Black Orchid Burlesque Beauties...



...I know a few of these amazingly beautiful ladies personally, the founders in particular. This is what Diva DisaStar (featured above) told me:

Burlesque is defined in many ways, depending on who you speak to. Burlesque became popular between 1900-1940, during the era of speak-easy parties, the Moulin Rouge and origins of Vaudeville entertainment. Black Orchid Burlesque believes that Burlesque is the art of theatrical teese, where the emphasis is not on the revealing of skin, but rather the concealing of a woman's curves in order to captivate an audience. I started Black Orchid Burlesque about 3 years ago, with my partner in crime, Scar-Lit Hearts, where we discovered we both had a passion for this glamorous art-form.At that point there was no-one in the country doing this, and we thought that maybe it was time to invoke curiosity in our local audiences and offer an alternative source of entertainment for the sophisticated viewer. We incorporate traditional Burlesque with Neo-Burlesque to produce a performance that is both sensual and tongue-in-cheek. Burlesque is both entertaining for the audience, and empowering for the performer. We encourage women of all shapes and sizes to embrace their sensuality and love their curves!
