Visual History of Burlesque in the 1950s
Today, burlesque is nothing short of an art form. Burlesque has historic roots in America's minstrel culture, dating as far back as the 1840s. However, the version we know today -- a marriage of vaudevillian humor and striptease -- became popular in the early 1900s, when (mostly women) performers took to clubs and Broadway venues with their own brand of music, dance and provocative nudity. The era of #Prohibition took a toll on the burlesque industry, as teetotaling politicians and authority figures took issue with both the performers and club owners that made burlesque possible. Thankfully, the genre bit back in the 1950s, as women like Sally Rand, Gypsy Rose Lee, Tempest Storm, Lili St. Cyr, and Blaze Starr emerged as boundary-pushing icons. @HuffingtonPost dove into the photographic archives to showcase a visual taste of burlesque in the 1950s. Here is a short, but effortlessly stunning look (slideshow) into a decade of body love on stage. We ended the slideshow with #DitaVonTeese, modern day burlesque dancer in the list, because no burlesque list is complete without her! ENJOY!
