PAL Vancouver is so happy to see that one of our residents, Lorna, was celebrated as a living legend at the Vancouver International Burlesque Festival.
Lorna, a Resident at PAL Vancouver since 2006, came out of her Burlesque retirement in her 70s to begin performing again. Lorna lights up when talking about what made her return to the stage: "the burlesque community is a dynamic, vibrant community, and I feel very blessed to be part of it."
Reflecting on her experience at the 2023 Vancouver International Burlesque Festival, Lorna commented:
"I have been so richly celebrated at this year's Burlesque Festival. Really my family, my friends and the whole burlesque community deserve my warmest gratitude but for now, I would like to give a shout-out to Androsdia Wilde who spearheaded the whole event, bringing together some fabulously gifted performers. Also, to Dae Lee Grind, Isabella Evangelina, and the others who assisted with much of my pre-show and behind scene needs. And a special thanks for the three dozen red roses!!!"
"As I continually say to those who marvel at the "novelty" of older people re-entering the stage: 'This is good news for all of us' and 'We must do what we love for as long as we can' ".
Let us all celebrate the incredible diversity of the many trailblazers in Vancouver’s burlesque community. Art is truly transformational for our society and PAL Vancouver is so proud to be a support system for our city's artists.

I liked that the writing doesn’t try to be clever; it just tells you what you need without making you hunt for it. I ended up clicking into Drift Boss mid-scroll and it loads into the game super quickly, which was a nice surprise. The one-button setup is obvious within seconds, but it still gets tense once the track starts bending and you realize how tight the timing is. Nothing feels buried or hidden behind extra tabs, and the spacing makes it comfortable to read on-screen. The “How to Play” part is grouped…
keo nha cai hôm bữa mình cũng tò mò bấm vào xem thử, kiểu chỉ lướt nhanh chứ không ngồi phân tích gì. Cảm giác đầu tiên là họ để bảng kèo bóng đá trực tuyến khá “đập vào mắt”, nhìn gọn và dễ theo dõi. Mình thích chỗ họ tách rõ phần cả trận với hiệp 1, nên liếc qua là biết đang xem mục nào, không bị rối. Cuộn xuống chút là gặp mấy đoạn giải thích kiểu “kèo nhà cái là gì”, viết ngắn gọn nên đọc cho hiểu khái niệm cũng nhanh, không phải ngụp trong chữ. Nói chung giao diện không màu mè, tập trung vào dữ liệu. Nhìn cái bảng tỷ lệ dạng cột…
