So, I just wanted to thank you for this wonderful article! I ran across it while searching for articles that expressed the difference b/w Burlesque and Stripping. I cited your article and made reference to this wonderful site for more information. Many people, as you make mention, are very unaware of what Burlesque is, especially here in NC where I live and perform. This piece was excellently written and useful!
