Support the independent voice of Houston and help keep the future of Houston Press free.
We’ve just loaded up some
images of local burlesque performer Calla Doll, who’s slated to perform this Saturday with a five-foot bubble (?) at the Dare Ware
Summer Sin Party.
Miss Doll says she was named after the calla lily; her mom worked in a flower shop. As for her stage surname, she believes “dolls are the best example of feminine beauty.” We’re not sure we agree with that statement, but we’ll definitely take a close look just to be sure. – Keith Plocek
Keep the Houston Press Free... Since we started the Houston Press, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Houston, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Houston with no paywalls.
