This show is based on Loie Fuller's Art Nouveau skirt and veil dance of the late 1800s. Combine it with American Burlesque, and this is what you get!

I don't think this is an original film. looks like it was made to look old...

This must be one of Gypsy Rose Lee's inspirations. Even after 100 years, the beauty of the female form is still universal. Thanks to Lumiere and Edison...and YouTube!

Guys, who you see here is the beautiful Australian burlesque performer Lola the Vamp. Neither is it old footage, nor does she state it is, that´s why it´s not a "fake". She´s merely inspired by Art Nouveau, that´s it.

@esaloops  (Looks like a fake to me to)

[Ozarkeree]

@thursdaysrecords Which female form? The dance was inspired by a century-old form, but the body type displayed here is thin and toned - a standard of beauty from modern times. In those days, the ideal was a bit plumper.

@esaloops I think you are right!! Even her body doesn't fit to these times.

fake!

@esaloops Neither do I. Because the body shapes then was very different than the beauty standards nowadays.
