Andee 220524 Report post Posted March 28, 2011 The movie Burlesque has I believed, rekindled an interest in this wonderful art form. I was speaking with a friend of mine who is now in her 60s who told me when she used to what was called a "strip tease" and that it was classy, sassy and real entertainment. She said she spent a fortune on costumes and weeks perfecting her routines, but it was worth it. It was burlesque. It would be great to see some live Burlesque without having to break the bank to fly to Las Vegas or somewhere similar. Anyone know where to catch modern-day burlesque show (here in Ottawa, would be great). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nathalie L 112512 Report post Posted April 13, 2011 There's also a group in Ottawa called "The Muffin Tops" - similar to Rockalily Burlesque - but I haven't seem them around in a while. Has anyone else seen a show by them in the past year? When Rockalily started to get popular in Ottawa they sort of fell off the map... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

curious2 323 Report post Posted April 15, 2011 There's also a group in Ottawa called "The Muffin Tops" I've heard it said before that the difference between strippers and burlesque performers is about 40 pounds, and that name sounds like there's some truth to that! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oogabooga 284 Report post Posted May 11, 2011 I've seen a few in town and they vary in production value greatly. The best I'd ever seen was Rockalily a year ago, but their best dancers are now with Capital Tease. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
