Everything else was Cabaret. Had they called it anything else, there would be no controversy over it. With that said, and being a classical Burlesque performer... I liked the Candy Fluff of a film it was. I see many of those gimmicks hitting the stage in the near future. Over all, the shows that Cher's characters produced were not Burlesque.Lolita Hazehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04348826614712363322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5465295746865231888.post-5226175715831093452010-12-08T17:41:53.555-05:002010-12-08T17:41:53.555-05:00Welcome back!

As is the case with most aspects of our culture, this film involved sequences in which the girls pretty much just wore revealing costumes and gyrated around, as opposed to acts involving one performer "teasing" the audience with what was hidden as much as what was ultimately shown via a more gradual costume removal, leading to a final "reveal".BaronessVonVintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09329735134543431231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5465295746865231888.post-91439941467171811052010-12-08T16:58:33.052-05:002010-12-08T16:58:33.052-05:00I watched Gypsy as a child with Natalie Wood.

Within this, I do think only a small handful of numbers in the film would fall into the category of "burlesque" (there is a sort of acrobatic scene involving a banana and Alan Cummings dressed sort of like Joel Grey from Cabaret that comes to mind, as well as the number I've mentioned in this post. Otherwise, I thought many of the acts seemed like Pussy Cat Dolls type MTV routines...and to me, that aint burlesque!BaronessVonVintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09329735134543431231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5465295746865231888.post-70379656565333366912010-12-08T16:12:33.296-05:002010-12-08T16:12:33.296-05:00I think Burlesque is a live performance that is ri...I think Burlesque is a live performance that is risqué, something that challenges accepted norms with a cheeky/flirty/fun attitude. I think the best burlesque involves wild costumes, humour, satire and elements of cabaret stage performances (dancing, choreography, side show). I don't think good burlesque ever looks trashy. It's sexy, mysterious, and alluring without being the 'town bicycle'.Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00194377195538957523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5465295746865231888.post-38802744177429918242010-12-08T16:00:01.192-05:002010-12-08T16:00:01.192-05:00Welcome back!
