She Dances without Clothes

Photos of burlesque dancers throughout New York City and New Orleans.

I don't know how far back the art of burlesque goes but I know that it's entertained generations of men and women. The first time I saw a show was probably in the mid 2000s at some late night party, in the bowels of Brooklyn. It was probably dimly lit in close quarters. I was probably drunk too. The scenario may not have been so different than what perhaps my grandparents experienced so many years ago. 

These photos were made throughout New York City and New Orleans.

Burlesque and a Helluva Dance Party at Spitfire, NOLA

Combining the classic dance party and burlesque, a raw, fun party went down during the early-ish evening hours in the French Quarter at Spitfire

Combining the classic dance party and burlesque, a raw, fun party went down during the early-ish evening hours in the French Quarter at Spitfire. DJ Bunny and co. played a great set and Gogo McGregor and Roxie le Rouge of Big Deal Burlesque provided the fleshy entertainment. 

I hadn't considered doing a mini photo essay while I was there so I'm just going to leave these photographs right here for every one to enjoy.
