I got an email about this upcoming talk on the history of striptease:

Rachel Shteir: Striptease:The Untold History of the Girlie Show

Friday, Nov. 5, 7:30 p.m.
Emerging from turn-of-the-century burlesque and vaudeville, striptease
could be savage, irreverent, vulgar, sophisticated, sentimental, and
subversive all at once. DePaul professor Rachel Shteir argues that it allowed a new
class of otherwise "good girls" to take ownership of their identity, sexuality,
and financial independence.

Unfortunately, I can't make it that night - but I thought there might be others on this site who'd be interested. If anyone does go, let me know how it was?

On the same subject, I'm reading a book right now entitled "Striptease: From Gaslight to Spotlight" by Jessica Glasscock. I think there was an interview with the author on this site not long ago. Anyway, it's very good. I've learned a lot - not only about the art form, but also about its perceived role in American culture over the past 100+ years.
