Thursday night the Toronto Burlesque Festival kicked off with a party at the Gladstone Hotel featuring this burlesque photography.
Featuring many of the bombshells from the Toronto scene, this burlesque photography was elegantly provocative.
This burlesque photography exhibit featured the work of 19 different artists and ranged from humorous, to racy and elegant--just like burlesque!
Implications - The burlesque and pin up aesthetic will persist throughout time as a representation of sensuality and femininity that is recognizable by all. Incorporating this look into new developments and products communicates a message of classic elegance and sexiness that consumers, both male and female, can surely appreciate as a sign of true beauty.
