gorgeous - By: Cherry Lamore, 05 May 2008
this book is like a box of expensive chocolates, each page is a delight. i was totallly over the moon with this book, as an owner of many many books on the suject i wondered if i needed another one but this is a reallly beautiful, delightful read, a great exploration of nouveaux burlesque. Its also nice to see so many lovely british performers flying the flag too! great
Utterly utterly gorgeous book - By: , 12 May 2005
As a long time fan & beginner performer of burlesque I was so excited when this book arrived. My friends didnt see me for the rest of the day, so wrapped up was I in the stunning imagery & informed text of the tome!
There is a perfect balance between the history & the aesthetic of burlesque & with plenty of deatail of current artists & troupes it was an real inspiration. The text is very up to date & with the current resurgence of burlesque & strip-tease with a wink & a smile I believe this book to be an invaluble resource for anyone interested or indeed consumed by it.
Performers, pop culturalist, historians, designers, decadents & anyone charmed by the swish of a Sallly Rand fan dance will revel in this book!
