Showgirl of the Year (By L.A. Woman Ann Magnuson)

4/19/2006 1:00:36 PM - Reprinted from 'Paper' Magazine

Diminutive diva Selena Luna is the busiest woman in showbiz this month! Not only is she a regular in Robbie D's newest Sunday night cabaret "Go to Church" which kicked off this past Easter to great success (at the coolest club in town, The Casitia Del Campo's Cavern Club Theater), Selena is also featured guest performer this Wednesday, April 19th at the El Cid Show Restaurant when she appears in Margaret Cho's new Burlesque/Belly Dance/Comedy Showcase, The Sensuous Woman -- which benefits Habitat for Humanity of all things.

PLUS Miss Luna is hosting an elegant night of risque entertainment called Boudoir du BurLez at The Palms in West Hollywood  where she will be treating the Ladies (and the men too, all are welcome she tells me) to complimentary champagne and special bump and grind guests.

Besides being one of the best dressed rock chicks in Silver Lake, Selena (who also goes by the name "Bobby Pinz") is one of the nicest gals you'll ever meet.  I met her years ago hobnobbing on the Silver Lake "scene" and have shared the stage with her on several occasions, most notably while performing in The Velvet Hammer,   the LA burlesque show that really started this whole damned neo-pasties-and-G-string movement!

Selena could well be poised for bigger things since she recently returned from Montreal where she was featured in a special burlesque themed showcase directed by Zuaminty designer Thierry Mugler! Mugler always knows a good thing when he sees it so catch Selena at one of these hot April nights -- before she's competing with Joey Arias for Vegas Showgirl of the Year!

Thursday April 20th:

Boudoir du BurLez’s Launch Party reached legendary Hollywood proportions. This was the King Kong of LA nightlife. I would like to personally thank each and every individual who attended this magnificent soirée. This unique evening of cabaret was packed wall-to-wall with the fabulous, gorgeous, ingenuous and celebrities of every variety.

In attendance was 60s burlesque legend June Wilkinson, as well as, Mulholland Drive’s Laura Harring, film star Chloe Webb, music legend Kim Fowley, sex pioneer & porn favorite Buck Angel, foxes of the Velvet Hammer Burlesque credited for sparking the neo-burlesque movement, Robbie D. prolific artist of international notoriety, celebrity hairdresser Eric Gabriel, Japhy Grant, Frontiers Magazine, filmmaker Lawrence Elbert, celebrity musician Roger Espinoza, star photographer Justice Howard, America’s Next Top Model producer & former EpiLady Michelle “Meesh” Mills, veteran TV producer/filmmaker Jane Cantillon, virtuoso Director Richard Ross…(phew)…I’m outta breath.

Rebekah Del Rio, was the perfect addition to this magical evening of sensuality and charm. In Del Rio tradition, the hungry crowd was left salivating for more, not to mention, a passionately authentic performance by the incomparable Diamondback Annie. Last but certainly not least, DJ Matisse, kept the party going into the wee hours.

An evening of legends was had by all….Come on back kids, the party’s just gett’n started!
