Sagebrush posted:I told you what it means today: chubby girls stripping while feeling morally superior to other strippers because they wear "ironic" costumes that have to do with geek culture (space alien, my little pony) instead of "trashy" costumes that everyone expects strippers to wear (cowgirl, cheerleader). They also strip in hipster bars instead of regular bars. That is the sum total of what "burlesque" means now. There's a geek bar near me (not that geeky really if you don't talk to anyone and the drinks are cheap) and they do events where you can dress up in silly costumes and at a few of these they've had a 10 min burlesque show where this tidy girl comes out dressed in 1930s style clothes and too gently caress rear end big fans make from like ostrich feathers and she dances to the music using the fans to obscure her when she takes an item off until she's taken every off bar pants and some little nipple tassel things after which she juggles. Bows, exit stage left. My point being despite this place being a geek bar, the burlesque dancers they get are usual attractive, not dressed in nerdy poo poo, own the show (girls often right at the front clapping/cheering harder than guys). So have no fear there's still some performers out there who do it better.

Senior Scarybagels posted:Thats what makes me the saddest I wanted to see a real burlesque and I know that these days I will never find it. I went to a a show in Vegas that was billed as a standup comedy/burlesque show. Both parts were pretty good, but going by the descriptions from the other posters it wasn't a burlesque show. It was more like if a stripper didn't strip down past her underwear. She didn't start in anything more weird than a schoolgirl outfit so I dunno.

TetsuoTW posted:Modern burlesque is basically lovely fanart of actual burlesque, except sometimes lovely fanartists actually like the source material. We're currently in a really weird area of time and culture where you can, like, find real rear end young people who went to school for clowning and poo poo, but it's all this bizarre shut in dork version that's either loaded with pop culture to the point of being just confusing, or just super annoying and attention grabbing because they don't know that back in the old days clowns and jugglers and poo poo did stuff besides clowning and juggling, so they base their whole identity on it and it becomes really weird. What I'm saying is in like a couple years we're gonna see the most insufferable hobos in history.

Have to say the saddest conversation I've had recently was related to this. Turns out there are escorts catering to shut-in nerds who will dress up as or talk about characters the client is obsessed with, or just talk to them about comic books/PC games/anime/whatever during sex. The girl who was telling me about this has a friend who moonlights as an escort specializing in this, and went on about how much money she's made from it.

I'm sure back in 1920 there was a few dudes who wanted to gently caress Daisy from Great Gatsby or whatever, they just didn't have a venue to find other dudes like that and create Daisy Foreveral Delitized Fanart.

Never in my life seen nerd burlesque, sucks to live where you live! (For the record the burlesque I've seen has just been the 30s acts like with the feathered fans or sometimes the big cocktail glass.) Edit: Have a 'burlesque horse'

Yea but I mean real hobos not the creepy rear end 'ironic hobos' or whatever that are so pampered and sheltered they have somehow romanticized being homeless. I mean in a good few years Jheff with a silent h the ironic Star Wars clown will have no home and is going to be the worst homeless dude in the world to get cornered by. You guys think the Reagan era 'I got kicked out of my mental hospital now I'm everyone's problem' ones are bad? Just wait until the clowns' rent is due.

I just found him grating, his whole schtick seems to be yelling loudly and purposely mispronouncing words. Danny and Arin seem to spend more time focused on talking about the actual game. Thats just my personal opinion though.

More fanart!    Crossovers!  I particularly like this one, because it means that Watson kills himself about 5 minutes later, thus ruining the potential for further homoerotic tension. HA!   Cats!      Unicorns!   Ponies!   !   quote:Here is Thomas just loungin around eating as usual and using poor Daisy as a footrest but she can hardly hold the weight of his fat legs because he's so fat! quote:I was wondering why all the pictures you draw of Thomas he's fat...because he's not...    quote:Thomas Barrow is seen here part snake in his chariot pulled by Daisy the scullery maid and Edward Courtenay, his gay boyfriend.

Panfilo posted:I think its endearing that the Pacific Rim fanart plays up the fact that there is a Jaeger team that is married. Though I get the feeling Cherno alpha is getting the "Boba Fett" treatment (based on actual screentime of characters vs huge interest) Cherno Alpha (and the pilots) and Boba Fett all happen to be visually interesting character designs with very little impact/presence in the story as a whole, which makes them ripe for non-canon use. I, for one, approve wholeheartedly. I wanted more of that weird, weird robot!

Whatev posted:That quote is widely attributed to Socrates, but there is absolutely no evidence he ever said it. And Socrates is only known through a fairly small number of works written by his students and contemporaries, none of which contain that quote, so it's pretty much guaranteed that he never said it.
