- It’s basically glitter cardio. Who needs the gym when you’ve got sequins and shimmying?
- Pasties were invented to outsmart censors. Nothing says “creative genius” like rhinestones on tape.
- Feathers are a big deal. If a peacock and a Vegas showgirl had a lovechild, it’d be a burlesque costume.
- “Burlesque” means parody. So yes, we’re basically sexy comedians with better outfits.
- Corsets are like hugs… but meaner. Tight, supportive, and slightly judgmental.
- We do our own stunts. Glitter explosions? Choreographed fan flips? All us.
- Stage names are serious business. “Sassy Von Sparklepants” almost made the cut for me.
- Everything takes longer than you think. That costume you love? It took three weeks and one existential crisis to make.
- You don’t need to know how to dance. You just need confidence (or fake it till you make it).
- Burlesque is for EVERY body. If you have a body, you can burlesque. Period.
