Review

Trixie (Rebekah Kochan) and Sulie (Jillian Easton) are not only two of Los Angeles' hottest burlesque dancers, they are also girlfriends. One night after the show, the girls witness a mob-hit. Trixie tries to be a heroine but instead ends up shooting one of the mobsters. This sends the girls running to Sulie's parents' home in Texas under this facade of being roommates. In an effort to earn some money to return home, the girls start a burlesque show at a local truck stop. Not the best way to stay incognito. After a rough start, the show takes off and becomes the hottest thing to hit Texas since Charlene Tilton on Dallas. This not only causes a big controversy in a little town but it also sends the mob, the police, and the media after them. While all of this is going on, the girls are still living at Sulie's parents' house as roommates. Helen (Carol Lurie), Sulie's mother, starts to get suspicious and one night catches the girls sharing an intimate moment. This leads to the girls getting kicked out of the house and realizing they will soon have to face the demons waiting for them back in LA. All of this leads to an intense third act when it all goes down at the truck stop. As the clothes come off, the bullets fly.
