THE GRAPHIC ART OF BURLESQUE

66 HUSTLER | ISSUE 40

ong before porn, peep shows, titty bars, gentlemen’s clubs and jack shacks there was burlesque. Dating

back to the 1880s, this risqué offshoot of the variety show featured exotic danc- ers—striptease artists who emphasized charm and tease, not depravity. Now the exciting new coffee table book Burlesque Poster Design: The Art of Tease takes an in-depth look at the cultural phenomenon from its birth at the Folies Bergère in France to today’s neo-burlesque revival. The titillating tome contains more than 150 eye-popping advertisements and flyers

from burlesque venues around the world. It also includes posters drawn by today’s top illustrators, most notably Derek Yaniger and Vince Ray. Rounding out the compre- hensive chroni cle are photos of such leg- endary bump-and-grinders as Josephine Baker, Tempest Storm, Bettie Page, Lili St. Cyr and Kitten Natividad, as well as mod- ern-day temptress Dita Von Teese. This colorful volume will make a sexy

addition to your bookshelf and may give that normally frigid girlfriend of yours some ideas. Look for Burlesque Poster Design: The Art of Tease at bookstores or IPGbook.com.
