Book event goes burlesque-esque
Lucy’s Informal Flowers and
SMART (Start Making A Reader
Today) supporter Jacquie Barone
of Hood River is hosting a book
event in Hood River as a fund-
raiser for SMART, a non-profit
youth literacy program that op-
erates in Hood River County
schools and preschool facilities.
The Jan. 25 event, 3:30 p.m. at
Lucy’s Informal Flowers, 311 Oak
St., Hood River, features author
Lindsy Hughes of Vancouver
B.C., and her latest book, “The
Common Wife,” about Hughes’
walk on the iconic trail in Spain
known as Camino de Santiago.
The walk came at a critical per-
sonal point for Hughes, who had
earlier worked as a burlesque
dancer in Vancouver, under the
name Luna Blue. Amazon.com
describes the book as “an irrever-
ent memoir of one woman’s pil-
grimage to the Ends of the Earth.”
Hughes will sell her books
for $20 and give $10 to SMART,
a program in which adult read-
ers spend an hour each week
reading with elementary stu-
dents, and the kids take home
two new books each month to
keep. A donation jar will also be
available.
The book signing will have
an unusual extra: In the “spirit
of burlesque,” according to Bar-
one, Hughes will demonstrate
burlesque techniques and in-
vite attendees to put on beads,
high heels and other accou-
trements and try some dance
moves. Part of the fun will also
be choosing a burlesque name.
SMART of Hood River and
Wasco counties has its annual
fundraiser, Sip in the Gorge,
planned for April 2 at 6 p.m. at
Hood River Hotel.
