    Default Burlesque at the club - HELP!!!

    Not sure if I'm posting this in the right place, so Mods feel free to move if necessary. I'd like to get as much feedback as possible though. )

    As part of our club's legal issues after the new 'city' annexed us, we now have to do shows (currently once every two hours, probably once an hour later on - from what I can tell.)) From what I understand, we are technically a theatre/museum - but don't quote me on that...

    Anyways, there has been a big push toward having little 'featurette' shows, burlesque-style, and though I can easily go more theatrical with my dancing - I'm more of a strip-tease type and so I was asked to what I was planning on doing. Costuming/old school references are proving challenging, though.

    I have a number of friends in the burlesque community here, but since my job is under wraps., I don't really want to out myself and ask for help. Add in the 'Stripping is Whoredom' mentality that many burlesque dancers have as REAL feminists, and I'm at a bit of a loss...

    I'm really looking for more ideas for costumes and visual references than anything. Can you help me spice up my performance so I can help support my club?

    Google Dita Von Teese. Or just Burlesque. And Trashy.com has amazing burlesque style lingerie/costumes.

    While I appreciate your input, that doesn't really help me. I'm familiar with burlesque and Dita - and google.

    I suppose I was hoping that someone else on here had input, visually speaking, on the evolution from the 1920s-30s to strip clubs as we know them know. I'm not looking for neo-burlesque.

    Think feature dancers instead of burlesque. Do shows that involve hot wax or ice cubes or similar. Match your music to the tone of your shows. Heavy metal or goth music if you are doing darker themes, pop music for school girl style themes. Techno music can feel very sci-fi or futuristic.

    Here's a pretty good depiction of what I'm trying to describe:

    Here's another I found of actual strippers and not just Pole dancers:
