    also look up Burlesque videos on YouTube

    It isn't that hard and it is all in the details with Burlesque:

    Costume, Make-Up and Props. The actual performance is the easy part IMO.

    You can use hula hoops, feather fans, fire, etc etc.

    You also have to ask them are they looking for actual Burlesque (which isn't nearly as "explicit" and all about being classy basically) or are they looking to do a "stripper" version of Burlesque?

    You do not have to stick with the "classics" for Burlesque music. You can do it to whatever song(s) you please...

    Also with the costumes, think BLING, think SPARKLE. So something as simple as a School Girl outfit can be Burlesque if you add a bit of sparkle to it.

    I'd love to hear if it helps your club business or not. I think it sounds like fun.

    And your picture is really sexy.

    I'm the one who wrote the costuming post in the blog linked above.

    False eyelashes and glitter makeup--the kind the customers don't want on them--are great burlesque makeup standards.

    Honestly, if you're only doing one or two feature acts and you're not part of a large number of burlesque or feature performers, you can have great effect with minimal costuming. At a burlesque festival you'd have to do way more to stand out since everyone would be in that style, but if only a few people in the club are in boas, gloves, fishnets, top hats, and bustiers, they'll stand out. And I would avoid too much black as it defeats the purpose of standing out--it tends to blend in at night in a club, and might give a goth appearance (although that can be a plus, depending on your style).

    If your boss is thinking Pussycat Dolls style, that's soooooo easy! just search for them on youtube. Pink and black with ribbons on your hips, maybe a hat, fishnet thigh highs, maybe fingerless gloves, and knee-high stiletto boots, and that's about it.

    My handbook, which is available on my site, has instructions for how to make pasties and twirl the tassels.

    Hi, check out the atomic cowboy on youtube. We have a great burlesque show every month.
    Do you mind if I ask where you work?
    I'm the type of person that would only show up on mondays to do my act.
