Sparkly bras, garter belts and pasties are on the menu for this monthly show put on by the lovely ladies of Lili's Burlesque Revue -- though not anything we'd consider underpants. "Underpants" is really a tongue-in-cheek nod to the show's conservative Midwestern setting, but this show is anything but tame. Take Sweetpea's hourglass figure and her quick-start booty shaking, or redhead Ophelia Flame's sexy gams, or the troupe's Andrew Sisters-esque sing-and-strip routine, "Strip Polka," as cases in point. The show also includes plenty of well executed singing, comedy and novelty acts, plus live music from swing band the Gilded Lilies, making the show much more than just about the underpants.

As an eviction crisis has seemed increasingly likely this summer, everyone in the housing market has made the same plea to Washington: Send money — lots of it — that would keep renters in their homes and landlords afloat.
