    Burlesque comes to Long Beach, raising $1,500 plus for Tall Elks charity By John Nechvatal For the Observer LONG BEACH - On Saturday, July 11, the Long Beach Elks lodge provided an entertainment first on the Peninsula. Reminiscent of the days before television and the Internet when live shows were the rage, a good old-fashioned burlesque show was staged in the Elks ballroom. The 12 "performers," all members of Long Beach Elks Lodge No. 1937, had the chance to show off their feminine side to the delight of a packed house. The event was the brainchild of past Lecturing Knight Natalie Hanson, who has owned an ad agency and a production company. Costuming proved to be Natalie's largest hurdle as most of the performers are not exactly sized for the runway. The evening began at 6 p.m. with a delicious ham dinner served to all. Ham was chosen

One such set of gigs include the February 24 and 25 benefits for The Masque at the Elks Lodge. Many of the artists who performed are featured in today's photos (none of these pix are from the Elks Lodge show, however).

    Apparently there is some controversy going on in Canada. They appear to be trying to merge the Elks of Canada (men) with the Royal Purple (women) since it has been 15 years since women were allowed into the Elks of Canada. If you go to their website, that 'merger' is apparently not going on very well. Canadian Elks number 12,000, ladies 3000. About 250 locations/lodges
