Burlesque and the New Bump-n-grind
Though burlesque has survived in the back of our cultural consciousness after being pushed aside by modern stripping in the '50s, the revival that began in the early '90s has finally brought burlesque back to the forefront of popular culture. Evolving from an underground movement to a nearly mainstream fetish, neo-burlesque embraces a wide variety of modern interpretations all based on the classic bump and grind and "taking it off" with a wink and a smile. From classic tributes to punk rock revisionists, women of all ages, sizes, and backgrounds are rediscovering burlesque and reinventing it. A sense of heightened imagination, empowerment and energy are being delivered to the stage, perhaps ...
Burlesque West
After the Second World War, Vancouver emerged as a hotbed of striptease talent. In Burlesque West,the first critical history of this notorious striptease scene, Becki Ross delves into the erotic entertainment industry at the northern end of the dancers' west coast tour - the North-South route from Los Angeles to Vancouver that provided rotating work for dancers and variety for club clientele. Drawing on extensive archival materials and fifty first-person accounts of former dancers, strip-club owners, booking agents, choreographers, and musicians, Ross reveals stories that are deeply flavoured with an era before "striptease fell from grace because the world stopped dreaming," in the words of ...

Just Remember This
I have completed this manuscript Just Remember This, or as American Pop Singers 1900-1950+, about music before the 1950s in America. It perhaps offers knowledge and insights not previously found in other musical reference books. I have moreover been working on this book very meticulously over the past twelve-plus years. It started as a bit of fun and gradually became serious as I began to listen along with the vocalists of popular music, of the era before 1950, essentially just before the dawn of rock and roll. If you can call it that! Indeed genre and labeling of American music started here, and then from everywhere. While the old adage of always starting from somewhere could be noted in every century, the 1900s had produced the technology. Understanding the necessity, more so, finds a curiosity on the part of a general public hungry for entertainment, despite 6 day work weeks, World War I, the Great Depression, and World War II.
Lili Marleen hatt’ einen Kameraden
Mit „Lili Marleen“ und „Ich hatt’ einen Kameraden“ greift der Buchtitel zwei Lieder als Chiffren für die unterschiedlichen Bereiche musikalischer Truppenbetreuung während des Zweiten Weltkriegs auf. „Lili Marleen“ markiert gleichzeitig die Unterhaltung von außen durch tausende Künstler*innen, die auf Fronttournee im Einsatz waren, und verdeutlicht die Rolle des eminent wichtigen Mediums Rundfunk. „Ich hatt’ einen Kameraden“ steht für die vielfältigen musikalischen Aktivitäten, die innerhalb der Wehrmacht in Gang gesetzt wurden. Sie reichten von Soldatengesang, Unterhaltung durch Militärkapellen oder truppeninterne Ensembles bis zum Ankauf von abertausenden Musikinstrumenten für die Soldaten. Um die ‚Kampfmoral‘ der Soldaten aufrechtzuerhalten, wurde für die Truppenbetreuung als Teil der sogenannten geistigen Kriegsführung enormer finanzieller und personeller Aufwand betrieben. Dieses Buch widmet sich der zentralen Rolle, die Musik dabei zukam. Anhand von Archivdokumenten, zeitgenössischen Periodika, Feldpostbriefen und weiteren Quellen werden die Akteur*innen in diesem facettenreichen Feld beleuchtet.
Gilded Lili
Burlesque. A unique form of entertainment...and one of the most celebrated forms in burlesque was that of the inimitable Lili St. Cyr. Her body of work as a striptease artist - featuring her innovative on-stage bubble baths and reverse stripteases - was on a level with such dazzling performers as Gypsy Rose Lee and Blaze Starr. And wherever the glamorous Queen of Burlesque appeared, controversy followed. Gilded Lili is the first biography of this pioneering artist, sure to be a smash as burlesque enjoys its own resurgence. Her tempestuous love affairs and troubled life mirror the social changes in sexual politics and the commercialisation of sexuality. A compelling biography and an intriguing take on feminist history, Gilded Lili is golden indeed.
