Definition
Burlesque is a style of stripping and dance that is typically less vulgar than going to a strip club, although some neo-burlesque acts can be quite intense. Traditional burlesque acts feature women dressed in the style of the 1920’s and 30’s, slowly stripping off their clothes and teasing the audience. Most burlesque performances don’t feature full nudity – the performers wear pasties over their nipples and sometimes leave their panties on. However, it takes a lot of skill and preparation to devise sparkly costumes and acts on a regular basis.
Popular Burlesque Performers
Outside of big cities, most burlesque performers are girls who simply do it as a hobby. You probably know a few and don’t even know it, since sometimes they try to keep their alter identities under wraps. Dita Von Teese is probably the main burlesque performer to really hit it big in the mainstream world. Everyone knows her name and she exemplifies the burlesque aesthetic. Other girls to check out would include Nasty Canasta and Legs Malone who have nearly made it that far up the burlesque ladder.
Bringing It Into The Bedroom
If you want to bring burlesque into the bedroom you’ll need to wear some hot lingerie and then slowly strip it off. Burlesque is all about the art of the tease and as long as you make every movement long and drawn out, you’ll be doing a good job. Don’t show your lover the goods until you’ve really made them work for it. You can continue your teasing with your lover when you get down to the sexy stuff too, by massaging their erection or not touching their cock right away when you notice that it is getting stiff.
