Burlesque was never naked. You'd see large feathers and fans and legs and back but NEVER a breast or pubic area. It was an art. A dying art around the 60's...but the beginning of "go-go girls". There was a definite difference between stripper shows and burlesque shows.

Rent the movie "Gypsy" with Rosalynn (sp?) Russell and Natalie Wood to see the best burlesque show and how it grew. Gypsy Rose Lee was one of the most famous feather/fan dancers of her time!
