BURLESQUE is the second book in our Performance Series. Our first,
dr.a.g. (for dressed as girl), showcased men at their glamorous
best.This book focuses on the women.Beginning as a variety show
with ribald humour and satirical political skits, burlesque
branched out to become an empowering artful expression as well as a
nostalgic nod to our past, both socially and politically. If you've
ever been to a burlesque show, you've felt that charge in the
air.Burlesque is experiencing a revival. Shows and festivals have
been popping up everywhere and boasting record attendance
levels.There are hundreds of magazines that cater to and focus on
the Burlesque scene, crossing over into the Pin Up, Tattoo and
Vintage fashion crowds as well.Just Google any performer in this
book and you'll find thousands of fans on Facebook, and tens of
thousands of followers on Twitter and Instagram. In the case of
some of our most celebrated stars, UK queen of burlesque Immodesty
Blaize and cross-over icon Dita VonTeese, those numbers are in the
hundred thousands of followers.Sexy sells, but these performers
also are bonafide celebrities in their own right, with huge
followings and fan bases; a great place to start from to bring a
wide audience to the table.
