She murked it <click it! Do it! Do it nowww!
I don’t know if it’s me or the weather, ok, no…I know for a fact that it’s me but I loveeee Burlesque!
I spent my day on youtube watching Burlesque videos all day then I decided to look up “Black Burlesque Dancers” because I know that everyone already knows about fyne ass Dita..mmm mm mm…
Anyways, I came across Black Pearl and all I could do is just say, in my local gump voice, “WERRRRRK BISH!” Like seriously, she clowned. I could not take my eyes away from my screen and I loved it! Every moment was so, I don’t really know but im going to say that it was hott, yes, I know I said HOTT, deal with it.
I am really thinking hard about making this apart of my bucket list people, I think that the art itself is so daring and empowering to women. I love the fact that I am seeing REAL women with REAL bodies doing this art, that’s so hard to come by in the days of bootyshots and plastic tits (cmonnn 2012!)
Oh, side note for those who are unfamiliar about Burlesque dance (no my nigga,it’s not JUST a movie..smh) here is a brief history fo dat ass..(cough cough, clears throat…insert nasty head giving joke here…annnnd here we go…)
Burlesque is a literary, dramatic or musical work intended to cause laughter by caricaturing the manner or spirit of serious works, or by ludicrous treatment of their subjects.The word derives from the Italian burlesco, which itself derives from the Italian burla – a joke, ridicule or mockery.
Burlesque overlaps in meaning with caricature, parody and travesty, and, in its theatrical sense, with extravaganza, as presented during the Victorian era. “Burlesque” has been used in English in this literary and theatrical sense since the late 17th century. It has been applied retrospectively to works of Chaucer and Shakespeare and to the Graeco-Roman classics.Contrasting examples of literary burlesque are Alexander Pope‘s sly The Rape of the Lock and Samuel Butler‘s irreverent Hudibras. An example of musical burlesque is Richard Strauss‘s 1890 Burleske for piano and orchestra. Examples of theatrical burlesques include W. S. Gilbert‘s Robert the Devil and the A. C. Torr – Meyer Lutz shows, including Ruy Blas and the Blasé Roué.
A later use of the term, particularly in the United States, refers to performances in a variety show format. These were popular from the 1860s to the 1940s, often in cabarets and clubs, as well as theatres, and featured bawdy comedy and female striptease. Some Hollywood films attempted to recreate the spirit of these performances from the 1930s to the 1960s, or included burlesque-style scenes within dramatic films, such as 1972’s Cabaret (film) and 1979’s All That Jazz, among others. There has been a resurgence of interest in this format since the 1990s.
In recent decades, there has been a revival of burlesque. A new generation, nostalgic for the spectacle and perceived glamour of the classic American burlesque, developed a cult following for the art in the early 1990s at Billie Madley’s “Cinema” and later at the “Dutch Weismann’s Follies” revues in New York City, “The Velvet Hammer” troupe in Los Angeles, and The Shim-Shamettes in New Orleans. Notable Neo-burlesque performers include Dita Von Teese, and Julie Atlas Muz and Agitprop groups like Cabaret Red Light incorporated political satire and performance art into their burlesque shows.
