Why don't you want to look on amazon? They have the most video selection there? Amazon sells Striptease-The Greatest Exotic Dancers video. I have that video- it has alot of the big names in it. You could also do a search for "burlesque videos" on ebay. I looked that up a few months ago and some things came up then.
We have no idea what you have found and bought on EBAY or Amazon so we have no way to direct you to other sources. List what you have and we'll go from there.
Check out They have vintage Betty Page, Lily St.Cyr, Tempest Storm, etc. They also have some vintage footage from old burlesque clubs in black and white. I purchased several from them and have had a great time watching them. It's amazing how tame this stuff is now.
Yeah, Something Weird has a ton of stuff. <plug> including the modern day version, Shine on Sweet Starlet, with yours truly, and Broad Daylight, with plenty of modern performers.</plug>
On Ebay just search for "burleque" in videos and plenty of things will pop up.
i've gotten several something weird videos off my Netflix subscription (which i don't know what i'd do without). they don't get very good ratings on the site, but i love them! great primary source material.
I recently saw an ad for a documentary on burlesque that was to be aired in the near future on either HBO or Showtime .
I wasnt the person asking but, thanks for the info on the "something weird" site, it looks to have some good stuff.

Go to and search the film collections. They have plenty, and they're free to download.
