Hey everyone,
You know what? I am a history major. Maybe I should start a piece on the authentic history of ME dance. I could do a paper that could lead to a book. I'd love to see something good out there on the subject. I suppose I could provide that. Besides, I've been a bit bored with my usual historical subjects lately. What do you think? Also, I wonder how many things in the history will be upsetting to me, and to others? I wonder if one could even write a definitive history of the dance. I do know, at least, that the man who wrote this book was definitely attempting an actual history of burlesque (in the sense of professional history, that is). So if Little Egypt did join such a troupe...and if his assertions that striptease was based on what was seen at the World's Fair...I wonder what that means for our profession.
