Burlesque is always fricking annoying cuz you never end up seeing any full nudity.

It's like paying extra to see Star Wars and then not getting to see the Death Star blow up.

Eh... one of the Farkettes has a burlesque outfit in her profile that is really quite awesomely hot. Don't remember with though.

Anyways, Burlesque is style. Not really porn at all, or strippers, but rather a very bawdy set of formula comedy with very apparent roots in Commedia del'arte. Three stooges also borrowed very visibly from the Commedia, they just left the body humor out.

Prior to about 1970, maybe, not including private clubs, but since then burlesque has often included graphic nudity. And I'm talking about burlesque, not exotic dance / stripping / etc per se.

I still don't think burlesque is that great. Most burlesque acts just aren't the kind of art I especially like, and if I'm going to be teased by an attractive woman, I don't want it to be because I paid her or while I'm surrounded by a bunch of other people. But you know how it is. We put up with a lot to see the naked ladies.

Burlesque is retro and non-threatening. No wonder hipsters like it.

To put it more clearly, Burlesque is often bawdy, sometimes very erotic, but not pornographic. Bawdy and erotic can be awesome for fappage too, if that is what yer missing.
 
2010-07-29 07:22:12 PM
I'd buy that for a penny!

I give you a 10/10 for that. Brilliantly executed with both style and substance. The links so far are proof enough for me to grade high marks.

I am not bookmarking this for the rebuttals to your post, really...

/not really

It's called stripping until the girls get to be around 150 lbs. Anything heavier than that and it is apparently called 'burlesque'.

the money is in the banana stand: Fat girls. No thanks.

Nothing wrong with a "comfortably upholstered" girl. The bigger the cushion, and all that...
 
2010-07-29 08:03:04 PM
Well, that was amazingly puerile, and non-erotic.

But then I suppose that's the essence of burlesque.

Interesting to hear that the loudest reaction from the crowd seemed to come from the females.

And why 'Taste of Honey'? Some kind of copyright issues?

If its not pornographic I better be getting some from the woman after the "art" is done.

Otherwise, meh. I have the Internet.

They could have at least lezzed out a little. I mean, you see hotter stuff in random clubs dance floors these days.

Vixxen from the Amazing Race used to do Grotesque Burlesque in Louisville, KY. I remember going to her shows, she just had electrical tape x's over her bits, it was awesome.


She also worked as a waitress at a restaurant I'd go to, my out of town friends ended up pissing her off by asking about her tits.

Burlesque: ber-lesk. Stripping for women who don't wish to get naked, but believe that silly costumes will make up for the lack of nudity. See also: "Cosplayer" and "Attention Whore".

So "whores" don't take their clothes off for you? And that angers you?

I actually went with a group of people to see a burlesque show. Paid money and everything.

It was awful. Horrible. It was all hyped in the local indie rag and such. But really it was some girl that probably developed a comiccon ego and went with it. She couldn't sing or dance. or carry a beat. You could tell who the friends were, because they were the only ones smiling. everyone else was pissed. it was that bad.

I even stayed through to the third act. it never got better. just fat white girls with no talent. But they were so hip with the burlesque thing. ugh.

and this vid just reinforced the idea that burlesque is something you think to do at friends parties when you are drunk. Because you are not that funny, not that hot, not that talented.

Get off the stage, you're making my teeth hurt and I can't finish my drink.

This is why I dance tribal fusion. The nerdettes are strong in this style. Klingon sword dancers, Orion and Leia slave girls, the works. Yum.

Also, Weirdee Girl (NSFW) and Helen Pontani. And just for Bacon, Helen's a lesbian.

Roxi Delite, Anita Cookie, Vixen Violette, and Miss Indigo Blue and pretty hot as well.

Maybe in the same way the Spice Girls, Monkees and Backstreet Boys were started as a burlesque troupe.

At the 24 hour Sci Fi Movie Marathon this year (the one in Boston) they had a SF themed burlesque... It was a pudgy gal doing strip routines in various costumes, including astronaut gear. Actually it was meh.
