The next article will talk about the makeup and clothes of dancers ~
First of all, burlesque is an authentic French word. Its original meaning is not nightclub at all, but farce. The more traditional French farce has basically disappeared, and the specific style is to criticize the shortcomings with extremely exaggerated performances. Can't find a particularly good picture, you can refer to the following one.
However, after the word was borrowed by Americans, its meaning changed completely, and it became biased towards early Broadway songs and dances, as well as' Shanghai Paramount' style dance halls, dance halls and dancers. Or a nightclub. Further, it became striptease (non-erotic).
For more details, please refer to the film "Humor" released by Cher and christina aguilera on 20 10. The translation of Douban's movie entries is a farce, which is incorrect in my personal opinion, but the dancer club is more suitable. This is a film with good visual effect, which is worth seeing.
Having said that, we should start from its source-France. At the earliest in France, there were some' ballroom entertainment places' that existed in the upper class, such as' nightclubs' (non-contemporary nightclubs) (Divan Japonais (Japanese sofa), Les Folies Bergère (crazy shepherd) and Le Chat Noir (black cat) posters), which used to be upper class theaters and later developed into professional cinemas. Of course, it refers to the night theater.
Posters of black cats are probably the most famous, and postcards made of them still appear on stalls in the streets of Paris. That's why. . That cat is not cute at all. It makes sense that it is still so popular after so many years.
As for the most famous nightclubs in Paris now, Moulin Rouge and Crazy Horse Song and Dance Show Club can't escape ~
Then talk about famous dancers. The previous headlines were boring, mostly just "A famous dancer became a famous writer" and "A dancer embarked on the road of performing arts". It is worth mentioning that the dancers of that year led the fashion trend. For example, La Belle Otéro (beautiful Odero) has her works in the Evolution of Fashion Photography that I wrote before. She works for the Crazy Shepherd Club.
It is worth mentioning that most nightclubs at that time were full of obscene and low-level performances. (To prevent harmonious deletion of posts, please make up your brain). I'm afraid these lovely eyes can't be seen everywhere in the photo.
In modern times, striptease and lap dancing have become the mainstream. Dita Von Teese is probably the most familiar stripper. She is plump, sexy, retro and beautiful, and there is really no more praise.
The performance of "Dirty Martini Club" was even lent by karl lagerfeld, a fashion galeries lafayette, to shoot a series of blockbusters. If you search this club, you will find it. . . Lots of super fat girls, but super sexy. .
Finally, there is unconfirmed news, that is, perhaps the dancers' performances and the huge wings of the Victoria's Secret angels when they walk the catwalk are actually the trends led by a dancer named Sally Rand in the 1940s. Although it was a performance with XX meaning, most of the dancers in those days were as pure as hibiscus. .
Some people, not to mention their time and background, can really be called artists.
