The Spider Dance of Lola Montez

[truevera]

i don't understand this performance! I want to see the really spider dance of lola montez... :(

I think this is this is the kind of burlesque of Lola Montes Caroline Chapman would do in San Francisco back in the 1850s. Chapman's 'Spy-Dear' skewered Lola so thoroughly she (Lola) retired for a time to Grass Valley, playing to the very appreciative mining camps.

Yeah it isn't that good

I agree with LeTraveler09 that this is a disgrace to Madame Montez.  This woman was a true enigma.

[braveandtall]

She is buried in Greenwood cemetery in Brooklyn. She was Ludvigs lover and he was also blacklisted and murdered for getting rid of that cursed flock of religious jerks who made everyones lives miserable.

I wonder what is the name of this piano piece?

[braveandtall]

This is total crap. Lola Montez was a very beautiful and sexy woman who was once the beloved of King Ludvig and who was Queen of Bavaria before she threw the Jesuits out and got the Catholics angry at her. She is buried in Greenwood cemetary. She was also a writer. I have a book she wrote.

She was never Queen of Bavaria- she was ennobled as Countess of Landsfeld.

[AinslieRiddell]

Wasn't the dance highly sexualised? This is far too tame to evoke the Victorian goldfields!

[LeTraveler09]

A disgrace to Lola..

[sailorette1]

Well sort of! You can leave flowers at her grave online! You know she died in 1861.

Love it! Simply, love it!

Is this a seasonal dance or can we have Lola throughout the year?
