Roller derby burlesque?

Latest comment: 11 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Recently stumbled upon this article doing research for a class when I found the statement "The revival of roller derby also features elements of burlesque." As I am currently doing ethnographic research on Roller Derby, and everything I have seen, and the people I have interviewed on roller derby would sugest otherwise. The reference is an opinion piece which further sugests that this may be misleading. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.137.36.43 (talk) 23:41, 10 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

Sorry for the late reply. A reference is given for the assertion. Do you have a reference that disputes it? -- Ssilvers (talk) 13:20, 13 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

Latest comment: 9 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:The High Rollers Extravaganza Co. - Bend Her - c.1900.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on January 8, 2015. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2015-01-08. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. Thanks! — Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:16, 19 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

Picture of the day

The poster for an American burlesque production, Bend Her, dating from circa 1900; this burlesque was a take on Lew Wallace's novel Ben-Hur, which had recently been adapted to stage by William Young.

Burlesque productions such as this were variety shows involving a blend of satire, performance art, music hall and adult entertainment such as stripteases. As with Victorian burlesque, the stories were often parodies of popular contemporary works. These shows, mostly featuring female performers, could be put on in cabarets, clubs, music halls, and theatres.Poster: Courier Company; restoration: Adam Cuerden
