Welcome to the burlesque pinups section kittens. The burlesque and pinup worlds have long been linked, Our lady Betty Page often worked alongside burlesque greats like Tempest Storm and Lili St Cyr.
It is in the pin-up girl's nature to be drawn to glamour, theatrics and all that sparkles and you don't get more glam than burlesque.
Whether classic or neo, a burlesque show contains all the key ingredients of the perfect pinup...
Glamour
Poise
Tease
Humour
and a bold and empowered female sexuality.

Personally I adore Burlesque and can frequently be found at burlesque shows getting inspiration for my artworks (as well as simply having a great time kittens!) The self possessed power and grace of a great performer gives her an aura glowing with beauty and sensuality...match that with fabulous costumes, hair, makeup, heels and corsets and you have something really special.
It is a look that exists on its own, it is the dark side of the cheesecake pinups style. So take a walk on the wild side today.
