Burlesque is just not as edgy or seedy as it used to be. It is too clean, too gentrified to be of any real fun which is why Brelin’ La Fete Fatale is aiming to take the art of burlesque back from the mainstream.
Featuring dancers and performers from across Europe, the night kept everyone on their toes. As performers took it all off with Freddie Krueger-themed dances, there may have even been some sparkler-style nipple tassels. Check out the gallery for pictures from the La Fete Fatale.
