Hey, its ART!

I adore burlesque. Bulesque today is primarily defined as a more artistic form of the striptease and is mingled with vintage pinup elements. The performances revolve around one specific theme. At times, fire breathing acts, comedy routines, and other forms of satire are included although, primarily, today's form focuses on the beautiful ladies and the physical feats that their pronounced flexibility allows them to perform.

All of that to say that this video of a show that was done in Medulin, Croatia that is sexy but still classy but, if underwear and pasties offend you, skip it:


I would kill to go to a performance myself. Just the right bit of the sleaze factor without being classified as smut.

You can see tons of videos of two other wildly popular entertainers, Fanny Tastic and Michelle L'amour at YouTube or visit the site of Frenchie Kiss who is one of the instructors at Studio L'amour where you can schedule classes!


Gypsy Rose Lee , the muse for the incomparable Broadway musical Gypsy and the most recognizable name in the world of burlesque.

Thanks to Behind the Curtain for turning me onto the above modern day entertainers.

Sacrilege?

Now, I'll be the first to admit, I am ALL for taboo topics, alternative anything, etc. however, when its disrespectful toward any group of individuals or beliefs, I tend to take offense. Having grown up around Catholicism, what with my father's family belonging to the church, I am appalled at this photographic set , sans the photo at the beginning of this post, which I fell is lovely, tasteful, and reminiscent of a Renaissance painting. The rest are disrespectful, tawdry, and cheap.

It sort of pisses me off, actually.

Sound off, please.

Oooh, SCANDALOUS!

Here's a little ditty I am now obsessing over, I absolutely LOVE IT. It makes me grin like a jack-o-lantern! My Girl's Pussy by Harry Roy & his Bat Club Boys, recorded in 1931.
Thankies to Amy for bringing it to my attention.

PS- if any of you find risque items such as this song, please feel free to email me & bring them to my attention!
