CAST TO BE ANNOUNCED SOON!
The Miss Twin Peaks Pageant has been going strong for over 7 years but it’s time to let the boys have a little fun! This will be the second Mister Twin Peaks Pageant hosted by The Pink Room Burlesque. Last year’s Mister Twin Peaks Pageant was packed with David Lynch burlesque fans and we have no doubt this year will be the same! Some of this year’s cast include some good ol’ classics like Special Agent Dale Cooper, but much like David Lynch we like to keep some of our cast a mystery.
The Pink Room Burlesque is a tribute to and satire of the works of David Lynch. Since the anniversary of Laura Palmer’s death in February of 2011, Francine and The Pink Room cast have covered everything from Twin Peaks, Fire Walk With Me, Blue Velvet, Wild At Heart, Lost Highway, Mulholland Drive, Eraserhead & Inland Empire. Francine & The Pink Room were recently featured in Showtime documentary “The Phenomenon” and on ABC’s Nightline along with David Lynch & Kyle MacLachlan. Francine & The Pink Room also starred in the official Showtime pop-up “A Tribute to Twin Peaks” at Brooklyn Bazaar. To say the least, The Pink Room Burlesque is now “Lynch-approved”.
