a disservice to the burlesque dancers...
I'm a burlesque dancer, and I can't see why in hell any of those dancers would agree to perform at a Global Warming conference in the first place. In saloon-era costuming, no less. It's absolutely nonsensical. Burlesque performers are batty, brilliant (yes, brilliant: if you doubt me, check out the current burlesque revival) queens that deserve their own artistic space and certainly don't deserve sideline status. Not only was this a surprisingly bad idea, it's an insult to the dancers themselves.
