Keeping the preservation alive of this tassel twirling art-form Burlesque has never felt like mere work to me; instead, it resonates as a genuine calling.

The stories told range from present time to the late 1800’s. Some are groundbreaking, ahead of the time stories, some are heartbreaking, some changed the world in which we see it now but all the stories are true. Burlesque was a way to make a dollar when no dollars were to be had during the depression, burlesque was a way to explore your artistic side, burlesque was punk rock before punk rock.... But without all the safety pins in the face but more so for holding your first handmade G-String together to make it through just one more night, then you promise you’d fix that sentimental piece of costuming-but you never do until it just flutters down during a show. But was it on purpose? You’ll never tell...
So when burlesque theatres and clubs went dark, a whole world went dark with them. This little nook of the online world is a journey of just some of the many of whom were given careers and who were contributors to the nuts and bolts of burlesque. Burlesque Bits strives to preserve of what remains of the history of the theatres, the entertainers, musicians & comics. So by reflecting on our burlesque history, we can move forward with our burlesque future.
