I have deleted the picture of the women baring her breasts for all to see. It is inappropriate, and would not stand in any decent encyclopedia. |

I think the entry is miscategorized. It is misleading to call it a sexual art, especially when the entry details the non-sexual part of burlesque's history. Burlesque, as a precursor to vaudeville, belongs with the other performing arts. |

Deleted picture
I have deleted the picture of the women baring her breasts for all to see. It is inappropriate, and would not stand in any decent encyclopedia.
I think the entry is miscategorized. It is misleading to call it a sexual art, especially when the entry details the non-sexual part of burlesque's history. Burlesque, as a precursor to vaudeville, belongs with the other performing arts.
Disambiguation
I would suggest two separate articles: one for the literary form; the other addressing burlesque as a stage performance. soverman 02:53 03Feb06 (UTC)
It should add that Burlesque is a live and very well in the UK, where Burlesque nights attract huge audiences - the article is at the moment too US centric..

Initial finds:
- http://flickr.com/photos/striatic/116597136/ Highly stylised shot of girl on stage (but maybe that's appropriate?)
- http://flickr.com/photos/gwyrah/44060079/ two women in full makeup
Include them if you like. pfctdayelise (translate?) 14:59, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
Photo
On 29 June 2006 editor Nino Gonzales removed the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang photos, stating that it "represents a kind of burlesque which is not the one discussed in this article," although the article clearly states that "burlesque has come to be a genre of adult entertainment, focusing on aspects of humor, satire and sexual tantalization." The photo clearly illustrates burlesque, fills a request, and the article benefits from an illustration. Accordingly, I am reinstating the photo. SteveHopson 19:24, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
