Burlesque goes nerdy at Los Angeles' Bordello club photo

Ok, picture this: an evening of entertainment provided by hot girls dressed like video game characters who then proceed to take off their clothes for an audience? Uh ... what I've just described is the wet dream of the majority of male gamers on the planet (and some female ones, ahem). Believe it or not, it went down this past weekend in Los Angeles. On May 9th at the Bordello bar, ladies dressed as Princess Peach, Samus Aran, Princess Zelda and Link, Chun Li and Rayne (from Bloodrayne) put on a grand show in the tradition of a good old fashioned striptease.

Feel like you missed out? Well, you can check out our favorite pics in the gallery, the full slideshow over at LA Weekly, or best of all, you can see the show happen again during E3. Devil's Playground will put on their encore performance the evening of June 3rd, which just might be worth taking a break from furiously pounding out stories to attend. Although, attending may mean I see a few other people pounding something, if you get my drift.

One of those characters is not in the same league as the others. (Hint: It's Rayne) Surprised nobody went as Lara Croft.

Ew!! Ugly Rayne! Do not want! That's pretty freaking sad when I'd rather watch that Uwe Boll piece of shit in order to watch a hot(ter) Rayne.

We have similar shows in New York all the time, show up on May 23, in Midtown, we are putting on a Watchmen themed show, the girls, and some guys are awesome, and there will be a charity auction, where the performers become the winning tables cocktail waiter or waitress for the night.

Wait, there is a Chun Li but no Cammy? Maybe because Cammy's outfit leave nothing to the imagination, I assume. Then again, she could always have that robe she throws off before she begins a fight.

I've put more thought into this than I would have liked.

Definite NSFW article. XD Surprised they could show that much, but I don't know burlesque at all, so...

To be honest, the girl in the header image could probably have better dressed up as Bad Girl for massive obscurity points. :3

Why is there a FAT WHITE girl dressed as Chun-Li??? Really, they couldn't find one Chinese girl in all of L.A. to do a decent Chun-Li? FAIL.

I find this sad. VERY SAD. In fact I wouldn't be caught dead near that club. Don't we already have video game character porn thanks to Playboy?
