Valentine’s Burlesque Show!

~From Your Valentine~
Posted by Jana Edele | Filed under News
What is the origin of St. Valentine's Day? Is it the Catholic commemoration of the martyred Saint Valentines; or a celebration of the Roman pagan Lupercalia festival, dedicated to the Roman god Faunus? Whether you're a history buff or a Hallmark card buyer, Valentine's has become an unmistaken and well known American tradition.
In recognition of the medieval European concept of Courtly Love, an expression of love and admiration, the Velvet Kittens request your attendance to our February 14th Valentine's Burlesque Show: From Your Valentine!
Tempt your adored one with song and dance, or take pleasure in this single's awareness day at the Velvet Kitten Burlesque affair!
