On The March With London’s Burlesque Performers
ANORAK was on the march, shoulder to shoulder with Burlesque Performers protesting against Camden Council’s decision to classify burlesque as porn.
We marched from Coco de Mer in Covent Garden to Euston via Tottenham Court Road to the monolith on Euston Road.
Camden Council says you need an adult license to be a Burlesque performer. You need to pay the man, or the pimp as those in the sex industry are wont to call it…

Bunch of unwashed goths parade through Camden while everybody else is at work. Where is the news here?

I work as a contractor at Camden Council and to say that there was a large sense of bemusement at these ladies actions is an understatement. Camden has never been against burlesque performers despite what these people are claiming.
I’m sure that this march provided a nice little day out for the few people who bothered to attend, but it really didn’t accomplish anything and seemed to be more of a crude publicity stunt orchestrated by someone who either wasn’t really interested in, or was incapable of understanding the facts.

What a better way to draw attention to their point about how burlesque should not be classified as adult entertainment than by getting a bunch of gothic mutton dressed as lamb who would be more at home in Fiesta Readers Wives and getting them to parade through London with their saggy tittys on display.
I was especially enamoured with the transvestite black man who was dressed as what I can only assume was a rather unkempt vagina. If this is what these people think is ‘a satirical art form’, then I’m afraid that today marked the day when art officially disappeared up it’s own backside.

That is incredible and especially for in the UK …The Council members surely have to be a group of old grannies or nut cases.
