Obviously the video was shot during the day shift.

"Burlesque" must be French for "man the harpoons!"

The one on the left: maybe, if she were really sweet and enthusiastic.

The one on the right: yessir. I would.
 
2012-02-09 12:04:23 PM
whats the technical difficulty? the fact that its illegal to record people in a licensed establishment?

I'm gonna have to go with a solid TF for the one on the right...

The other one should avoid stage performances that don't involve being in off Broadway productions of Hairspray.

Nurglitch: Burlesque is stripping for fat chicks.

Not necessarily, it's a specific style. Although it tends to attract more ruebenesque performers.

I personally prefer curves to bag of antlers. The women in TFA are too curvy.

A BALLOON POPPING ROUTINE? They were busted for performing a BALLOON-POPPING ROUTINE? Jesus, I'm glad I got the hell out of Iowa when I turned 18.

/That and, well, look at them. . . I mean, just sayin'.

Even showing up in public without a bag on their heads would be considered indecent exposure.

A Des Moines city ordinance generally prohibits exposure of female breasts "at or below the nipple" at establishments with liquor licenses or in public places.

Seriously though, I thought these laws were found unconstitutional? You can't ban female breast exposure without banning male breast exposure.

And when the hell is our country going to get over it? It's just a frickin nipple. It's cool to run Fear Factor drinking donkey semen shiat but one boob and the courts gotta get involved? We can have SAW movies torturing people to death in sick shiat ways but show a penis or a vulva and it's an X rating?

I explained it to my kid this way once - pretty much every single person on earth will have sex at some point in our life. Hardly any of us will murder people. So it's much more normal to talk about sex than it is to murder people. Pretty much all of us have genitals, not very many of us burn people to ashes with a flamethrower. So he should feel less weird talking about bodies than burning people with fire. And he's got no beef drawing pictures of himself as a WoW warlock.

I've added "Iowa burlesque dancers" to my list of scary phrases. Above "Monday Fish Special" but below "Lucas Aerospace."

That and it's not just about stripping. Typically, they never get fully nude, and the troupe my wife and I go see utilize a lot if comedy and musical acts. They've even got a cool Vaudeville duo that act as hosts for the show. There's one "larger" gal in the troupe, and she's got the most amazing singing voice.

No pics of Danielle from American Pickers? Come on guys! I can't GIS them at work. The ones I've seen are SFW, but I don't need "Dannie Diesel burlesque" showing up on my search history.

Seconded.

I saw the Iowa Burlesque Dancers play Woodstock.

I went to one in vegas and all the chicks were hot. These girls make make me want to cut my balls off.

Yes, but why?

How did it become that way?

I think doing burlesque would be fun.

Cited for showing too much skin indeed.

Any port in a storm, my friends, and it would take quite the storm to strand me in Iowa. Not the left port, though, she's got pig face.

That wasn't very nice.

It was freaking hilarious, but no very nice.

The one on the right, yes, absolutely.

Nurglitch: Burlesque is stripping for fat chicks.

Sturdy Gurlesque was a thicker performer in St. Louis, but she was smoking hot. That is, before she packed on a little too much. I'm sure you can GIS some great pics/vids. I'll try to pull some up when I get home.

I was generalizing. That would be the style, less skin is more in burlesque usually.

I have a feeling that large portions of fark would approve and request photographic evidence.

If he keeps that up, he'll never have to worry with these tricky boobie-related issues...
