Press Release

Pin Ups For Breast Cancer Research
2009 Calendar

       The Rosebud Burlesque Club and Academy was founded in 2007 in Saskatoon Saskatchewan to meet the needs of wayward Canadian prairie girls. It has since established regular retro burlesque classes and is known for their classy and classic performances! They have introduced the fair city to a fair bit of bits! The Academy is directed by Head Mistress Cheripop Purr and has almost one hundred graduates wandering the city so far!

       This summer the club held a 1920's style car wash to raise money for a fundraising initiative. The club has since produced a retro style 14 month Pin Up calendar featuring many of our members striking classic and classy poses. Our goal is to raise $10,000 to donate to Breast Cancer research in Canada! We are donating $10 from each calendar sale to the cause and aim to sell a minimum of 1000 calendars! The Rosebuds will join forces with the C95 Radio Marathon for Breast Cancer research on October 23 and 24th at Lawson Mall where calendars will be available. Local stores selling the calendars include: Positive Passions 1C-1005 Broadway Ave, Saskatoon, Turning the Tide Bookstore 525 11th Street East, Saskatoon and Bodacious Bustlines in the Warman Plaza. Calendars will also be available at the Anarchist Book Fair at the Cosmo Centre on November 8th. You can personally order your calendar by calling 306-665-5998 or by emailing us at burlesque@sasktel.net. Calendars are available for $21.00.

       The Rosebuds are a neo burlesque feminist social club which supports women's causes and other community issues. We strive to celebrate the beauty and glamour of the Female form in all its many variations. We are highly inclusive in our membership and our members range widely in age, body type, ethnicity and backgrounds.
