Would I ever wear fishnets and pasties to work? I’m not sure it would go over so well, even at Seattle Weekly. But photographer Dale Rio’s subjects in “Night and Day: Burlesque in the Workplace” sport their risqué costumes during mundane office tasks like making copies. Rio’s fabulous photos (on display through June 30) reveal burlesque performers in their day jobs—but wearing their after-hours attire. Bold colors and even bolder costumes are accentuated by clever, retro poses for the “sophisticated tease” of burlesque performance, which Rio says is a long-lost art now on the comeback. The grace of one performer reclining at her construction job is astounding, but I marvel more that they convinced their day bosses to loosen the dress code. Babeland, 707 E.
