Toothsome

Fairly amazing, am I right? I think these are homemade by N, and I saw them at HyperGender's Necromance show on February 6, 2010 at WoW Cafe Theater. Part of a Lady Gaga performance piece.

It's A Little Stormy in the radioactive fallout shelter

These pasties were worn by It's a Little Stormy at the December 5, 2009 HyperGender show at WoW Cafe Theater. It was a radioactive stinky-cheese number that was quite brilliant.

Clams Casino is so totally a rock star

How completely awesome are these rock star pasties? Worn by Clams Casino at Bunny Love's Little Friday Show at the Slipper Room on December 18, 2008.

Bonnie Voy'age, you are my hero

Ohhh Bonnie Voy'age you genius you! How funny are these? I'm not going to give it away, but the rest of the costume is just as creative -- and wrong. Very, very wrong (but oddly, oh so right!). Bonnie trotted these out at Dizzy Swank's 40th Birthday Party at the Slipper Room on August 17, 2008. Most of the routines that night were centered around the idea that Dizzy's over the hill, but this was my absolute favorite. Far out!

Oh how I wish it were true!

Dirty Martini is a national treasure, and we're lucky enough to have her here in NYC (most of the time). Honestly, every time I see her perform, it's electric. And how naughty are these homemade For Sale pasties? I shot this at the now-shuttered (and much missed) RiFiFi in August of 2006, I believe at a Starshine or Sweet & Nasty show. I'll bet I'm not the only one who wishes it were true!

Satanic Christmas light-up pasties

Bless you Fem Appeal. How freaking cool are these homemade light-up pasties? Fem wore these at the !BadAss! Burlesque Satanic Christmas show on December 20, 2008. The act, like the pasties, was excellent.

Mini Malicious' yummy pasties

Mini Malicious (whom I miss as I never get to see her anymore) wore these edible pasties (I kid you not) at Fem Appeal's Kitty Nights at NYC's Bar on A, August 27, 2006.

Fem Appeal cracks me up

Fem Appeal surprised me when she took off her clothes and she was wearing these (probably homemade) "Double Wide" pasties. They were from a Sunday night Kitty Nights in August of 2006. I wish I could remember what the act was! I'll bet it was hysterical. Fem's stuff usually is.

Merry Christmas!

Many thanks to the gorgeous Fifi Dupree (waving -- hi Feef!) for these red-and-green Christmas pasties. I love them! What a happy holiday it was in December of 2006 when Fifi wore these babies at Kitty Nights.

Lola Dare's pretty nectar-seeking bees

I post these today because it was freezing in NYC with plenty of snow. And not the good kinda snow either: it was icy and slushy and windy and icky out. Meh. Not my favorite weather. But who could remain in a bad mood with these pretty pasties staring at you? Lola Dare wore these nectar-seeking bees and flower pasties in December of 2006 and a Lucky Fridays show. Just lovely!

Just lovely. Gal Friday knows her pasties.

Gal Friday rocked these gorgeous crystal pasties at a December 2006 show at Kitty Nights. Sparkly and stunning.

Stormy Leather's Happy Holidays Are Our Happy Holidays too!

This excellent Christmas-set-o-pasties was shot almost exactly 2 years ago today. Stormy Leather wore these at a Christmas show at Kitty Nights (12-2006). Pretty and sparkly and holiday-rific.

Liitle Brooklyn's Richard Simmons hirsute pasties

Little Brooklyn cracks me up. She's the perfect blend of sexy burlesquer and comic relief. Also, best facial expressions ever. But this is a pasties blog, not facial expressions blog, so let's focus on these tremendous wonders. Little Brooklyn trotted these out at The Slipper Room in September of 2006. You hadda be there.

Nasty Canasta's star-shaped pasties, a Mermaid Parade gift of goodness

Here's Nasty Canasta at the Mermaid Parade in June of 2006 wearing some gorgeous gold, sequin-lined star-shaped pasties. *drool*

Animal-print pasties make me growl! Sexy!

Tula LaGams wore these leopard-patterned pasties in September of 2006 at one of her events at Jimmy's 43. Love the tassels (I'm a sucker for tassels), the print, and the attitude needed to wear them. Rock on, Tula!

Darlinda Just Darlinda makes me smile -- even when rainy days make me cry

Darlinda Just Darlinda cracked me up with these wonderful cloud pasties while at the Slipper Room (complete with rain drops!).

Lady Crimson's crimson pasties

The pasties that cap these bountiful and beautiful breasts belong to Lady Crimson, and were featured at Lucky Fridays in March of 2007. Lucky pasties!

Fem Appeal's adorable gingerbread men

These sweet holiday pasties are from Kitty Nights in December of 2006. I'm a sucker for holiday-themed pasties and Fem never disappoints.

Fem Appeal is watching you

Fem wore these amazing homemade pasties at Kitty Nights in August of 2006. Every time I see her, she has another pastie surprise under her outfit! Are these not amazing??

More pectoral-pasties!!

Christmas pasties! I said I was going to hold off on the holiday stuff until after thanksgiving, but I couldn't. I caved! Here's Dizzy Swank, amazing performer and photographer, rocking the Swanky Claus pasties at Lucky Fridays in December of 2006.

And, a big thank you to those who pointed out that "man boobs" was not a flattering term. I'm using "pectoral pasties instead." I didn't know. Mea culpa.
