A Boy-lesque show, anyone? Who knew, I would be sitting in the theater for “boy-lesque”. I love theater shows, but I never encountered with burlesque shows. But it happened indeed. It was a show called “Briefs: The Second Coming” from Australia. It was their last performance of the successful three-week run in Edinburgh’s Christmas, and
