Striptease vs Pole Dancing vs Burlesque

3 Aug 2009

I'm a great fan of good old fashioned down to earth raunchy striptease, as for instance practised by London's supreme stripper - Mouse - but what seems to have happened in recent years is that this has been swamped out by pole dancing and burlesque, nothing wrong with these two activities in themselves - but they're not the full monty.
Most pole dancing is very cliched with peroxide blond girls with orange tans and fake tits doing standardised moves to crap music, and the burlesque lot are too prissy to get their kit off and proffer their rude femininity in its full glory.
Compare this with a good stripper who is comfortable with and proud of flaunting her womanhood, and there is no contest !
Rant over ! What do you think ?

Sometimes sexy is about what you DON'T see as opposed to what you do wink

Give me the Burlesque talents of Miss Von Teese over a stripper or pole dancer anyday of the week :twisted:

I think some of the 'standardised moves' involved in pole dancing are actually a lot harder to do well than you may imagine ... becomes abundantly clear when someone with no experience gets up on stage and tries some of them (badly) wink

Mouse? Don't think you ae but are you talking about the one who squirts milk from her fanny into the audience? Saw her perform once at AC, certainly a niche act and a novelty but not sure how much talent is involved ...
Burlesque - very fashionable at the moment but a lot of crap acts on the scene to be honest. I find Ditta V T a bit vacuous myself though there's no denying her contribution to the revival.

Yes - that's the Mouse ! I think she is very talented and has also made her own vids( web; carryonmouse), and is a very lovely lady with it.
Dita looks as if she has been silicone "enhanced" and is somewhat cliched.
There also used to be a good French stripper on the London scene called Babbi who was very raunchy & flirty, and a black lady called Shahida with a great shimmy.
