Pop maven Cyndi Lauper wowed a sold-out crowd at the Orange Peel on Sunday, Nov. 28. Rich Orris was there and caught her, along with the fantastic openers The Ferocious Few.
Check out the rest of Orris’ photos for Xpress here.

Maven? Lets not get crazy here…
Beware goyim, or non New Yorkers, using Yiddish.
So, bubula, while you’re kvetching about the shiksa’s use of maven, maybe you could enlighten the rest of the goyim about its proper meaning, nu? Where is Steve Samuels when you need him.
Di greste narishkayt fun a nar iz az er meynt az er is klug.
This yenta and shegetz is farmisht.
However, der vos farshteyt zayn narishkayt iz a kluger mensch
Vay iz mir, how can a yenta also be a shaygetz? Who’s the yenta? Who’s the shaygetz, boychik?
Dear Bupkis,
Gai kukken afen yam!
Oy vey, Bupkis. First of all, I said I was farmisht. Secondly, a shegetz can be a yenta. (You’re the one that’s fartumit about that.) And thirdly, I think you’re verging on insulting the transgender community, pisher.
