How to describe Miss Lauderdale? A fine-featured Atlanta belle turned scandalous by New Orleans dixieland? A New York stage gypsy determined to scratch her way into the national limelight, one sculpted fingernail at a time? An accomplished vaudevillian who can turn any page from the songbook into a novelty number? All of the above? Lauderdale s is the most theatrical cabaret act I ve witnessed in Austin, replete with audience participation that would make Zach director Dave Steakley blush with envy. Let s see, she set up a kissing booth, staged a toenail-painting session, shimmied with her mom and sis, and blasted Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy with an endearing clown in a kilt. Come to think of it, she s like an early, less raunchy Bette Midler, caressed by class. Her material is shaded light blue - woman-proud, man-crazy, faintly campy. Lauderdale, you ve got it.~Michael Barnes, Austin360.com
I heart Mandy Lauderdale. HOT, HOT, HOTTT!!!! And quite hilarious... I love how she takes little quiet, witty stabs here and there at anyone and everyone (deserving). You NEED to have her at your next party, get-together, Bible study-anywhere u want to be a little less lame & impress everyone. Listen up (especially u less blessed dudes reading The Game to get laid): Mandy is fiery, spicy, witty & delivers it all with an incredible voice & a *little extra.* So hire her already. Nobody forgets a Mandy experience. She's the world's greatest performer. It's just the truth--I am on a personal mission to make sure everyone gets their Mandy experience before she's so hot you can't get to her!! It's one of my community obligations, up there with mentoring at-risk youth, saving abused puppies and health care reform--a lil Laudy makes you smile, laugh and love and that all improves quality of life!! ~Tiffany Harvey, Young Execs of Austin
The talented, gorgeous, sweet and incredibly fun Mandy Lauderdale has just released her first album. She s been teasing the boys (and girls) for a few years now with her sassy old-meets-new-not-quite-burlesque-one-of-a-kind performances in Los Angeles, NYC and now Austin, Texas. Check her out or buy her album. Better yet, go to Austin and see her live. You ll never forget it.(Detangle.us)
