pertfoxylush Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 I'm sorry if this has been raised before, I did a search but couldn't find anything! I know it's sounds daft, but I don't understand what burlesque 'is'. My friend has decided she's gonna become more burlesque and I felt like a proper FOOL asking her what it is. So I didn't.

Ginger_Kitty Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 it was explained to me by another forummer who shall remain nameless when you think of 'striptease', strippers are concentrating on the 'strip' bit, burlesque dancers concentrate more on the 'tease' think corsets, feathers, fans, oo and tassles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 In the dictionary under 'burlesque', it says 'see her'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little_Alex Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 In the dictionary under 'burlesque', it says 'see her'. She was on the "Faking it" programme on channel 4 over Xmas. It was pretty good. I think 'Burlesque' is becoming the new 'New romantic' of the early eighties. Something a little different from the norm with clubs and dress sense.

hmr44 Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Dita Von Teese is amazing, I would totally love to be her! How do you get into burlesque dancing? I'd love to try it some time, it looks like fun! Faking It was brill too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neddio Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Dita Von Teese is amazing, I would totally love to be her! How do you get into burlesque dancing? I'd love to try it some time, it looks like fun! Faking It was brill too! What was with Dita Von Teese waist though - It looked about 10 inches round, and the woman who was with her was even worse. She looked good but maybe has taken the look a bit far. Apparently the corsets they wear pull the waist in over time and move the internal organs which must be a bit dangerous. The lady from Bradford ( i think ) did well to fake it though. Must have been very scary. Good luck if you go for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sTaGeWaLkEr Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 D.V.T was ok, and I'm aware that she's adored by many, but Immodesty Blaize is for me the more superior. Rarely will you see such radiant, glittering, diamond-encrusted, sparkling opulence in one beautifully corseted package! (her words not mine!)
