Cher and Christina Aguilera, together? On the same soundtrack? Who cares that the Burlesque film garnered mixed reviews at best (though a lot of folks now regard the 2010 feature as a camp classic)? The soundtrack had no such difficulties; the album release went Top 20 on the charts, won a Grammy nomination, and Cher's performance of 'You Haven't Seen the Last of Me' won a Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song. Aguilera's star turn was something of a coming-out party, too; not only did she e

In Burlesque, Yoga, Sex and Love: A Memoir of Life under the Albuquerque Sun, author Anne Key invites us to walk along the glittery, rhinestone-encrusted path of self-discovery as she confronts, and transcends, the established norms for middle-aged women. Set in picturesque Albuquerque, New Mexico, this memoir explores what it means to connect the body, mind and spirit through the practices of yoga and burlesque. By the end of the book, you will find yourself traveling outside the shadowy corners of fear and toward a brighter light where there is freedom to be found in accepting yourself and in learning to love what you find. This memoir shows that there's much to discover about femininity, power and sexuality through burlesque as an art form. - Miss Indigo Blue, Headmistress of The Academy of Burlesque In this thoroughly readable memoir, Anne explores her growth as a burlesque performer and sexual being, challenging the preconceived ideas of what an aging woman can do and be, thereby reinventing the "New Woman" for a modern era. - Dr. Lynn Sally, Director of Urban Studies at Metropolitan College What a fascinating glimpse into a world, unknown to most of us, where sexuality and spirituality intersect! Anne Key's honest, open portrayal of her journey, with all its ups and downs, is a gift to every woman. - Jalaja Bonheim, Aphrodite's Daughters and The Sacred Ego: Making Peace with Ourselves and Our World In her engaging new memoir, Anne Key guides her readers into the mysteries of pasties and tassels, glitter and thongs, and the magic that happens when a woman of daring, sensuality, and imagination takes off--and puts on--the costumes and characters she creates. Her story is rich in reflection on what it means to be a woman, a priestess, a sexual being, a unique self. -- Elizabeth Cunningham, The Maeve Chronicles

After the Second World War, Vancouver emerged as a hotbed of striptease talent. In Burlesque West,the first critical history of this notorious striptease scene, Becki Ross delves into the erotic entertainment industry at the northern end of the dancers' west coast tour - the North-South route from Los Angeles to Vancouver that provided rotating work for dancers and variety for club clientele. Drawing on extensive archival materials and fifty first-person accounts of former dancers, strip-club owners, booking agents, choreographers, and musicians, Ross reveals stories that are deeply flavoured with an era before "striptease fell from grace because the world stopped dreaming," in the words of ex-dancer Lindalee Tracey. Though jobs in this particular industry are often perceived as having little in common with other sorts of work, retired dancers' accounts resonate surprisingly with those of contemporary service workers, including perceptions of unionization and workplace benefits and hazards. Ross also traces the sanitization and subsequent integration of striptease style and neo-burlesque trends into mass culture, examining continuity and change to ultimately demonstrate that Vancouver's glitzy nightclub scene, often condemned as a quasi-legal strain of urban blight, in fact greased the economic engine of the post-war city. Provocative and challenging, Burlesque West combines the economic, the social, the sexual, and the personal, and is sure to intellectually tantalize.

On one side, Dita Von Teese shares the beauty of the burlesque world, with bubblegum dreams and show tunes to strip to. Flip over for fantasies in fetish with dramatic costumes and the allure of submission.Burlesque and the Art of the Teese"I advocate glamour. Every day. Every minute." I'm a good dancer and a nice girl, but I'm a great showgirl. I sell, in a word, magic. Burlesque is a world of illusion and dreams and of course, the striptease. Whether I am bathing in my martini glass, riding my sparkling carousel horse, or emerging from my giant gold powder compact, I live out my most glamorous fantasies by bringing nostalgic imagery to life. Let me show you my world of gorgeous pin-ups, tantalizing stripteases, and femmes fatales. I'll give you a glimpse into my life, but a lady never reveals all.Fetish and the Art of the TeeseYou may have come for the fetish. Or you may just be sneaking a peek at this mysterious and peculiar other side. No matter what you've come for, there is something for you to indulge in.My world of fetish may not be the one that you would expect. As a burlesque performer, I entice my audience, bringing their minds closer and closer to sex and then -- as good temptress must -- snatching it away. As a fetish star, I apply the same techniques. . . . An opera-length kid leather glove, a strict wasp waist, an impossibly high patent leather heel, a severely painted red lip. . . . Come with me into my world of decadent fetishism.

Burlesque In a Nutshell is a fresh, behind-the-scenes peek into the personal and effervescent lives in the world of Burlesque. The readers are invited “inside “for an up-close and intimate story of friendships and confidences, heartbreaks, laughter and strange quirks. Rather than the usual account of those involved in the history of Burlesque; the strip-stars and comics are taken off the marquees, and delivered as accessible people with fascinating experiences. Early Burlesque was Vaudeville’s off-spring. It grew to become an integral part of America’s history. It was a launch pad for many talented well-known comedians. It offered inexpensive, and well-needed diversion from the depression and the second world war. Burlesque inadvertently affected, and changed society’s views on the art of entertainment. This book is written to honor, and reveal the real profession of Burlesque. It was a time, when Burlesque was a tasteful tease, with a wink and a wiggle. When audiences howled at the zany antics of the baggy-pants comics, and ogled the cute chorus gals. A time when, Burlesque Queens wooed us with fabulous fans and fantastic costumes, and glided across the stage, accompanied by a full orchestra. All this, in the grandeur of a Minsky’s Theatre. This book is meant to be a portal into that long gone era.

Though burlesque has survived in the back of our cultural consciousness after being pushed aside by modern stripping in the ’50s, the revival that began in the early ’90s has finally brought burlesque back to the forefront of popular culture.Evolving from an underground movement to a nearly mainstream fetish, neo-burlesque embraces a wide variety of modern interpretations all based on the classic bump and grind and “taking it off” with a wink and a smile. From classic tributes to punk rock revisionists, women of all ages, sizes, and backgrounds are rediscovering burlesque and reinventing it. A sense of heightened imagination, empowerment and energy are being delivered to the stage, perhaps even more so than during the historic heyday, the Golden Age of Burlesque.Slipping behind the scene, Burlesque and the New Bump-n-Grind undresses the issues of feminism, modern popularity, and what exactly draws the unique and varied audience members to the shows. The women—and men!—of burlesque also receive their fleshed-out dues by a categorized peek into the various troupe styles including classical, re-creationists, revivalists, modern, circus, performance art, political, queer, bawdy singers and comics.Peppered throughout the book are full-color and black-and-white photographs that fully instill the picturesque dance into the reader’s mind.Founder of one of the first neo-burlesque troupes, author Michelle Baldwin (a.k.a, Vivienne Va-Voom) has helped to bring the lost art of burlesque back to the forefront of pop culture. Baldwin has served as the creative director, choreographer, music director, costumer, financial head, and performer for her troupe, “Burlesque As It Was.” Her deep immersion into this art form has provided her with a rare view into the growth and evolution of the revival.
