Burlesque, a special art

Burlesque

A variety show that uses comedians, ecdysiasts, and musicians. The ecdysiasts (READ: strippers) often required to sing and dance while removing their clothes in a seductive manner. There is usualy a master of ceremonies betwixt acts.


I love Burlesque the colours the costumes the sexiness of it all I am so glad it has become popular and Cher was great in the film I might watch it again anyone want to join me. Bring the Champagne.

Burlesque is so much more than it seems and is certainly much more than taking your clothes off. The history of burlesque and all of its queens are endless and there is so much you can read and learn about. It truly is an art form and is certainly a very interesting subject to research about. I think you would surprise yourself with what you will learn about burlesque and a visit to me!!

Contemporary burlesque has evolved from those basic origins into 3 main categories: Cabaret, Striptease, and Traditional Burlesque. My favourite things I can provide you with all of them lets do it.

Cabaret

Epitomised in French chorus line shows like Moulin Rouge or the Lido where glamour and grace are the main attractions and there is hardly ever a striptease, as most of the dancers appear topless, to begin with. I love to be topless.

Striptease

Also very glamorous. Dita Von Tease is an excellent example of this kind of burlesque: The focus is on the gorgeous and expensive props and costumes, and how well she uses and loses them. My striptease is pretty good too.

Traditional Burlesque

The favourite in the UK. This kind of burlesque is about humorous social satire, whether obvious or not. Each act relies on a story; if the performer strips, it’s because the character or the situation requires it.

Kitty If you obey all the rules you miss all the fun. What’s the point of being sexy if you cannot profit from it xx
