Smart Bets: Black Garter Revue

While happy couples gallivant around Asheville on Thursday, Feb. 14, celebrating their love as mandated by Hallmark and related entities, local burlesque troupe Black Garter Revue will be at The Grey Eagle offering an alternative way to spend the holiday. Infidelity: An Anti-Valentine’s Tribute caters to those dealing with heartbreak and pain who want no part of traditional Cupid-sponsored shenanigans. The show features a variety of burlesque styles and dancers, including Seraphina Syren (pictured), Orange Crush, Roxie Rose LeMoan, Gwen Sidious and Nixxxy Darling. The evening starts at 9 p.m., is hosted by Donno and “Stage Kittened” by Lady Disdoriient. Each $15 ticket comes with a gift. thegreyeagle.com. Photo courtesy of Black Garter Revue
