Burlesque, starring Christina Aguilera and Cher, is beautiful and captivating. Christina's acting debut as small-town-gone-big-city girl Allie is charming, and her powerful voice seems to belong in the Burlesque Lounge. There are some catchy songs in Burlesque, and I have to say the dancing is a-ma-zing. I found myself constantly asking "how do they do that?!" as the dancers strutted their stuff on the stage. There is no question about it, these girls are very talented at their art form.
What I loved the most, though, was the costuming and makeup. Glitter, feathers and corsets. Striking colours, red lips and massive lashes. Sequins, pearls and diamonds. Classic 1930s/1940s inspired looks and the utterly over the top. It's all in a nights work for a Burlesque dancer.
