“You know the movie American Graffiti, and the part where Terry says to Debbie, that gorgeous blond honey, “What a babe…what a bitchin’ babe,” well that’s us, that’s how we chose our name.” On October 16, 2011, I saw the show, “The Four Bitchin’ Babes.” This particular act they were presenting was called “Diva Nation.” The performance was fantastic from the very beginning. A man came onto the stage, introduced the ladies, and then cut a big ribbon to initiate the start of the show. The four women started with a very funny song all about the items people frequently lose, such as, one’s glasses, the television remote, the money to pay the pizza man, and a purse. This song was a perfect introduction as to what the whole show would be about. The women sang songs about real life events, but made them hilariously entertaining by “letting their inner diva come out.” Their show was definitely aimed towards older women, so some parts I did not understand or find as funny as the other members in the audience did. Nonetheless, “The Four Bitchin’ Babes” was an awesome show performed by some very awe-inspiring babes.

Each of the four babes, Christine Lavin, Patty Larkin, Megan McDonough, and Sally Fingerett, put on a unique performance. One of the babes introduced the other and her accomplishments, then that lady spoke and sang a song she wrote. Their songs were personal, yet everyone could emphasize with them. The ladies had such a great view on life and a wonderful spirit about them. For example, one of the songs the audience and I found extremely amusing was one called, “The Boob Fairy.” They each went back and forth singing their own songs until the end of the show, when they said, “Thanks for coming; it would have been different if you hadn’t.” The last song they sang together, which summoned up what “The Four Bitchin’ Babes” and their shows were all about, “happiness, love, laughter, singing, and women.” (The show also inspired me to check out their website for more information about the babes at – http://www.fourbitchinbabes.com/).
