The Kansas City Society of Burlesque entertains and titillates their audience by blending comedy, glamour, and innovative performing art. Their naughty, bawdy variety show that "tickles, teases, and pleases" features dancers clad in fishnets, corsets, ruffled panties, sequins and feather boas, while singing, dancing and strip-teasing. The KCSOB will perform at The Granada on Nov. 27.

Annie Cherry, a performer in the show, describes it as "song, dance, humor, and boobs. What could be better than sexy, confident men and women enjoying themselves for your voyeuristic pleasure?"
The show includes all the ingredients that make a burlesque show truly extraordinary, Cherry says. Live vocalists sing, blondes, brunettes, and redheads dance, a talented drag queen performs, and there will also be a handsome gentleman pantomime comic.
**Striptase**: Get your voyeuristic self on and go see the Kansas City Society Of Burlesque entertain their audience with everything from singing, dancing and stripping.
What makes live entertainment fun and exciting is the fact that it only happens once, Cherry says. "We really have something for everyone: sexy stripteases, political parodies,
drag queens, slapstick comedy, pipes, gams, thrills and spills." The show starts at 10pm, is $7 at the door, and is for adults only, ages 21 and up.

ESSENTIAL LIFE SKILLS // CONDOMS
> In case of emergency, read quickly
Sex is an intimate and vital part of our lives. Most people know and practice safe sex but there are things you may not know about condoms.
"I always knew condoms were used to prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections," says Nick Packauskas, Hays graduate student. "But there are important things to know about condoms that I never thought of before."
For both the experienced and inexperienced person, it is important to know how to handle a condom before having sex.
"Thismaynotbeabigissue,butexperimenting and knowing what you want out of sex plays a part in what condoms you choose," Olivia Burchett, education and outreach coordinator for Douglas County AIDS project, says.
For instance, flavored condoms work for oral sex, but can cause irritation and rashes if used for vaginal or anal sex.
Lubricated condoms create less friction and are therefore less likely to break during sex. Water based lubrication is the best bet because oil-based condoms, or substituting non-lubricated condoms with baby oil or Vaseline, are more likely to break.
Use non-lubricated condoms for sex in the shower because water-based condoms deteriorate quicker.
Remember, when putting the condom on pinch the tip to prevent air from building up inside. To be safe, make sure that the person whose fluids are on the outside of the condom is the one to remove it after sex.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different kinds of condoms.
"Go with your partner and find one that you like together," Burchett says. "This is another form of intimacy and connection that can make your sex life safer and more enjoyable."

Safe sex: Not only is important to use condoms to prevent pregnancy and STDs during sex, but different condoms should be used based on variation of sexual acts.

IN THE LIFE OF // A SEX STORE MANAGER
> Living vicariously through others is okay with us.
Some people may feel uncomfortable selling a giant vibrator or flavored lube to a stranger, but it's a routine for Allison Ortego. Ortego doesn't give a purchase like this a second thought after working as the store manager at Crilla's, 1206 W. 23rd St., for two years. Though Ortego acts as any other retail manager, the merchandise is quite different.
At 8:30 a.m. Ortego gets the store ready to open. She orders new products, takes inventory and helps customers throughout the day. Ortego says she sees customers ranging from old men purchasing porn during the day to couples and college students later at night. She says she often deals with prank phone calls from older men and young teens.
Ortego says Cirilla's sells a wide variety of porn. She says she feels like she knows the porn stars personally because every day she sees them in compromising positions and reads about them in magazines.
At a steep cost of $105.95, Ortego says her favorite item in the store is the We-Vibe. "The We-Vibe fits internal contours and is like
hands-free sex. It's one of the best vibrators we have," she says. The We-Vibe can be used on its own and also during sex.

The Kansas Board of Regents met Thursday in Topeka with higher education officials from state universities.
Much of the meeting was devoted to discussing issues pertaining to the University of Kansas and Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little addressed Regents on four separate occasions.
The following is a list of some of the issues and proposals that Regents reviewed and their effects on students and the University.

"If you can't track where a dollar comes from and where it goes, then you don't have a good system."
Regents reviewed the Department of Student Housing's proposal for a 1.6 percent increase in housing fees. The increase in fees is not uncommon and occurs annually to offset the increases in the cost of living.

Grav-Little and Provost Jeffrey Vitter updated Regents on the external audit recently ordered for the School of Business. The accounting firm BKD LLC performed the audit and stated in its report that of the $30 million raised since 2004 from course fees, 99.8 percent of the funds were spent appropriately.

edged that many of the financial issues occurred before Gray-Little and Vitter, Regent Chairman Gary Sherrer and Regent Tim Emert were dissatisfied with, of all schools, a business school's mishandling of student funds.
"If you can't track where a dollar comes from and where it goes, then you don't have a good system," Sherrer said.

The search is currently underway for a new dean for the school and the fourth candidate to visit campus was here this week.
Vitter and Gray-Little said they now know funds weren't accounted for and that the student advisory board should not have been disclosed back in 2006. Both Gray-Little and Vitter said they are looking to move forward.
Sherrer said that kind of miscommunication sends a bad message to students.

Gray-Little said she has been working with Jeff Severin, director for the Center for Sustainability, and student leaders to further develop strategies to reduce waste on campus and within the community.
Along with other state universities, Gray-Little presented to Regents the university's annual sustainability report.
The University has more than 230 sustainability related-courses and various avenues are taken on campus to increase the University's efforts.
This year, the University's website for energy-related issues was updated to highlight sustainable efforts in education, research, operations and campus life.
