Burlesque Movie
The Burlesque Movie Premiered in London on the 13th December and was released on the 17th December.
The trailer look fabulous, check it out below!
One thing I really love about this movie is that it shows the variety of different costumes that can be worn for a burlesque evening. You will see sailors, cabaret acts, 40s style flapper hairdos, top hats and pearls… Plus of course dancing and colour and action.
While the original burlesque was related to comedy and entertainment, it later became known for striptease. But I always think there is more emphasis on the tease than the strip!
You’ll find a variety of burlesque DVDs if you are looking for costume ideas: Burlesque DVDs on Amazon.co.uk

Here’s the storyline from the movie written by someone at IMDB:
The Burlesque Lounge has its best days behind it. Tess, a retired dancer and owner of the venue, struggles to keep the aging theater alive, facing all kinds of financial and artistic challenges. With the Lounge’s troupe members becoming increasingly distracted by personal problems and a threat coming from a wealthy businessman’s quest to buy the spot from Tess, the good fortune seems to have abandoned the club altogether. Meanwhile, the life of Ali, a small-town girl from Iowa, is about to change dramatically. Hired by Tess as a waitress at the Lounge, Ali escapes a hollow past and quickly falls in love with the art of burlesque. Backed by newfound friends amongst the theater’s crew, she manages to fulfill her dreams of being on stage herself. Things take a dramatic turn though when Ali’s big voice makes her become the main attraction of the revue.
