."

"I've never done this before." Her voice was quiet, almost ashamed. She wasn't sure why. Revus reached over and gently stroked her cheek, his smile calmed her down a bit.

"Do not worry sweet Rowan, I will be gentle. You are meant to be treaured, and cared for. This is your first time, then I will make sure you are taken care of with the utmost attention." He spoke softly, once more, his teeth scraping against her throat causing her to moan, louder than before.

He slowly helped her remove her shirt, his following quickly after.

The hunger in his kiss scorched her entire body. Lighting it aflame until all that remained was the desire to be closer.

Closer and closer, Rowan had never been overwhelmed with such a feeling.

She absolutely loved it, every minute of it.

Her hands scraped down his back, pulling him closer. His moans were music to her ears. Deep. Demanding. Wanting.

She would give gim anything if he asked for it, and that realization did not trouble her as much as it should have.

"Rowan, you are beautiful. Every inch of you deserves worship." His mouth and tongue ran across her stomach. Marking her anywhere he could. One hand grabbed hers, holding tight. The other slowly moved down. Teasing, closing in on where she wanted him. Only for him to hold her inner thighs, or her waist. It was infuriating, and her slight huff brought a laugh out if him. He made his way back up to her ear, bite marks everywhere, kissing her neck. Whispering her praises.

"What do you wish for, sweet Rowan. Name it, and it's yours." His voice was heavenly, calming, and deep. A far cry from his usual anxiousness. Rowan would never forget the sound of it. Her mind was foggy, lost in a haze of pleasure, but she doubted he'd continue if she didn't oblige...

"R-Revus..." her voice was light, breathing taking precedent. She practically moaned his name. Which stirred him on more. A low moan left him, he was clearly holding back.

"Yes, love?" He echoed his sentiment from before, the want far clearer now. Both of them needed the other, and soon.

"Please, please pleasure me..." it seemed those few words were all he needed. He cupped her womanhood through her pants, soaked already no doubt. Her moan echoed and she was sure they'd be scolded once the morning came.

"So wet sweet Rowan, and all for me? I'm honored love." He voiced his thoughts as his arms tugged on her waist band, quickly removing her pants. Before he continued, Rowan reached up, quickly untying his and yanking them down.

Fully undressed except their small clothes, Rowan's eyes traced over every detail she could lay her eyes on. He was far more muscular than his clothes would lead you to believe, her hands raced around his torso, groans leaving him as she did. She pulled him down, in a forceful kiss. Devouring one another completely, their hips meeting one another's in a dance.

Rowan wanted him, all to herself. A sentiment he seemed to mirror as he yanked her underclothes off, her hands pulled his down. And she was entranced with what she saw, straight to attention it seemed.

Revus caught her staring and only smiled before pushing her back down, his mouth sucking one breast while his hand played with the other. Her sharp moans and cries flooded the area, pulling his head as close as possible.

"Ah....Rowan..." She felt the vibrations of his voice, only adding to the pleasure.

"Revus," another moan quickly swallowing her voice, "please...." her voice was strained, her gut felt as though she would burst any moment.

As Revus continued sucking on anywhere he could, one hand grabbed hers and held it tightly. The other made its way to her folds, rubbing, up and down. Slightly pushing in, before his finger found itself within her. Curling, moving in and out.

"Revus!!" She loudly moaned his name, "Don't stop, please don't stop.."

"Don't worry Rowan I intend to pleasure you for as long as possible." He groaned against her throat as another finger was added, her moans leaving her constantly, his figures curling, a slow and steady pace.

Then he hit a spot that made her see starts. Her back arched, pushing herself against him, she needed to be as close as possible. He smiled and once more licked her ear, sensitive as it was.

"There it is..." Rowan didn't have the time to ask before a third finger made its way into her folds, repeatedly hitting that spot. She couldn't get enough. The pleasure was almost too much, and building more and more. Until there was a sharp release as she cried out his name, as loud as she could. His breathe stuttered as he continued to kiss her neck moving up to meet her lips once more.

"You are magnificent Rowan." She loved his voice, she loved that she could pull his hair while he let out a sharp moan.

"I need you, right now Revus." Her tone was far stronger than she felt. His eyes meant hers as his fingers slowly left her, another moan leaving her throat.

He kept eye contact as he brought his figures up to his face, and did something she did not expect. Revus slowly licked her off of his fingers, the sight making her groan. A now familiar feeling building up once more.

"Do not worry Rowan, I plan on taking you tonight. And making sure your first is one you won't forget." His voice was kind, and dark, deep, and all Rowan could do was moan..

"Please Revus..." he moved back, pulling her towards him, he kissed her hard. It was a demanding kiss as he slowly but surely entered her. Pain mixed with pleasure, the feeling was strange but far from unwanted. When he was fully sheathed within her, he paused. Kissing, sucking, marking, distracting her as she grew used to him inside of her. His kindness showing through even though Rowan could tell he was holding back.

As the pain disappeared and was replaced with pleasure she moved her hips against his, a moan leaving him quickly. Her own voice echoing his. He took that as a sign to move, he moved back almost completely removed before slamming back into her. Hard.

Her voice broke as she moaned, the pleasure something she had never felt before.

He changed his angle slightly before slamming back into her, hitting the same spot from earlier. Making her cry out his name, moans leaving her, his voice mixing with her own as he sped up. Hard thrusts, quick thrusts, had her lost in the pleasure. Rowan felt as though she was flying, high in the sky.

Revus gripped her waist with one hand, while his other squeezed her hand tighter, her own squeezing his as they were making their way towards a climax. The haze had them both moaning and yelling out eachother's names.

As the pressure built up once more, Revus leaned down and kissed her once again. Exploring her mouth with his tongue, pounding into her; Rowan wanted him closer still. The pressure built up and exploded once more, she saw stars. Her release spreading through her.

"Revus!" His name rolled off her tongue, arching her body towards him, set him off.

"Rowan!!" She felt him release into her, a few more thrusts before he slowed down had her moaning because of over stimulation.

They both caught their breather as they came down from their high, smiling like love struck fools. Nothing could bring their moods down.

Revus kissed her once more as he slowly pulled himself out, a flick of his hand and their mess was cleaned up. An amazing mage indeed. He laid down beside her, pulling her closer to him. Rowan thought he was beautiful, hair messed up, pleasure written on his face, the afterglow suited him.

"You're beautiful Revus." There was wonder in her voice, a gentle tone. He smiled at her once more, blush spreading across his nose.

"As are you sweet Rowan. But tell me, have you enjoyed yourself?" The genuine question made her smile, dark red blush crossed her cheeks.

"Oh yes, very much so Revus." She leaned in and kissed him once more, slow and thoughtful. A kiss that had more emotion in it than any others before it. They both sighed happily as they dozed off.

The morning would come, and reality crashing back down with it. But for now Rowan felt safe, she felt loved. A feeling she did not know well, but hoped to explore much more with Revus in the near future.

"Goodnight love." His voice was quiet, dozing off into sleep.

"Goodnight Revus." She smiled before sleep overtook her

Propaganda

Josephine Baker (The Siren of the Tropics, ZouZou)— Josephine Baker was an American born actress, singer, and utter icon of the period, creating the 1920s banana skirt look. She was the first black woman to star in a major motion film. She fought in the French resistance in WWII, given a Legion of Honour, as well as refusing to perform in segregated theatres in the US. She was bisexual, a fighter, and overall an absolutely incredible woman as well as being extremely attractive.

Olga Baclanova (The Man Who Laughs, Freaks, The Docks of New York)—no propaganda submitted

This is round 1 of the tournament. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.

[additional propaganda submitted under the cut. The famous banana skirt is mildly NSFW and may make some people uncomfortable, but is included here for its historical significance.]

Josephine Baker:

Black, American-born, French dancer and singer. Phenomenal sensation, took music-halls by storm. Famous in the silent film era.

Let's talk La Revue Negre, Shuffle Along. The iconique banana outfit? But also getting a Croix de Guerre and full military honors at burial in Paris due to working with the Resistance.

She exuded sex, was a beautiful dancer, vivacious, and her silliness and humor added to her attractiveness. She looked just as good in drag too.

So I know she was more famous for other stuff than movies and her movies weren’t Hollywood but my first exposure to her was in her films so I’ve always thought of her as a film actress first and foremost. Also she was the first black woman to star in a major motion picture so I think that warrants an entry

Iconic! Just look up anything about her life. She was a fascinating woman.

Olga Baclanova:

Thank you for tagging me @corrode-in-repose this is fun!!

Rules: You can usually tell a lot about a person by the type of music they listen to. Put your playlist on shuffle and List the first 10 songs, and then tag 10 people. No skipping!

Well, that is, in fact, as much of a mess as the folder I put on Shuffle is! The only one that I haven't listened to more than once in the last two months is Spent the Day in Bed, and I'm mildly embarrassed by this.

New Revue events announced!

Today at the end of the last performance of #4 Climax, the cast of Revue Starlight announced two new upcoming events. The first is that a new stage project will take place, for now simply called "Shoujo ☆ Kageki Revue Starlight -The LIVE-".

It's currently unclear if this will be a #5 (aka a continuation of the main storyline), or if it will feature Kukugumi at all, or when and where it will take place. Lots of unknowns, but the announcement picture clearly shows Kukugumi's colors and Karen's silhouette, so we shall see! Further information will follow.

Secondly, finally, after 3 years of cancellation/unknown delays, Starry Session will finally be performed live as a Starry Session Revival!

Starry Session was originally going to be performed on April 11th 2020 but cancelled/delayed indefinitely due to the pandemic. It was supposed to be a "shuffle" live with a live band, aka the cast performing various songs of the franchise but sung by different characters. The songs were newly distributed to the cast members by lottery draft. After the cancellation of the event, studio recordings of the shuffled songs were released alongside the Revue Starlight Best Of Album, but they have yet to be performed live. (If you haven't heard of it, here's a setlist of the shuffled songs!) Just like the original event, the revival will be a band live. It will be a two-day event taking place at Makuhari Messe on November 4th-5th 2023. Whether or not they will play the exact same songs as the original run was planning to or if there will be a new draft... who knows. It will likely be the original setlist, but I'm still hoping for some new songs! (with the 6 year anniversary of the franchise coming up, by God let Maho sing Love's Wicked Pitch!!!!!!!)

Finally, there'll be another Revue Youtube stream on March 6th looking back at #4 Climax and everything else Starlight related. It will feature regular hosts Tomita Maho (Maya) and Iwata Haruki (Mahiru) with guests Koyama Momoyo (Karen) and Ikuta Teru (Futaba).

From the The New Yorker, June 22, 1935:

A la Belle Étoile

WE went up to Central Park last Tuesday night, to see the dancing on the Mall. Just as we had expected, it turned out to be a fine, cheerful occasion, not in the least like that gloomy little number in the Theatre Guild's revue which shows tenement girls dancing with despair in their hearts. The orchestra was tuning up when we arrived: twenty-five work-relief musicians, stripped to their shirts and ready for action. The tentative squeaks and moans of their instruments had kept the starlings awake past their bedtime; you could hear restless chirps and flutterings in the trees. The benches surrounding the cement dance floor were filled with girls who hadn't any boys, boys who hadn't any girls, men who would probably sleep in the Park that night, and elderly folk who had, like us, come to see the fun. The dance floor was sprinkled with powdered wax, and was unoccupied except by Park employees and playground instructresses, who were to act as chaperons. The rules they had to enforce were simple and few: persons of the same sex were not to dance together; the boys had to wear coats, and couldn't wear hats; no cutting in; no smoking; no dancing in one place.

At eight-thirty the music started. First number was "It's An Old Southern Custom." The boys played it with lots of oompah—all during the evening, in fact, they seemed to lean to wholesome rhythm rather than seductiveness. It was evident from the start that the rule against dancing in one spot was superfluous. The first on the concrete, a tall youth in pimples and horn-rimmed glasses, and his chubby little doxy, covered about thirty feet in their first two seconds. In general, we found the dancing incredibly complicated; we'd watch a couple until they were out of sight in the crowd, and they wouldn't repeat a step. It implied hours and hours of rehearsal, and people no more thought of changing partners than acrobats would think of changing partners. There was tapping; there was stomping; there were twirls, dips, glides, and deep knee bends; there were interludes during which partners separated, strolled in opposite directions, then turned and fled again to one another's arms. It made us feel tired to watch the dancers couple—tired, and a little old.

Several whimsical couples in evening dress showed up, took a turn on the waxed concrete, and went back to their waiting cars. We can't be sure about it until we hear from Lucius Beebe, but we're afraid it's Being Done. We resented these intruders fiercely, and so did all the other people to whom the Mall belongs. But to the really simple and pure in heart (which takes in all our readers) we recommend at least one trip up to the Mall this summer. If you don't want to dance, you can close your eyes and listen to the sound —sweeter than anything, sadder than anything which is a blend of work—relief dance music, leather shuffling on concrete, and thousands of very young people singing as they waltz.
