Every resident of a big city knows firsthand what a lack of natural environment and fresh air means. The same applies to many food products: if rural residents have most of the vitamins in fresh vegetables and fruits at hand, then city dwellers have a more difficult time in this matter - they have to buy everything, risking running into nitrates and other not very useful additives. Therefore, of course, everything that can be grown independently is better - it is cheaper, more environmentally friendly, and healthier. The short video presented on our website is dedicated to this issue.

All kinds of fraud and deception of gullible citizens have flourished at all times, and usually scammers show enviable ingenuity, constantly coming up with more and more new ways to illegally seize other people's property.

Therefore, in no case should you do hasty actions - it is better to think ten times before doing what your mobile interlocutor requires of you.

One of the most important events in the life of every young girl is, of course, the school prom. This event marks the end of an entire school era and is a kind of “bridge” to adulthood. In addition, this is one of the few holidays when you can give free rein to your imagination in choosing an outfit and turn, at least for one evening, into a real princess for your family and classmates. And, of course, what prom is complete without a prom dress? Our lesson is dedicated to him.

Thanks to this video lesson “How to choose a prom dress,” future graduates, as well as their mothers, grandmothers and girlfriends, will be able to familiarize themselves with the recommendations of leading stylists regarding exactly what factors need to be taken into account when choosing a prom dress and what rules should be followed. It's no secret that many young ladies begin to think about choosing an outfit for prom long before the event itself - sometimes even a year in advance. There is no single point of view on what a dress for a prom should be, because all girls are different, each with their own style, character and features of appearance. Therefore, it is extremely important not just to blindly follow fashion trends, but to try to ensure that the graduation dress is in harmony with the graduate’s personality, reflects her individuality and emphasizes her external advantages. Many girls prefer to follow traditional rules in choosing a dress - they choose pastel colors, light fabrics, feminine silhouettes. Of course, this is already a classic, so such outfits will always be appropriate for a prom. However, if a girl wants to show off her originality, then it is quite possible to get creative - choose more unusual colors and styles. As a rule, black is considered an undesirable color - it may be too heavy and gloomy for a young girl during the prom.

We hope that this video lesson will help each of our viewers make the right choice in favor of the most beautiful and stylish prom outfit that will allow the girl to feel like a true lady.

It’s no secret that human health is the most important thing, so taking care of your own health and your body should start from a very early age. As they say, many diseases are much easier to prevent in time than to treat later, when the disease has already begun to develop intensively.

High-quality medical services are in demand everywhere and always: both a thousand years ago and today. It is well known that the profession of an aesculapian does not tolerate unprofessionalism and amateurism, therefore you should seek medical help only from highly qualified specialists. Otherwise, poor-quality medical care may not only fail to bring the desired improvement, but, on the contrary, may further aggravate the situation and harm health.

Today, the services of large general medical centers, so-called family medical centers (or clinics), which will provide high-quality medical services to all family members: both adults and children, are in great demand.

Among the many advantages of such medical centers, I would especially like to highlight the following:

  • Extremely high quality of medical services offered. The entire staff of a large center - from the head physician to the nurse - is highly qualified, has rich practical experience and an impeccable reputation, so specialists of this kind of medical institutions successfully cope with even the most complex tasks;
  • Versatility. Clients of the above-mentioned private family-type clinics can safely come here with diseases of a wide variety of profiles - from therapeutic to gynecological. At the same time, an integrated approach to each patient is provided, his previous complaints and requests are taken into account.
  • Comfort. One of the main disadvantages of public hospitals - the lack of necessary amenities for comfortable treatment - has been completely eliminated in private medical institutions. Both outpatients and inpatients can stay in pleasant conditions and enjoy all the necessary amenities.
  • Availability of the most modern medical equipment;
  • Reasonable pricing policy, fixed cost of services and the absence of any extortions, additional payments and demands for “thank you” in envelopes, which patients of so-called “free” clinics constantly face.

All of the above advantages are fully possessed by the well-known German-Ukrainian medical center Aurora, which offers everyone first-class medical services, consultations and assistance from highly qualified world-class specialists.

The violin is a wonderful musical instrument that has won millions of hearts thanks to its lyrical sound. However, violinists (both beginners and professionals) are well aware that the violin not only has a delicate and fragile sound. It is also a rather intricate instrument in itself, which requires a special approach and care.

First of all, it is worth protecting the violin from direct sunlight to avoid drying out. Under no circumstances should this musical instrument be left under the scorching sun. The same applies to severe frosts: the violin generally does not like significant temperature changes, so you need to try to maintain a favorable temperature regime in the place where the instrument is stored. Remember that you should not leave the violin near open heat sources: fireplaces, air heaters, stoves, and so on.

Second, no less important advice: the violinist must constantly monitor the level of humidity in the environment where the violin is stored. This musical instrument does not like either excessive humidity, since it causes the wood to become damp and possibly even mold, or too dry air, because in the latter case, cracks and other damage may appear on the wood - and the instrument will become completely unsuitable for use. Experts recommend maintaining an optimal indoor humidity level of 45-60 percent.

An extremely important responsibility of the violinist is also the regular cleaning of the instrument, which should preferably be cleaned and wiped after each use. Do not neglect this responsibility in order to avoid the appearance of dirt, abrasions and other unpleasant signs of use on the body of the violin. To avoid this, we suggest using online stores, for example,

However, even if you fully comply with all the basic recommendations for caring for a violin, its owner is not insured against damage to the instrument. Both as a result of natural wear and tear (if the violin was used for a sufficiently long period of time), and as a result of some unforeseen accidents (blows, falls, other mechanical damage).

If such troubles occur, you should not hesitate, but contact a qualified violin maker who can offer an extensive range of instrument repair services - from replacing strings to restoring the varnish.

A tall, long-legged, tanned young girl wriggles around a shiny pole. True, her tall height owes much to her large platform shoes and giant heels. She dances in only a thong, there are sparkles on her body, her breasts are bare. There are some decorations on the body - but who pays attention to them? Hair extensions, eyelash extensions, nail extensions, leg extensions…. Although they don’t seem to be increasing. So, do you know what they call it in Russia now? Burlesque.

And such lies are all over the place. In Moscow and throughout Russia, many establishments have begun to open that position themselves as Moulin Rouge, cabaret, and an example of expensive burlesque (and actually, wine glasses are in fashion now...). But what is the difference between these establishments and an ordinary or even an elite strip club? Let's look for similarities:

- Girls in burlesque establishments and strip clubs for some reason they are suspiciously the same. The same figures, movements, hairstyles (is it really possible that there is one choreographer and stylist in one person working in Moscow, who manages to do everything everywhere? I wish I could take a master class from him!)

-The same “corsets” from transitions for a thousand rubles... It’s strange that those clubs that consider themselves “elite” provide their dancers with corsets for a thousand rubles, when it is common knowledge that a good corset costs at least 5 thousand, and the most luxurious one costs 30 thousand or more. And this applies not only to corsets - all suits, shoes and cosmetics smack of cheapness in clubs. In fact, there wouldn't be anything so terrible about a cheap suit (after all, it's not the number of zeros that tells the overall quality) if the wearer of the suit had a strong personality. Well, or at least a sense of humor... Imagine - she clings to the pole with her extended nails and bam! The nails remain on the pole.

Do you hear any difference between the music in a burlesque establishment and a strip club? I can't hear it point blank. Tynts-tynts here and there, but for some reason it is called by different words - strip club, cabaret... Sometimes, of course, you can hear the unfortunate and hackneyed “Money” from the movie “Cabaret” or “Lady marmalade”, but this happens occasionally between endless hammering on the ears and brain.

- The show program in establishments that use the word “burlesque” in their PR campaigns for some reason does not contain burlesque. Striptease on a pole is not burlesque. A striptease on a pole is a striptease on a pole. Pole dancing in a different way. But calling it “burlesque” is like calling a Lada Kalina a Mercedes. Personally, I wouldn’t want someone to sell me a Lada Kalina under the guise of a Mercedes (and at the same price!). And if you, dear readers, regularly go to strip clubs with a “burlesque theme”, then every day you buy a Lada for the price of a Mercedes!

Of course, if “people are eating up”, then why not create an endless number of strip clubs? Personally, I have nothing against this, but I am against when things are not called by their proper names and thus hundreds, thousands of people are deceived (What is the world coming to! Mavrodi is just resting...). And for me, as a dancer, an artist of real burlesque, it is sometimes very difficult to explain to people what burlesque is. Because they look at me and think I'm twirling around a pole in a thong, spreading my extensions and doing lewd movements back and forth. At least go with a sign explaining it. The life of a burlesque performer is hard and unsightly!
And the problem is not only in burlesque clubs. Nowadays, many show ballets have appeared throughout Russia, which claim that their program is in the burlesque genre. When I watched the performances of numerous “burlesque troupes”, I again did not see ANY difference from the usual show ballet. Girls come out in elegant costumes (as in other ordinary show ballets), jump, dance - and all this is wonderful, professional, but has nothing to do with burlesque, and again... And again I hit my forehead against the frame of the room.

Let's start from the very beginning and take accessible and good material from Wikipedia, which tells what burlesque is:

“Burlesque is a type of entertaining theatrical show, close to the genres of musical, cabaret and vaudeville. The main elements of such a show are humorous dialogues and monologues with erotic overtones, as well as erotic dance numbers. Just as in burlesque poetry, the burlesque show uses a method of conveying the sublime in a low style, and the low in a sublime style. At the same time, the visual side of the show is emphasized more than its content. As an entertainment show, burlesque gained popularity in the United States in the mid-19th century. The first famous burlesque show was “British Blondes” led by Lydia Thompson (1868). At first, the balance between comedy and eroticism in burlesque was in favor of comedy, but by the 1920s, the role of women in burlesque was almost completely reduced to striptease. The girls moved flirtatiously and femininely, paying great attention to the acting performance of the striptease. It gradually became acceptable to take off more and more clothing until the standard was reduced to wearing small panties and nipple-covering jewelry, often with tassels attached to them that could be rotated. Burlesque and striptease have become synonymous words. Famous stars of that time were Tempest Storm, Bettie Page, Lily St. Cyrus, Gypsy Rosa Lee and others.”

Here is another description of burlesque that I wrote for my site:
“Burlesque is a teasing number, dance or theatrical skit, full of sexuality, sometimes even humor. Burlesque takes us back to those times when femininity and real beauty were valued most in a woman, and when there were divas and style icons on the screens and on stage, which, unfortunately, are almost gone now.
It is unlikely that a burlesque performer will like it if she is called a “stripper.” Still, “stripper” is a cliche in our heads, which is unlikely to flatter a decent woman. Burlesque is chaste, fun and sexy stripping. Moreover, only gloves can be removed and nothing else! Each burlesque performer decides for herself what she wants to film and what she wants to show. The most important thing is the ability to master the art of burlesque. You can take off one glove so that everyone in the audience freezes and the glasses in the spectators' glasses and monocles burst! And modern striptease is fast food, when everything is filmed quickly, vulgarly and vulgarly. Therefore, burlesque is a genre for aesthetes.”

As for taking off one glove, that's true. If you don’t believe me, watch the film “Gilda” with the unsurpassed Rita Hayworth in the title role. She performs a number in which she takes off just one glove! But Rita's beauty, charm and charm are so exciting that this is definitely a real burlesque. Don't forget about humor! If you go on stage and take off one of your felt boots, having previously presented a beautiful performance - this is also burlesque!

Nowadays there are entire burlesque groups and troupes, but first of all burlesque is a solo genre. If a woman knows how to master the art of burlesque one hundred percent, then this is amazing. If you put on stage a colorful modern show ballet consisting of long-legged girls, and then put on one professional burlesque performer, then, believe me, she will outshine all the girls from the ballet. Because show ballet and dance troupes are a set of movements, professionalism, but NOT individuality! And no one there even mentions femininity, everything is very mechanical and harmonious. No improvisations, liberties or surprises. Otherwise you will be fired. And burlesque is one complete surprise and extravaganza! Of course, now pointe shoes and jazz shoes will fly at me, and therefore we will assume that I have such an opinion about ballet due to my big fifth point, therefore I was not accepted into ballet and was put on a lifelong diet.

If we call burlesque a striptease, it would be a chaste one. What is most valued in this chaste striptease?

Of course, forms. A burlesque performer cannot be skinny! That is, she can be one if she has amazing charm, charm and can create a sense of shape on stage. Just remember Shakira - small and thin! But she moves in such a way that with her dancing she creates the feeling that she is chubby. But this is a great and rare talent. An hourglass figure is what all burlesque performers strive for! And they have no aspirations for thinness; moreover, burlesque women are against it. Successful and famous Immodesty Blaze, Dirty Martini, Dita Von Teese - they all have an hourglass figure. And if you are in the shape of a heart or a Christmas tree, then it’s simply a sin to hide such features!

Feeling style. During the day, the girl wears jeans, a T-shirt, and sneakers, and in the evening she changes clothes and goes on stage in a corset and hat. No! Remember - this cannot happen! Burlesque is not just a genre, it is life style. This is when even house slippers are not in the form of fluffy animals or flip-flops - but in the form of stylish ballet flats or high-heeled shoes! Jeans can be stylish if they are carefully matched to the rest of the look and if they sit at the waist. Remember, women, jeans on your hips disfigure your figure, take away your waist, and no hula hoop will help. Of course, you need knowledge about fashion, you need to understand clothes. And know how to paint correctly! Don't you know how? Go to a makeup artist, and don’t wash off your makeup at night. Sleep with your face in the pillow. Well, then reprint it from the pillow to your face.

- Femininity in everything. The desire to create and create. The desire to bring your beauty into this world. The desire to do what you love is pleasant. This is a smile at the gesture of a gentleman who opens doors for you, offers his hand, gives way to his seat. Feminism and burlesque are incompatible things. Real beautiful women respect gentlemen and will never throw around phrases like “All men are assholes.” If there are only “goats” around you, maybe you should change your job or environment? Or are you unworthy of more? So do something! In the end, let the goats graze on the lawn near the house, they will nibble the grass, the lawn... will be ruined.

Painstaking care for your body and health. To show the body on stage, it must be as pleasing to the eye as possible. Of course, you can’t please everyone - there are lovers of thin girls, there are lovers of fat ones, but still, when a girl of average build is on stage, there is a chance that the majority will like her! So dozens of extra pounds are not welcome, as is underweight. Veins on the legs (and in places where they should not be visible) should be masked, there should be no acne on the body, or they should also be masked. Remember, if you exercise, get enough sleep, drink plenty of clean water, have regular sex and eat a healthy diet, then you will look your best. Sport keeps you in good shape, healthy sleep makes you younger, water washes away blemishes and makes the skin clean and smooth, sex increases the level of attractiveness and removes aggression, a healthy diet gives a lot of energy, strength and inspiration. Only in this situation can you demonstrate burlesque in all its glory!

Self love harmony. If you are overwhelmed with feelings of envy, anger, you are hysterical and overly caustic because of some complexes, the performance will not work. You need to love yourself from the tips of your fingers to the top of your head and not look at other people's successes with envy and not rejoice in other people's failures! Anger and malice are very unfeminine and unglamorous!

And of course fantasy! Thanks to which you can come up with numbers and costumes for yourself, and if your hands grow from the right place, you will save on tailoring in an atelier or from a designer and can make your own suit. In general, leave at least in a bag. A naked woman in a bag is very erotic!

Do you think strippers think about all this? Well, maybe about nutrition and physical health. And body care for pole riders usually comes down to extensions. And extended hair, nails and eyelashes are bad manners and kitsch. It also went like silicone breasts or lips. By the way, one more point - with burlesque performers everything is natural and there are no tunings. Tuning suits only the car! Although personally, I don’t want my car to have nails extended.

Remember the film “Memoirs of a Geisha”, namely the moment when a novice geisha was explained that she should be able to stop a man with her gaze. This skill is important not only for a geisha, but also for a burlesque performer. I would probably even draw some kind of parallel between a geisha and a burlesque performer. Both possess the most valuable art for the female sex - the art of being a woman. A real woman. Who teases, entices, knows how to listen and hear, who loves. Loves men, attention, herself. Who can show this love for herself by taking off some parts of her clothing, bewitching her. Which, even when left naked, retains a sense of self-esteem, is proud of her body and will say with all her appearance, “Admire, because both you and I like it” - and all this without a touch of vulgarity and depravity. Nowadays women are lost, lost among stock clothes, fast food, meaningless chatter on a chip stand, and another richer woman is lost among branded clothes and expensive jewelry, but does not feel like a woman who knows how to use and cope with all this wisely. Burlesque is an art that helps you find yourself, your purpose.

By doing burlesque or regularly attending burlesque performances, the idea of ​​beauty and beauty in correct side. If all women can understand burlesque and become Real ladies, I am sure that men will begin to give up their seats in transport and generally become better people - after all, it is we, women, who give men goals and aspirations, we inspire them! So let's make the world more beautiful, more fun and brighter with burlesque!

What is a burlesque show? Anyone who has seen Steve Antin’s film of the same name, released in wide release in 2010, knows the answer to this question. Beautiful, spectacular women in erotic attire dancing on stage - that’s what immediately comes to mind. Let's look at the origins of this art, how it originated and what it represents today.

Burlesque show is a parody

You will be surprised, but having analyzed the etymology of the French word “burlesque”, we learn that it is derived from the Italian burla - “joke”. This type of art was formed and became a separate dance movement quite a long time ago - in the era of What's the joke of burlesque?

A burlesque show is a humorous or humorous presentation of serious works through completely inappropriate images and stylistic decisions. In addition, during the action, the heroes dressed in costumes unusual for this image. For example, men wore dresses, and girls wore stockings or transparent garments to appear more erotic. Travesty is also close to burlesque - the process of narrating low in high style.

Background

In fact, burlesque appeared much earlier than the 16th and 17th centuries AD. The first mention of parody dance can be found in A striking example is the parody of the Iliad - the work “The War of the Mice and the Frogs”. The actors who portrayed the main characters were dressed in completely inappropriate costumes instead of warlike armor.

The second time a surge in the development of burlesque occurred in Italy in the mid-17th century. The works “Aeneid” by Virgil and “Roland in Love” by Boiardo were remade. The actresses playing the main roles appeared on stage in a very frivolous manner. Then works rewritten in the burlesque style began to appear in France - the first were Voltaire’s Henriad and the same Aeneid. Such popularity of the ancient work is explained by the fact that “The Aeneid” was highly revered by philosophers and humanists of all times.

Development of the direction

Since the 18th century, burlesque shows have been more of an erotic dance with elements of striptease. Such art was received with a bang by men, but in the 20th century, burlesque went into the shadows. The worldwide sexual revolution and the large number of erotic scenes in all films and theater productions have noticeably reduced the audience's interest in the almost modest burlesque.

Modernity

At the moment, burlesque shows are once again a fashionable and interesting art movement for the audience. The widespread demonstration of naked nature revived subtle eroticism along with vintage hats and dresses, graceful shoes, and lacy lace stockings.

The most famous burlesque stars are the world famous Dita von Teese, Kitty Klaw from Britain, our compatriot Lyalya Bezhetskaya, La Contessa from Sweden, British women Immodesty Blaze and Gwendoline Lamour, Catherine de Lisch from the USA. Many American actresses and singers (Christina Aguillera, Gwen Stefani, Jennifer Lopez) often conduct fashion photo shoots in the burlesque style.

Clothing in the style of a burlesque show - what is it?

If you want to add a little flair to your style, you can easily do so. There is no need to completely update your wardrobe; you may already have the things you need. Burlesque show is restraint and light eroticism, visible in every detail of the attire. No trousers or jeans, unisex shirts or knee socks. Forget about sneakers, ballet flats, comfortable flat shoes. Give preference to dresses and wide skirts with petticoats, blouses with a turn-down collar.

Replace the usual comfortable tights with fishnet stockings with a belt or garters. Let your shoes have low thin heels, but you should not wear high stiletto heels or burlesque show style lingerie - this will emphasize a slender silhouette and femininity. Guipure, lace, openwork and velvet, tiny satin bows... Forget about cotton and comfortable ones. The main thing is not to overdo it.

Is burlesque dead or alive? He is like a phoenix bird that is reborn from the ashes, like an exotic beast that falls into hibernation and awakens from it. Burlesque cannot die, because its language is so clear to contemporaries, it changes from era to era and is in tune with each generation. Burlesque is a feuilleton in dance, it is a story about low in high language or vice versa.

However, he almost disappeared, and appeared again, revived and renewed. And the queen of burlesque and sex, Dita Von Teese (real name Heather Renee Sweet), is primarily involved in this update.

When did burlesque appear? You might be surprised, but burlesque was first mentioned during the Victorian era.

Burlesque was invented to poke fun at classic aristocratic entertainment. Only later did the burlesque show become a separate form of comic musical entertainment.

From the mid-nineteenth to the thirties of the twentieth century, burlesque became most popular. However, over time, the role of the show's participants was reduced to an ordinary striptease, which is why the public's interest in burlesque was lost.

At the end of the twentieth century, burlesque shows began to revive, and already at the beginning of the 21st century, burlesque became fashionable.

On September 28, the unsurpassed “Queen of Burlesque” was born - Dita von Teese (real name Heather Renee Sweet). The American fashion model, dancer, actress and singer is famous for her spectacular burlesque dance routines.

It was she and several other dancers who initiated the revival of this dance style, which, according to Dita, “returns the playfulness of striptease.”

Small, clumsy, very unlikable Heather Reene Sweet has been studying ballet since childhood. During her school years, the girl openly admired actresses and dancers of the 20s and 50s of the twentieth century. Without hiding her emotions, she tried to imitate them in everything. So, years later, the impeccable Dita Von Teese, the queen of burlesque, was “born”.


Dita Von Teese has not had an easy path in life. At the age of 15, she had the opportunity to work as a salesperson in a lingerie store, which had already become a fetish for her.


After graduating from college (where she studied the history of costume and her favorite piece of women's clothing was the corset), the girl got a job at a local strip club, where she first began performing in stockings with garters, a corset and long gloves.

But Dita did not want to stand still and came up with her own scandalous show - swimming in a glass of champagne, with which she went on a solo tour. Years passed, time did not stand still, interesting acquaintances and a tempting offer to become the new Playboy heroine turned her head. As a result, the sensational shooting became one of the best in the history of the publication.


In 1999, Dita starred in a candid photo shoot for the men's magazine Playboy. The magazine, in order to publish these photos, requested her full name. Dita, having opened the telephone directory, chose the surname “von Treese”, but when typing the text, the editors made a typo, so the magazine was published with the signature “Dita von Teese”. This is how the second part of Dita’s full pseudonym appeared.


After the sensational shooting, Von Teese ceases to be considered a stripper and becomes the “Queen of Burlesque.” It is gaining popularity, fashion houses and famous brands are paying attention to it. Dita becomes the favorite model of John Galliano and Jean-Paul Gaultier.

Produces a limited series of cosmetics "DITA CLASSICS" in alliance with ARTDECO.

He creates a unique collection of lingerie, dresses and accessories, while saying wonderful words: “Vintage is a slice of its time, a thing that has passed through the years, it is not old stuff, but a jewel, an antique. This is not an opportunity to emphasize your difference from others, but a chance to show their exclusivity. Fashionistas dressed in vintage style are people a little nostalgic for past times, regretting that they were born at the wrong time."
