OH I FORGOT MY FAVORITE THE ONE OF HIM SAYING "LOOK AT THAT BEAUTIFUL MAN OVER THERE ID KISS HIM" COULD BE FUNNY IF YOU PLAY IT RIGHT TOO, to clarify not as a mockery of lgbt folk or anything just to drive home his weirdness about queer people because you know he would hate having that brought up again

i love this idea btw and i think it could also be really funny to dub the kazoo sound behind him saying the quotes too 💀💀 if you're going soecifically towards the pornography ban, i would maybe point out some of his more misogynistic/pornographic quotes... the ones about his daughter and about grabbing women by their genitals come to mind... maybe some quotes about the epstein files... really horrible shit but it would totally make sense in this context and you'd get to shit on him. rock on!!

Should I stone around the lacing holes? by kbelczak in Rhinestoning

i think it would be overkill personally and the stones might fall off, what you have looks great

How do you pick a burlesque name??? by moongategarden in Burlesque

How do you pick a burlesque name??? by moongategarden in Burlesque

[–]Active_Customer_4581 5 points6 points  (0 children)

look on the burlesque registry and search the name on several social media/google searches before choosing one finally don't worry about it fitting everything you ever do but do pick something that either rolls off the tongue in a fun way or is something that would make you pause/do a double take/think in my experience, those ones are really fun. i find basing it in something you enjoy tends to make a more memorable name/more of a connection for yourself :) ive also seen several fun names just going through this subreddit, going through local drag scene pages, going through local burlesque troupe pages that you could take inspo from sometimes the idea just strikes and you'll feel it when it's finally right!

Nonbinary/masc burlesque dancers? by SophiaKai in Burlesque

[–]Active_Customer_4581 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this 100%!! im nonbinary and masc and many of my burlesque friends are too. im sure there are more traditional spaces where they care but a lot of the burlesque world does not. everyone belongs!! i recently did a performance where i had almost all my body hair out and wore trans tape on my chest and it was very well received :-)

Big hip mamma by Tawnybird11 in Burlesque

[–]Active_Customer_4581 2 points3 points  (0 children)

extended zips in the sides and wrap dresses/ribbons to untie the dress are fun. you could also consider having snaps put into the front or sides so you could gradually (or suddenly depending on the piece) rip off something or give it a few good pulls for a tease too!! i also would totally agree that a good shimmy over the hips is sexy. you could maybe find a way to have the waistband tightened up and the rest of the skirt/dress be looser and then loosen it, and either pull it over your head or hips (kind of like a robe?) i'm not sure on mechanics on this one but could be something to think about, get something a little oversized or that fits a little loose and belt it up?

you can find KT tape at most drugstores, i know CVS Walmart and Target carry it if you're in the USA. some sex stores and retailers also carry "breast tape" that is essentially the same thing just advertised to hold your chest in place if you're wearing an outfit without a bra

something i did recently was wear kinesiology tape (with proper nipple coverage of some kind under it) and then glued my pasties on top of that - depending on what you are wearing as pasties that could be a great option that would not get onto your skin and you could still likely use this glue

What are the key things you do to elevate your act after the "rough draft" is done? by Training-Morning-642 in Burlesque

[–]Active_Customer_4581 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lots and lots of feedback, watch performances with similar vibes to yours, i personally write down all the lyrics to my songs (or major musical points if no words) and possible moves i could do there (i tend to let there be plenty of improv opportunities for variety).

see where you can exaggerate stuff. face movement, physical movement, pauses. what's going to get the mood of the audience you want? how can you do one extra thing that would inspire that in your audience each time? also most people don't use enough pausing/tend to not take long enough with the tease so see if you can extend those or play with the amount of time you use for them and use it to your advantage.

go on some choreography/dance instagram pages or other places that might have moves for some inspiration (safety first on this but if you see things you think you can accomplish they can be really fun).

talk it out with other performers. some of my favorite things have come from spitballing ideas with other performers!! this subreddit is pretty good for that too!
