Vogue Bar Mitzvah Boy Goes Burlesque
After the video of his "Vogue" performance at his 1992 bar mitzvah went viral back in August, Shaun Sperling has really been cashing in on his fifteen minutes of fame, hard. This weekend we got to see more of Mr. Sperling than ever before, as the boy who became a man became a burlesque act.
Sperling took the stage at Mary's Attic — a theater above a hamburger joint (yikes) in Chicago — to perform his now famous dance. This time, he's traded in his tallit for a pair of go-go boys, which, as any good gay Jew will tell you, is quite the improvement.
Sperling's performance was part of a fundraiser for UCAN, which helps find housing for LGBTQ youth in Chicago.
