The Queen of Burlesque — article
Part One
by Jon Parker

The essay explores the careers of early 20th Century strippers Carrie Finnell, Georgia Southern, Ann Corio, and Margie Hart, and the unique aspects of their professional personae. The essay begins with an account of the last night of Faith Bacon. In Chicago, she jumped off a building to her death, “brokenhearted because she was too old for stripping.” With photographs of many of the named performers.


Strip-Teasing the French Way — article
by Carlson Wade

Mr. Wade explains the complex interactions between audience member and performer in their roles as exhibitionist and voyeur. He describes the emotions of this connection.

Strip-teasing, basically, must please certain erotic emotions which are present in all healthy males and females. The Parisian stripper creates little acts and special skits (described later) which will appeal to these so-called base elements or "savage" passions of the males and females in the audience. That accounts for their overwhelming success.

The set of erotic emotions (often referred to as deviations, perversions and other unkind appellations) are these: voyeurism — the "peeping Tom" instinct revels in seeing a naked girl. Exhibitionism — those who have secret desires to "indecently" expose themselves find exhilarating gratification when others perform their secret wishes.

Sadism — erotic stimulation experienced when causing someone to be punished, i.e., whipping, spanking, or flogging a helpless victim.

Masochism — the reverse of sadism wherein the person being tortured experiences sensual pleasures.

Nymphomania — excessive erotic desire in females.

Satyriasis — excessive male erotic desire in males, also also known as Don Juanism.

Fetishism — erotic arousal caused by objects such as a shoe, silk stocking, lingerie, corset, billowing waves of shimmering hair, furs, silks, satins, ornamental jewelry, bizarre makeup, tattoo, etc.

Narcissism — erotic-self-love in which a person makes love to his or her own reflection in the mirror, water, etc.

These are just a few of the erotic-emotions that become whipped into tumescent vigor when a strip-tease act is performed. But to be successful in stirring the libidinal impulses of the virile male or female who watches, it is up to the stripper to perform in story form, so to speak. Her act must have a little message; it must symbolically interpret, by her actions, by the rhythmic opening and closing of her smooth thighs, by the puckering of her blood-red lips, by the undulating of her dimpled buttocks (or derriere as the Parisians love to whisper), by her unusual costumes.

All add up to an interpretation of the "secret" erotic desires which many yearn to fulfill but just dare not reveal themselves. And it is the Parisian strip-teaser who knows how to satisfy this passion.

Illustrated with many photographs.
