Chicago's very own burlesque superstar Michelle L'Amour will be featured in tonight's "Naked Girls Reading" program at the Toronto Burlesque Festival.


The Globe and Mail reports that concept of NGR, in which nude burlesque performers read out loud in a salon-style setting, was the brainchild of L'Amour and her husband, writer/photographer Franky Vivid. 


Can't make it to Toronto tonight?  L'Amour holds regular NGR salons at Studio L'Amour, located in Chicago's West Loop.  She also teaches burlesque classes at every level with her troupe, the Chicago Starlets.
