Hey. So I want to tell you something. It's something I feel uncomfortable telling people because I'm not proud of it. It's something that I wish I could change about myself, but I doubt that's gonna happen. It's something that, when I do tell people, they often try to convince me I'm wrong about this part of me. It's a difficult thing to admit.
I don't like burlesque dancing.
I know. I KNOW. I hate that! I hate that I don't like it. Because I love the culture of burlesque, I love the empowerment, I love the solidarity--and fuck, I la-la-love the costumes! But watching it always leaves me sort of bored. I just don't find it engaging. And yes, I have seen more than one Very Good Show--two of them in Las Vegas, even. Quality show, quality dancers, quality everything.
It's just...not my thing. Okay? Can we still be buddies? I support my friends in burlesque 100% and there still exists the hope that someday when I'm bellydancing again I can appear in a variety show with some of the great burlesque dancers we've got in the area. But as far as watching it? No.
EXCEPT FOR THIS.
