Download or read book Undressed for Success written by B. Foley and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-09-27 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using the tools of performance studies, gender theory, and cultural history, Brenda Foley explores the striking similarities between beauty pageantry and striptease. For example, women in both project a 'normal' femininity and adhere to a strict hierarchy (Miss America contestants look down upon Miss Universe contestants, while theatrical 'burlesque artists' saw themselves as far above mere carnival strippers). Undressed for Success collects extensive primary source research - newspapers, journals, trade publications, photography collections, press releases, memoirs, and interviews with both strippers and pageant contestants - and employs a wide array of gender, feminist, and performance theory to analyze them.

Book Synopsis The League of Exotic Dancers by : Kaitlyn Regehr
Download or read book The League of Exotic Dancers written by Kaitlyn Regehr and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-04-04 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every year in downtown Las Vegas, often called "Old Vegas," The Burlesque Hall of Fame reunion brings together members of the League of Exotic Dancers, one of the earliest unions for women in exotic entertainment, to perform their half-century-old routines. In this annual tradition, performers from the golden age of Vegas burlesque rally counter-culture neo-burlesque fans who both keep the tradition alive and add new meaning to it. Over the past four years, documentarian Kaitlyn Regehr and photographer Matilda Temperley have embedded themselves within this community-a group, which like Old Vegas itself, continues to survive and thrive sixty years past its supposed prime. Here, in a smoky, off-strip casino, they found women, at times well into their 80s, subversively bumping and grinding away preconceptions about appropriate behavior for a pensioner. This collection of interviews and photographs is drawn from the backstage dressing rooms, homes, and lives of this aging burlesque community, as well as the young neo-burlesque community who adore them. The authors present an inter-generational sisterhood that is both unique and socially significant. Through a range of experiences-from discussing struggles for wage equality, to helping stabilize an 85 year old as she steps into a sequined g-string-the authors describe the complexity of the lives of these performers and the burlesque history from which they come. Regehr and Temperley present multidimensional portraits of this community and conclude that they are at their most vital when read with all the nuances, troubles, trials, and triumphs that they formerly and currently experience.
Download or read book DayVotionals written by Chijioke Bennett and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-11-03 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DayVotionals is a compilation of bite-size nuggets from the Word of God that strive to make biblical truths clear and relatable, with the ultimate intention that we not only know the truth but that we practice the truths that we know. DayVotionals is a labor of love and is a collection of some of the things that God has taught me over the years. It is written for everyone, regardless of your level of relationship with God. The prescribed method of consumption will be to take a nugget, study it, meditate upon it, by turning it around, over and over in your mind, till it takes root in your spirit and brings about illumination. Once that light comes, to make the process complete, you should walk in the light of that word, and only then can you enjoy the benefit of the nugget. While it is to be consumed by all, not everyone is at the same level of depth in God, so not all bites are equal. Some bites may be a nibble for someone; whereas, they will be a mouthful or perhaps several mouthfuls for others. The ideal thing is to pace yourself; bite off what you can chew on, settle that truth in your spirit, then come back for more. The presentation is easy, but please understand that there is depth here, so study the material and use this as a study manual. My prayer for you is that with each bite, your capacity is increased, and soon, youaEUR(tm)ll have all these truths and more rooted in your inner man, and the practice of them will be your light that men see and glorify our Father. Open yourself to this process, and I pray that you enjoy the deepening of your relationship with God. www.chijiokebennett.org

Book Synopsis Uncovering Paris by : Lela F. Kerley
Download or read book Uncovering Paris written by Lela F. Kerley and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2017-06-07 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 1889 to 1914 nude spectacles increased at an astonishing rate as a result of burgeoning artistic experimentation, the commercialization of the female body, and the rise of urban nightlife. In particular, artists’ balls and music halls provided creative spaces in which women, artists, impresarios, and the illustrated press could cast the natural body as a source of sexual pleasure, identity, and reform. Emphasizing the role of erotic entertainment as an outlet and agent of modern sensibilities, Uncovering Paris: Scandals and Nude Spectacles in the Belle Époque offers a fresh approach to important topics of the period—Bohemian artists, the New Woman, and press censorship—and reinterprets them through the lens of la femme nue. Having inherited her name from the pictorial female Nude and the Nude’s real-life counterpart, the artist’s model, la femme nue operated as a screen onto which various groups projected their artistic drives, sexual desires, monetary interests, and cultural anxieties. A struggle to define pornography and art, freedom and censorship, and public and private spheres ensued among artists, theater directors, and moral leagues as a century-long tradition of equating civilization with clothing broke down in the face of performative challenges. In posing, singing, acting, and dancing in naturalist presentations, the artist’s model-turned-erotic entertainer engendered crises in ways of seeing the female body that contributed to and was indicative of a changing moral climate within which women were accorded more freedom to corporeally express themselves. Once denigrated and denounced as a sign of vulgar working-class sexuality, the revelation of female flesh became an integral aspect of twentieth-century French body culture. Drawing upon a range of colorful commentaries, dramatic debates, and evocative photos, Lela F. Kerley highlights the importance of nudity in the redrawing of moral boundaries as she uncovers key moments that amounted to a “culture war” in the years leading up to World War I. Through an investigation of street riots, court cases, and anti-pornography campaigns, Uncovering Paris offers an interdisciplinary approach to the scholarship on Belle Époque sexual politics and a rich glimpse into the social construction of morality in Belle Époque France.

Download or read book Undressed Art written by Peter Steinhart and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2005-09-13 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To draw is to understand what we see. In The Undressed Art, writer-naturalist Peter Steinhart investigates the rituals, struggles, and joys of drawing. Reflecting on what is known about the brain’s role in the drawing process, Steinhart explores the visual learning curve: how children begin to draw, how most of them stop, and what brings adults back to this deeply human art form later in life. He considers why the face and figure are such commanding subjects and describes the delicate collaboration of the artist and model. Here is a powerful reminder that no revolution in art or technology can undermine our vital need to draw.
