Review

"The League of Exotic Dancers--much like a dancer's performance--combines immaculate preparation with dazzling presentation. Kaitlyn Regehr's text and Matilda Temperley's images offer new perspectives on an under-researched area of performance and shine a light on the complex relationship between dance, eroticism, and the older women." -- Deborah Bull, Assistant Principal at King's College London and former Creative Director of the Royal Opera House

I AM PERSONALLY ACQUAINTED WITH MOST OF THE REAL LEGENDS OF BURLESQUE DURING THE 1950'S, THROUGH THE 1980'S.ALL THIS BOOK ACCOMPLISHED WAS TO SHOW THE " WORST EXAMPLES .OF STEREOTYPES THAT THE UNIFORMED PUBLIC VERY OFTEN THINKS ABOUT BURLESQUE PERFORMERS.ALL THE DANCERS I KNEW . AND CURRENTLY KNOW WERE AND ARE BEAUTIFUL, TALENTED PROFESSIONALS., DEDICATED TO PUTTING ON A REAL PROFESSIONAL SHO, WITH, GORGEOUS EXPENSIVE COSTUMES, REQUIRED TO HAVE PROFESSIONAL MUSIC ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE MUSICIANS IN THE CLUBS AND THEATRES. NOT DRUNKS DRUGGIES OR " PROSTITUTES".THE ART OF THE DANCE IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT, THE TRAVEL IS INTENSE. THE WOMEN EARNING A DECENT LIVING IN SHOW BUSINESS. VERY OTEN THE CONTRACTS WERE STATED" THIS ACT DOES NOT MIX WITH CUSTOMERS. DANCERS WERE REQUIRED TO BELONG TO THE UNION, AMERICAN GUILD OF VARIETY ARTISTS" THEY HAD TO HAVE AGENTS. WORKED UNDER STRONG CONTRACTS AND PAID UNION DUES.THE WOMEN FEATURED IN THIS BOOK, SPEAKING OF THEIR EXPERIENCES OF $20.00 HAND-JOBS, AND OTHER DESCRIBED SEXUAL ACTS FOR MONEY, ARE NOT BURLESQUE -EXOTIC PERFORMERS. THERE IS A CATEGORY VERY DIFFERENT FOR THIS TYPE OF LIFE-STYLE.GENTLEMEN CLUBS OF TODAY IS NOT BURLESQUE.POLE DANCING IS NOT BURLESQUE.SELLING DRINKS IN SEEDY BARS IS NOT BURLESQUE.BURLESQUE IS CONSIDERED AN AMERICAN ART FORM. IT BEGAN IN AMERICAN. IN THE ERA I AM WRITING ABOUT THE SHOWS HAD CHORUS DANCERS, SINGERS, COMEDIANS, A BAND, FULL THEATRICAL STAGING.THE THEATRES AND NIGHTCLUBS . WERE FILLED WITH COUPLES, DANCE ORCHESTRA, DINING AND A FULL SHOW.THE TRAVELING BURLESQUE TROUPES OF TODAY ARE THE SAME, WAY, TRAVELING TO EUROPE, ASIA, AS WELL AS THE USA; STAFFED WITH COMICS, SINGERS, TAP DANCERS, NOVELTY DANCERS WHO HAVE EXTREMELY ENTERTAINING BURLESQUE ROUTINES., GUARANTEED TO MAKE YOU SMILE WITHOUT GIVING "$20.00 HAND OR BLOW JOBS". YIKES!!!WHAT EVER THE REASON FOR THE AUTHORS TIME, EXPENSE TO PRODUCE A BEAUTIFUL" LOOKING COCKTAIL BOOK, FILLED WITH PHOTOS OF TRAGIC LOOKING" WOMEN IS A SAD MYSTERY.IS IT PORNO? CLOSE.IS IS WORTH ANY PRICE? NONE.. INTERESTED IN THE ART FORM OF BURLESQUE? SKIP THIS BOOK.THE WOMEN PHOTOGRAPHED IN THIS BOOK SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER THAN ALLOW THEMSELVES TO BE PORTRAYED IN SUCH A DEGRADING MANNER. .IT'S NOT THAT THE THE WOMEN ARE OLDER. WE ALL GET OLD, OR ELSE WE DIED YOUNG. IT IS T SHOCKING THAT THE WOMEN PHOTOGRAPHED SEEM TO BE UNAWARE OF WHEN THEY REVEAL TYPES OF NASTY ILLEGAL ACTIONS , IF TRUE, FOREVER TAINTS THEIR MEMORY TO ALL WHO READ THIS BOOK.IF THESE SAD TRAGIC WOMEN THINK THIS BOOK PROPELLED THEIR FAME, THEY ARE SADLY MISTAKEN.WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS BOOK?THE REAL BURLESQUE STAR OF YESTERDAY AND TODAY ACTUALLY NEVER HEARD OF ANY OF THESE WOMEN INTERVIEWED.IT IS A SHAME THAT THE AUTHORS CHOOSE THE WORST EXAMPLESOF BURLESQUE/ EXOTIC DANCERS( SO CALLED) . TO FEATURE INTHIS POOR EXAMPLE EXAMPLE OF AMERICAN BURLESQUE.SHAME SHAME.SAVE YOUR MONEY.DON'T PUT THIS BOOK ON YOUR COFFEE TABLE, YOU WILL LOSE ALL YIOUR FRIENDS AND LOWER YOUR REPUTATION OF HAVING ANY TASTE WHAT-SO-EVER.THE REAL BURLESQUE PERFORMS IN TODAY'S TRAVELING WORLD-WIDE TROUPS, EARNING A GOOD LIVING, DO NOT SUCH THINGS AS THESE WOMEN HAVE CLAIMED.THESE WOMEN PHOTOGRAPHED AND QUOTED WERE NEVER IN REAL SHOW BUSINESS AND ARE NOT REAL PERFORMERS.Signed by a person who really knows what it's was and is all about..I gave one star, cause I could not give a zero..

I’m glad this book exists. The stories related by these older burlesque performers should be captured for posterity. But much of the book—the first half—is quite dry and academic. I understand that the author’s intention was to examine burlesque through a lens of sociology and anthropology and to compare and contrast it with the neo-burlesque movement, which presents itself differently and may indulge in a fair amount of historical revision. I would have enjoyed the book more if it had more first-person accounts from the dancers, more anecdotes and origin stories, more interviews in general. But I’m glad this book exists and I’ll be delighted to keep it on my coffee table.
