Hi SWs--I'm part of a panel on burlesque at CUNY on Wednesday, and I'm asking various people what they think of when people ask what the differences are between burlesque and strip joint stripping so that I can add them to the presentation I have already planned. If you have a moment, I'd love to get a few sentences of your reaction to the question. This is a topic that can bring up some serious issues and I'm not looking for the controversy, just the most common reactions.
For my purposes, your comments may be useful to me even if I don't like them. If you don't think there's any difference, that's useful too. I'm trying to show a bit of the diversity of opinions on this subject, but almost anything can be helpful. If you do answer, please briefly describe your experiences with both burlesque and strip joints--I can't use your comments for my presentation if you don't.
If you want to, you can comment here or send me a PM or email. I'd really appreciate it! And if you help me out, I'll be happy to send you a PDF copy of my pastie-making patterns and instructions.
Here's a link to some info about the panel:

). I used to work in this bar in brooklyn where they would have regular burly-q and often they (I won't name names) would drone on over the mic about how they were *not* strippers. godforbid!
