The idea of a singing modern day burlesque troupe has been poorly executed by The Pussycat Dolls (only one member actually can sing) but I have big ideas to start a burlesque femcee troupe. Kicks and corsets is what jumped out of my friend's (Ran-D one half of The Jump Rope) mouth the other day over coffee when I was sharing burlesque class stories, seems we were on the same page. It's perfectly wedged between my two style obsessions... (no pasties sorry),and I think it would be cool to spit a mean verse posed upside down on a folding chair.
Tricks, kicks AND CORSETS.
The world of burlesque is associated with old music, vintage costumes and cutesy/cheeky persona attached, it would be interesting to put a hardcore "bitch" spin on it and maybe cut out some of those "Oopsy doopsy I just popped" faces.
Of course props to Kim for absolutely mincing a track in an air constricting corset and a suffocating wig (it's like a ballet concert all over again! I can feel the itching!) She's truly committed to a costume.
Oh and I didn't even go into the gory details of burlesque, after my first lesson my thighs were painted with hardcore bruises, I looked like a street fighter and quite frankly I enjoyed it.
So... wouldn't that just make the whole thing more "gangsta"?
kidding kidding... bruises are not an upside to the art.
