I haven’t been able to find a whole lot of info on these gals in the internet, but from what I gather they:
1. Are an L.A.-based “burlesque” act
2. Have a somewhat revolving membership, including Christina Applegate, Britney Murphy, Gwen Stafani, Charlize Theron and Carmen Electra
3. Have an annoyingly catchy song on the radio right now,“Don’ t Cha,” that I can’t seem to get out of my head.
4. Um, they’re a bunch of hot chicks that pretty much do whatever it is they do while wearing sexy lingerie.
So are these guys basically the new Spice Girls? Is it a supermodel supergroup?Has anyone seen them perform?

I loved their song from _Shall We Dance?_ (“Sway”) and also had very little luck finding anything out about them. That surprised me! Anyway, I don’t have much to offer in the way of information about them, but I’d love to know if anyone else knows.

All I know of them is that their founder is the sister of that wretched wretched man who opened the salon on the Bravo reality show _Blow Out_.

There was a bit in Maxim about 2-3 (maybe 4) years ago with pictures.

They do a burlesque dance routine to the “Pink Panther Theme” in Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle. I’m a fan from the little I’ve seen of them, since I love their kitschy, retro take on sexuality and their kinky outfits. I’m glad “classic” burlesque seems to be making a comeback and is edging just outside of the mainstream.

They were on an episode of _Las Vegas_ this year performing a routine. Watch for the rerun.
