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?

Oh I want her for my keyring how cute is that

just been on youtube.
there does seem to be a lot of fiddling around with your knickers and some prop or another.
all we have round here is lightsabers.

hmm light sabers eh?

kinky

yup, that should win DH round shouldn't it.

thanks for your enthusiasm slur.

I think your DH may have mixed up the word BURLESQUE with a very old brand name for huge big panty girdles.

He thinks you're going to learn to dance in a Burley 18 hour, up to your arm pits and down to your knees job.

I might bring it up again with him when he's in a more positive mood.
Thanks everyone.
(THIS is what mumsnet is for )

one bump then i'm off to bed.

Go for it, it will be fun if nothing else. Tell him he is a miserable sod and you have signed him up to gay wrestling...

do it and show him results......fair play to u, it sounds fun....is he aware it is mostly women there.....open his mind.

well i thought it would benefit both of us really.

off to bed now, night!

may i just clarify that i am not old.
I am 31.
and i am not fat.
size 14

i thank you.

My sister does burlesque she really enjoys it as does her DH who supports her and goes along with her shows helps promote etc. It is using imaginiateion. As she describes it tease without the slease lol.
I was going to go to a class but there none near me lol

I think your dh may have a point. Sorry.

What an odd and rude thing to say moondog.

I am sure there will be some women with issues at these classes but there will be lots of others who think it is a lot of fun and have a lot of pride in their own rather fabulous bodies.

I would love to do this but as an old fat woman with issues I would not dare to but I am sure Dp would be delighted if I did.

If you want to go you do, I am sure DH will change his mind when he sees you in action

IS THIS WHAT WOMEN BURNED THEIR BRAS FOR?
For women to only be able to feel "empowered" by shaking their tits and writhing around poles.

Do grow up.

I think your H will probably leave you for a woman with a brain cell. And fair play to him.

Hooray Henry I can assure you I have at least one brain cell but have still been known to shake my norks when I feel like it.

Maybe he can learn to twizzle a tassle on the end of his nob and thrill you

He could improve the look by sticking little stars to his balls.
