Win tickets to see wrestling/burlesque extravanganza Lucha VaVOOM -- WE HAVE OUR WINNERS!

Boy howdy do we have a shit-ton of tickets to give away today. First up to the plate is two sets of tickets to go see Lucha VaVOOM, which Kristen Humbert wrote about in today's Agenda section. The burlesque/lucha libre/midget explosion hits the Troc tomorrow. So what's it all about? Let's have Kristen explain:

There's nothing like the promise of seeing tits after a long day of watching race cars. That is what drew men at the Long Beach Grand Prix to Lucha VaVOOM's stage — that and the masked wrestling. They drooled as the lithe and flexible Karis, VaVOOM's resident hula-hooper, entertained them during the race. The men salivated as she slowly spun and stripped, until off came her top — revealing that "she" was really a "he." Transforming expectations is the nature of Lucha VaVOOM. With a handful of 15-minute lucha libre-style masked matches, complemented by burlesque and narrated by a rotation of fringe comedians, VaVOOM fills a campy niche all its own.

You totally wanna go, don't you? The first two people to answer these questions correctly by emailing molly [dot] eichel [at] citypaper [dot] net get two tickets. (Do not leave your answer in the comments.) Congratulations to our two winners, Don and Reggie! The answers are below:

We sent one of our interns to Annie A-Bomb's School of Burlesque and had her write about her experiences. What was the burlesque name she chose for herself at the end of the class?

Emily Currier dubbed herself the Miss Dee Flowered for her series, The Pasty Postulant.

What Academy Award-winning director took the helm of a lucha libre-themed episode of CSI?

William Friedkin

Remember, e-mail! The only catch is you have to be able to pick up the tickets at our office in Old City. Deal? Deal.
