The Burlesque community likes their women to be shaped like women....

Check out some of today’s neo-burlesque performers, namely Ms. Dirty Martini. She’s not tiny by any means, & yet she performs with confidence. She’s an amazing person & someone I admire greatly. I ain’t exactly tiny, if you know what I’m saying, & I take classes every chance I get. You should definitely try it.

Echoing the previous commenters, burlesque is very much “come as you are” - if you feel comfy in a smaller bod that’s cool, but you don’t need to be Dita to be a bad-ass performer.

You don’t need to change your body to participate! Do it now! :)
The burlesque community is inclusive of all sizes, colors, orientations and identies!

You do you, but don’t think you need to lose weight before learning burlesque. There are ladies of all sizes that do burlesque and the main point of the classes is confidence in what you got.

Aw, you should learn no matter what your size is. The group in my area prominently displays that they “celebrate the womanly form in every shape and size”. They always have little workshops and stuff and now you have inspired me to sign up for the next workshop.

“Blaze” was such a great movie and I had forgotten about it. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt009694…

Yes! Burly! I can't help but see this outragious magnificence as the Mother of the Drag Queen culture. So there's that ( just a a simple point) as well as women using "display" as a means of "I'm in charge" expression. So few people really understand burlesque and how it empowers women performers (of whatever original…

Obsessing over her beautiful skin, her natural décolleté that looks like mine and that little bit of extra fluff hanging over the side of her bra, while she poses there with amazing confidence.

Thank you.

YES, I WILL ALLOW IT

Don’t vote for people with poor punctuation skills. It will only lead to more droughts, famine, and apocalypse scenarios.

I am actually really into this hair, and it was making me feel uncomfortable to be wanting to copy Katy Perry, but now I can just pretend I’m copying LadyGrinningSoul from Jezebel dot com.

I’ve only run into two celebrity type people in my bajillion outings at WDW. George Lucas and Tom Savini, both at tPFKatD-MS. Disneyland has much better celebrity sighting opportunities. I did run into the incredible Marty Sklar once as well, but I don’t know how much of a celebrity he counts as.

better than Kardashians Klan

I read that as foam panties and immediately went “Wat”.

Hey Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes, I don’t have a nanny either, which I guess means I’m hands on too! When is the ceremony where we get our medals?

You know who else likes to celebrate her birthdays at Disneyland???

Don't know why, but I really do hope that Kristen does like the ladies better.
