A new burlesque troupe called Gritty City Sirens has recently come to Tacoma, and will have its debut performance at The Swiss Dec. 23. They are Ava D'Jor, Tizzy Van Tassel, Rosie Cheexx, Funny Face Fanny and Polly Puckerup.

Van Tassel has been doing Burlesque in Texas, and she said Rosie Cheexx is a "hometown sweetheart."

The others are new to burlesque. "Our Polly Puckerup just debuted her very first solo acts at Hells Kitchen the other night," Van Tassel said, adding, "We have two more beautiful burlesque debutantes who will be dancing solo for the first time as burlesque dancers on the 23rd at the Swiss."

There will be multiple solo routines and group acts. "Prepare yourself for a night of glitz, glamor, humor and plenty of T&A!" Van Tassel says.
