A very grand show

Usually, I spend about an hour or so each day watching burlesque videos, reading articles about burlesque, and the rest of the day thinking about burlesque! Not owning a car can be awful but the long commute to work and uni allows for many pleasurable hours of burlesque discovery. I've watched many videos ranging from sideshow comedy acts to elegant and sensual shows. The thing that strikes me the most about these elegant shows is the props. They are often insanely amazing. The sheer time and money that must go into developing the props alone must be extraordinary, let alone the costume, act, lighting, music and production. So I thought I'd share some of my favourites!

Immodesty Blaize...what can I do but sigh? A stunning creature perhaps not from this world!

Dita Von Teese is undeniably one of the most succesful neo-burlesque performers, she has become a household name!

Okay, so she doesn't actually use it in a show, but I just had to include the Virgin plane Dita's image graces! Image sourced here.


Roxi Dlite was just crowned Reigning Queen of Burlesque at The Burlesque Hall of Fame Pageant.

They don't call her 'The Drinkin', Smokin', Strippin' Machine' for nothing! Image sourced here.


Catherine D'Lish is a woman of many talents! Her shows are breathtaking and her costume designs to die for.

There are lots more but I've run out of time, hope you enjoyed!

Happy Teasing!
