Bournemouth burlesque troupe, Once Upon A Tease.
9:00am Saturday 20th March 2010 in
“We do have some girls wearing nipple tassels, but you don’t see any naked flesh. If you have the nipples covered it’s fine,” says Samantha Cummings of Bournemouth burlesque troupe, Once Upon A Tease.
Tomorrow night sees the erotic glamour of burlesque gracing the Orange Rooms in Bournemouth for one night only.
The evening will be a lavish and dazzling journey into the heart of the art form, featuring a compelling mix of live performance, captivating music and titillating entertainment, said Samantha “It’s a burlesque show with a fairy tale twist.
“They’ll be a seven-girl troupe with live singers, dancers and burlesque performers.
“We’ll also have music you’ll recognise, but in a vintage style,” she said.
From the spectacular costume designs to the on-stage gimmicks, choreographer and performer Samantha, and her pals, plan to show off the best of burlesque to Bournemouth in what they describe as a dazzling explosion of seductive live performance.
“We’re looking for a mixed audience.
“The show blends modern music that people can relate to, so it’s perfect for men, women, couples and birthday parties,” said Samantha.
“It’s about introducing everyone to the burlesque scene with a show that brings everyone together.”
Once Upon a Tease was created and brought to life by Samantha, along with a team of highly skilled dancers and singers.
“Most of the girls are local.
“It’s been a brainchild of mine for many years, but we finally went for it in November 2009. Since then we’ve needed the time to get the costumes together and get the show up and running,” Samantha said.
“There’s so much burlesque going on in Bourne-mouth right now. Venues are crammed with burlesque, so it’s not a problem there. It’s so popular.”

whats the big issue over nipples ? havent we all got them? and cant you see the whole package in the tabloids every day - pathetic. sounds like a good show ,the current exponent of this style is Lady GaGa - trully amazing entertainment that has removed the 'sameness' that popular music had slipped into recently
I guess if vomit and **** is your thing well I guess you are right.
You forgot the word "class", which is understandable because both she (and by association, you) have lots of. Unfortunately the class that you both have is all low!

As for the stupid comment about someone’s name...really? Thats her name and your going to judge on a persons name. Hmmm thats classy!!! You must have a wonderful surname especially when you choice the word dog as a username!
The show sounds great but I feel this is something you will need to go and see before you make your opinion! I dont think it will be for everyone.

If you put a post on this site you leave yourself open to comment (that is what it is all about)!
Of course I will not deflect your opinion. When your mind matures and is more open to other opinions you might understand what I was getting at.
If a second rate artist has to resort to gratuatous filth and vomit to gain attention it doesn't leave much room for talent does it?
Now put your toys back in your pram and be a good little person!
One last point NECESSITY is the mother of invention!
SEE, I CAN SHOUT TOO!
I am not angry, just making another of those annoying points!
Oh yes, try to be nice (you are not doing too well at the moment)!

lol @ all the lady gaga comments.
Shes a phenomenon alright - an environmental one. Just think of the power saved when all those radios are hurriedly switched off to avoid her nonsense.
