So here is an amusing anecdote for you. Swellco & Swellco’s dear sweet Louise LaTease isn’t really named Louise LaTease. It’s a stage name. No really, it is. She was contemplating changing her stage name, which isn’t an easy endeavor for her since she is the most hyperactive ADD spaz to walk the planet. (I often liken the effort of keeping her on task to herding a chicken.) After a month of a constant frenzied brainstorming she came up with the name Megan Massacre. She was ecstatic. Megan Massacre is perfect for the Video Circus. She proclaimed.

Two days later she was devastated/obsessed. There was another Megan Massacre, she was also from Philly and she was a gorgeous tattooed model. For weeks she would bring this girl up. “Robert, you have to see her. She is so beautiful.” “Robert, you have to contact her to be in the videos.” I don’t know why but I resisted the urge to look up this supposed super goddess and I told Louise to contact the girl for us if she had such a crush. This brought on another flurry of Louise indecision. “What do I say?” “How do I approach her?” “Maybe I should go get a tattoo from her” (Megan Massacre is also a tattoo artist) But the dreaded hyperactive ADD led to no action. Finally today I looked up this Megan Massacre…

Oh shit. I pride myself on having some sense of who’s who and what’s what. But here was a true lord of the underground right under my nose. Megan Massacre is everything Louise said she is. A drop dead model and highly talented tattoo artist who’s been on the cover of just about every tattoo magazine in the world, right here under our nose. Louise was right, Megan Massacre IS perfect for the Video Circus and we’re going to be contacting her very very soon.

When Swellco & Swellco hyped the already legendary Anti-bestiality Educational Awareness Charity Mixer as an evening of barely contained mayhem, no one realized just how out of hand things would get. It’s our stance that art is meant to be dangerous. So when a few bar brawls broke out amongst guests and some of the evenings talent got tossed out for drinking too much, well that’s just par for course. No one was really hurt, right? Sadly that wasn’t the case. One of the video circus performers became the target of a brutal hate crime during the course of an evening that was meant to be about learning and enlightenment.

After finishing their set, Mr. Deadguy and Baby Cheezwits momentarily retired to Bob & Barbara’s luxurious green room. Upon returning to the stage they discovered that Baby Cheezwits stand had been smashed into small pieces and the phrase “All dead baby puppets must suck a shit” was scrawled on his case. Baby Cheezwits flew into hysterics and has fled into hiding. Only his partner Mr. Deadguy is aware of where he is buried.

Being that Baby Cheezwits is an inanimate object, medical procedures and psychotropic drugs are not effective and it is completely unclear if and when his severe state of psychotic agoraphobia triggered by this hanus act of puppet persecution will ever subside.

On May 4th 2010 Swellco & Swellco will be holding a candle light vigil and hip hop dance party to lend emotional support for the little guy. A rich gala of local talent will be giving speeches and lending words of support. Swellco & Swellco’s go go girls, The Sock Puppet Dancers will be shaking their booties and a gift basket including an old shoe full of Dirty Diamond’s used condoms and a jug of Swellco & Swellco Corporate Ritual Wolfs Pee will be raffled off at the end of the night.

So come rub elbows with Philadelphia’s performing elite as they take the mic to share their favorite Baby Cheeswitts stories and wish the little guy well, set stuff on fire and enjoy some dope lyrics AND dope beats.

Full guest list of special speakers, additional raffle prizes and other details to be posted soon.

On-the-job bonding occurs when groups of managers come together to learn new skills. Everyone has something to learn, and your managers will come away knowing that they now have something to offer the company and their employees that they didn’t have before the training.

Live seminars can also provide a role model for new managers to emulate. Nationally recognized speakers are successful at what they do, and new managers learning tips and modeling some of their work after the speaker can help both fledgling and experienced managers reach new levels of achievement at work.

On March 9th, Swellco & Swellco publicly announced the presence of the Video Circus by reaching out into the community and showing that even cold corporate funded mind control projects can have a heart and make a difference in the community they prey upon.

The Anti-Bestiality Community Educational Outreach Charity Mixer and Heavy Metal Dance party as a whole was a raging success. The bar swelled past capacity with a line stretching down the street.

Dj Metal GR/EG did an outstanding job spinning great metal. As an additional bonus, for some inexplicable reason he also choose to flex his Galleger look alike talents arriving complete with giant hammer. (The Bob & Barbara’s staff took his melon at the door)

A bunny suit adorned Uncle Wheat Toast and Bunny Fox Brown engaged the crowd with anti-bestiality fact sheets and horror stories of bestiality culled from today’s headlines.

The Performances were outstanding. After a heart felt introduction to the evening by Louise L’tease, Miss Key and Uncle Wheat Toast, the madness began.

Needles Jones told a touching story about how he found his first boy crush engaged in intercourse with a goat and then jumped into a three song set including the crowd chanting favorite “Pig Fucker” and his new song “Bestiality, don’t do it” written specifically for the event.

Miss Key came out in a (faux) fur dress and took it all off, only after partially consuming a real cow heart.

Mr. Dead guy brought out Baby Cheesewitts, the corpse baby who also dressed in a bunny suit and they talked to the crowd about where the line should be drawn with pet affections before breaking into song.

Next Miss Rose literally burst onto the stage as a feather adorned voodoo princess and gnawed on chicken.

Louise L’Tease literally shocked the crowd into silence when she did what might be the first ever fury strip tease as she slowly disrobed out of a full bunny suit only to reveal a bikini made of stuffed animals.

Last but not least the extra filthy, extra drunk Dirty Diamond came on stage somewhat unclear on the concept. He trumpeted the joys and importance of gratifying farm animals as an alternative to sex with fat women and then burst into the songs, “I Can’t Fight This Fat Bitch Anymore” and “Girl, get that abortion soon”

Unfortunately, the evening did not go without some serious issues.

Immediately following his set, Needles Jones was thrown out of Bob & Barbara’s for briefly passing out in restroom and then attempting to smoke pot at the bar.

Public Relations Director the Machine was slated with the responsibility of providing internal security for an event that had the potential to get out of hand. To insure order was maintained he opted to bring an additional bouncer. Unfortunately they both got shit hammered drunk and provoked a fight with an unsuspecting group of audience members. Being that THEY were the security, nothing was done at the time to quell the altercation. Clearly we have some glitches to fix to ensure our staff does not menace the audience they are meant to protect and entertain.

But this near brawl was not the only act of violence that marred the Swellco & Swellco event. Unfortunately the stand belonging to the lovable Baby Cheeswitts was broken. Clearly this malicious act of vandalism was a direct result of puppet prejudice. Baby Cheeswitts has been severally traumatized and has gone into hiding, his where abouts only known by Mr. Deadguy and his therapist.

Special Thanks to Louise L’tease, Bob Dix and R. E. Brown for conceiving and (dis)organizing such a genuinely bad idea.

So they want me to write a post for “Where we go.” Honestly, ever since the 5 Spot burned down here in Philadelphia I would have to say, I go anywhere the Peek a Boo Revue is playing. It’s no secret that some of the girls working with the Video Circus are past or presently affiliated with the Peek a Boo, so this may seem like a shameless plug, but it’s not. They are widely considered one of the best neo-burlesque troupes in the country. They are also one of the most authentic and true to classic form troupes operating out there. They generally stick with the whole variety mix; with comics, singers and the occasional circus or vaudeville act.

I got into a HUGE debate with a Swellco writer whose name will go unmentioned. His stance was that the whole burlesque revival was a response to a subconscious urge for both the audience and the dancers to experience “vice” and justify their voyeur/exhibitionist sexuality without having to get dirty; because this old form of smut is seen now as artistic and clean. My response is “Duh, so what?” His complaint was that these people should drop the pretense and just embrace that they really want to be in a strip club. But I think that’s bullshit. I like sex, A LOT. But that doesn’t mean that it has to be dirty and skanky to be hot. Just like it was back in the day, watching a group like the Peek a Boo is really more about the naked girls than it’s about the art or the comedy. But I would rather see Ginger Leigh or Lulu Lollypop all made up in feathers and beautiful costumes than some pussy smelling stripper named Lexus or Desire rubbing their fake tits on me so they can get another dollar for meth. Just because something is unspoken, doesn’t mean it’s bad, and no matter what your motivations are for going to see the Peek a Boo, you should.

We own the party

Suspension of disbelief can be applied to all aspects of life.

To be “mentally” reconditioned means that Swellco & Swellco’s Video Circus process “quickens” (or makes alive) our numb mind. When a consumer believes in the process of the Video Circus, trusting us alone to encourage all perversions- then Swellco & Swellco come’s into one’s mind in the form of a new and better reality.
