Burlesque is sexier than ever at Aqua Lounge, which hosts "Blackout," a weekly sin-and-skin fest that's one part booty and two parts -licious.

Pitched as "the sleek sexiness of a Bond film meets the unbounded, raw energy of Flashdance," "Blackout" is a high energy, highly acrobatic late-night cabaret act set amid the underwater-themed Aqua Lounge, a space which once housed Larry Flynt's Hustler Club. Eight gorgeous girls—sometimes in little more than short shorts and suspenders—dance their variously sized and shaped behinds off, grinding anything and everything in sight to amped-up, booty-bumped remixed classics by Queen, Prince and Tina Turner. Pitch-perfect, intricately choreographed moves are provided courtesy of Tracy Phillips and Dominic Carbone, who have worked with artists like No Doubt and Marilyn Manson. Highlights of the show include the leggy ladies in gold bikinis that would've made Princess Leia blush, and one soulful stripper literally hanging from the rafters, singing and stripping like were the ones who are upside-down! Bring a hungry date—the menu is as delectable as the ladies. The exotic fish in Aqua's massive fish tanks are the only ones who get completely naked, though, so keep your folded-up dollar bills at home. Still, after three vodka tonics, those are some sexy mackerels... —Amir Kenan
