Their form-fitting clothes showed off the shapes of their legs and thighs. Their corsets accentuated their bosoms. And everywhere they performed men threw themselves into frenzies of erotic desire. </span></div><div style="background-color: white; font-size: 10px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 1.2em;">Vintage photos collected by Charles H. McCaghy, a professor emeritus at Bowling Green State University in Ohio, reveal just how different beauty was 120 years ago than it is today.</span></div><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 10px; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

And they were as wildly popular as they were reviled. </span></div><div style="background-color: white; font-size: 10px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 1.2em;">Most people in 'proper' society viewed these ladies as being in the same category as common street prostitutes -- selling their bodies for sex.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; font-size: 10px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 1.2em;">But men adored them. Their acts were considered 'low brow,' but that simply made them more approachable for the common man. </span></div><div style="background-color: white; font-size: 10px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 1.2em;">It was said some men were willing to kill themselves in fits of lustful passion after seeing Ms Thompson's shows. The veracity of these stories, however, was somewhat dubious. </span></div><div style="background-color: white; font-size: 10px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 1.2em;">The secret of burlesque dancers' sexual appeal was not that they revealed skin and sensitive body parts -- like modern-day strippers. Burlesque was so scandalous because women showed off their feminine shapes.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; font-size: 10px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 1.2em;">Where most women wore layers of skirts and petticoats, concealing their legs and thighs, burlesque dancers wore tights. </span></div><div style="background-color: white; font-size: 10px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 1.2em;">This led to the frenzy of 'loose women in tights,' which might seem ironic to modern sensibilities.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; font-size: 10px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 1.2em;">Women of the Victorian era were expected to be modest, conservative and concerned about domestic affairs of the home. </span></div><div style="background-color: white; font-size: 10px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 1.2em;">Burlesque performers were anything but this. Some posters of the day even depicted tall, burly, Amazonian women who emanated a sense of danger.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; font-size: 10px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 1.2em;">In their own way, burlesque dancers -- while being the object of sexual desire for men -- worked to improve the standing of women in American society. </span></div><div style="background-color: white; font-size: 10px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 1.2em;">They presented the image of a woman who willfully defied the place society had dictated.

I love the colors that have been painted over the image, they are super sweet and would look great in a 'shabby chic' vintage French style room. These can easily be picked up at charity shops, antique markets and online for small amounts of money. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;"> More pictures after the jump.......</span></i></span><br />
