Q: Why do you think so many of todays Burlesque performers don’t take pride in keeping their body in shape? Is burlesque really just an excuse for some out of shape women to take their clothes off and try to feel good about themselves?
A: The world is full of places where women are encouraged to feel bad about themselves if they aren’t willing to diet and exercise into the condition the media says they should be. Feel free to go to those places, and stay in one of them.

Dancing is exercise. You need to have a fair degree of fitness to be a burlesque dancer. Surely these people can see that and then understand that PEOPLE HAVE DIFFERENT BODY SHAPES regardless of the amount of exercise they undertake.
