Bravo appreciates her job the most when she sees a satisfied audience.
Last Saturday's show at Friends and Co., featured four dancers, including Bravo herself, wearing costumes ranging from a French maid uniform to a gorilla suit. One woman came out dressed like a cowgirl and danced to Big and Rich's "Save a horse (Ride a cowboy)." Audience interaction was also a part of the show.
One man and one woman participated in a shimmying contest, and the man won a free drink of his choice. The Fluffgirls auctioned off various things, such as a whip-spanking from Bravo herself. The whipping, which continued until the whip broke, was auctioned off for $45.
"I thought it was great," said Melissa Bochte, a junior psychology major. "I'd much rather see this than a strip show."
In between the whistling, hooting and hollering, a couple people heckled the women. For those who decide to heckle a burlesque dancer, be forewarned: these women will heckle back.
After a man yelled at Bravo, while she stood on the stage, she replied by announcing to the audience, "Excuse me, everyone. This man in the front is offering free blow-jobs."
