Whenever someone's removing their clothing in public, we're lurking nearby to photograph it. Some (prudes) may claim burlesque performances and sideshow acts are "utterly without redeeming social importance," but we know better. The shows always offer a few good laughs, and encourage uptight folks to loosen their ties and roll down their sleeves. Consider it cathartic, and flip through pics of burlesque shows past.
