Sparkly tassels on my boobs!

This is totally unrelated to anything gal but I'm so excited about this that I most post it!

So for a while now I have been thinking of getting into different types of dance dance styles such as belly dancing and Burlesque! I have been looking for classes and groups for the St.louis and Chicago area's. I found a few but alas lack of money is preventing me from taking any kind of extra class. One day though I will be in them.

Today was an extra special day b/c I found out that my college is starting up a Burlesque organization! I literally flipped shit! My excitement is over 9000!!!! I know, I know this isn't a class type thing but anything regarding it where I can learn more about it I'm all down for!!

(Quick terms: 


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.


Neo-Burlesque (or "New Burlesque") is the revival and updating of the traditional burlesque performance. Though based on the traditional Burlesque art, the new form encompasses a wider range of performance styles; Neo-burlesque acts can be anything from classic striptease to modern dance to theatrical mini-dramas to comedic mayhem. As with the earlier burlesque, neo-burlesque is more focused on the "tease" in "striptease" than the "strip". Audiences for neo-burlesque shows tend to be mixed gender, age, race, and class.

I have been on a Burlesque kick lately too! Watching vids on youtube and finding pictures. I even found some pics of women of color in Burlesque as well. You don't see too many pics of black, hispanic and asian burlesque dancers! Especially from back in the day!
