Putting the Ease in Tease
A woman removing their clothes off for a bit of titillation is nothing new, since clothes went on people have enjoyed watching them come off. However, women have not been the target audience of choice since it has normally been girls who strip, but something has been occurring over the last few years that is altering all of that. Neo Burlesque as it is being branded has taken the art of seduction and teasing into the mainstream and everyone loves it particularly women.
Burlesque has been described as the tease over the strip and really this is why women love it so much, it takes the concept of taking your clothes off away from seedy venues and red light districts and puts it firmly in theatre and art. Although most of the clothes are removed, not all, it is a show rather than just a woman getting her kit off and it uses accessories, props and glamour everything a girl loves.
Embracing the Female Form
Burlesque in not an art form that is exclusively for skinny young things either, killer curves and a bit of bawdiness make the show all the more exciting! Although it involves women stripping to their smalls, normally a g string and some fantastically sparkly pasties, it is about female power and the women being in control.
Artisits like Dita Von Teese and Miss Dirty Martini are two examples of females who in spite of their opposite figures delight audiences with their sexy ways. Miss Von Teese has a tiny hour glass shape and is a big fan of corsetry and tight lacing while Miss Martini has car crash curves that a Rubens model would be proud of! But that is the joy of burlesque it celebrates all types of woman because it is about embracing sexuality and femininity, exuding confidence and appreciating the female form.
The At Home Show
You don’t need to be a size six or a professional star to embrace the fun of burlesque just a sense of humour and some really super lingerie! Why not give it a try at home?, first set the scene why not scatter rose petals around the room, mood lighting goes without saying and a bit of perfume hanging in the air creates the prefect bedroom atmosphere. Then the all important soundtrack, pick something that makes you feel a little naughty and that you can move to!
Onto the fun stuff! Time to pick your lingerie, you should wear something that makes you feel super sexy whether that is pasties and a thong or a simple camisole! Then you need the covering outfit something luxurious that you can take off easily and of course lots of accessories including gloves and feather boas. As far as make up and hair go you can go retro like many of the burlesque stars with a slick of red lipstick and some soft curls or you can simply wear your favourite Saturday night combo that makes you feel brazen and up for some fun!
Then you are ready to go, why not practice the routine a few times before you showcase it then you can feel super confident that it go well! Plus you get to strut around in fantastic clothes and have a laugh what is no to love?!
Burlesque is great fun, just choose the right sexy lingerie and away you go. Penthouse Lingerie have a great retro 50’s syle range for you to choose from.
