Striptease Catalog The Striptease and its development hold a central role in the expansion of the commerce of sexual expression throughout the last 200 years. Its emergence demonstrates a fascinating interplay between the worlds of theater, commerce, prostitution, censorship, and the all-powerful human sex drive! There is a revival today of the classic striptease, after a clear and definite break in the long tradition of burlesque shows. While most assume this new interest in burlesque is a trendy "retro" endeavour more post-modern artiness than titilation, but it must be remembered that the first striptease emerged from the art students of Paris and even as it grew, the theatricality of the act, the engagement of the mind was as much a part of the excitement as was the flesh exposed. So, seek out and support the new strip shows so they can start a new fire under the movement! In the meantime, check out the info on and the "artifacts" from the history of striptease here. And if you have any souvenirs or stories, experiences, memories you would like to share, please drop me an email as I would like to fill in my wide gaps in Striptease history, lore and memorabilia. A great place to hunt for info is the book simply titled STRIPTEASE (see below) which was painstakingly researched and is filled with background history on the golden era of Striptease & Burlesque New items will be added as they become available. |
