I told DH I wanted to learn BURLESQUE dancing and didn't get the reply I wanted!

[Dragonbrandybutter]

I found a class locally.
A one day workshop.
I thought it would be a giggle.
And i'd like to know how to do that tassles thing

Anyway, he said, 'have you finally lost your mind?, that's for old women with self esteem issues'

i told him not to be so negative and that I would have preferred him to be a little excited about it.
we haven't talked about it again.

but i still want to do it.
now what?

It sounds like he doesn't know what it is. Maybe you need to take him to a club.

Do it and shake your thang in his face!

as an old woman with self esteem issues I say go for it!

go
tell him you're dving motorcycle maintainance or decoupage
surprise him with your graduation piece

but what if he really doesn't want to know and i've learnt how to do it.
would be a bit of a waste no?

i suppose there's always you tube

My DH would think 'DW learning burlesque = I get some private dances in slinky get ups = wayhay!'

Perhaps your DH is being mature and sensible (if not a little discouraging).

I'd like to learn, but then I am a plump older woman with SE issues!

when you have learnt to swivel your nipple tassles in different directions I am sure he will change his mind!

He is sooo damned right.
It's usually for fat old women with self esteem issues though who confuse slaggy behaviour with being liberated with no hang-ups.

Get yerself up a mountain in a nice warm coat instead.

Do it.
Don't tell him.
It'll entertain you.
And then in due course, it might entertain him too! When he's ready of course...
But in the meantime, you'll have had a giggle.

I'd do it if I was that way inclined. I fancy the Argentine Tango myself.

he probably was being mature and sensible but then i sulked and now it's an issue.

when he said about it being for old women with self esteem issues, I did reply 'and you think i don't'.

grrr.

a little 'wahey' would have helped.

but i like vintage clothes, i love the 40s especially, it's all connected isn't it?

am i being naive and romantic about burlesque?

anyone know about it properly?

grrrr

moondog, is dancing for your husband slaggy behaviour?
it would only be for him.
and presumably the class would just be girls

Maybe not but its naff.

who you grrr-ing at baldy?
is your grrr, annoyance or desire?

at your hubby

you feel free to express yourself how ever you like

(scuse non reasoned argument have poorly boy in my lap)

The very sweet churchgoing girl next door did a poledancing course, now that, imho, may well be a little erm dodgy. Although she has fantastically toned upper arms.

The whole point of Burlesque is leaving it to the imagination, no nudity required?

i'm not sure what exactly i'd be trying to express, i'm more likely to make him laugh really. but that's no bad thing is it.

My DH thinks I'm odd because I have no desire to learn how to do it. We saw some programme that said virtually all women would like to be able to do it.

I think I'd just pmsl but if you fancy it go for it, it's always another string to your bow in what could potentially become hard times if you need a part time job

I would LOVE to learn the tassel twirling thing. I say go!

Heh sorry DB but as is my want I youtubed for you.

and pmsl, can you do it like this? because I think you should.

ahem, wont.

erk am afraid to open that link

Oh no DO boysie, you must

yes slur, i want to do just that
pmsl.
wtf was going on there? i don't think i'd need a class for that one.

2 good points from that one

1. i have the seamed stockings and the lipstick
2. i just got a fringe

was a bit tame wasn't it.
