I think you'll find that the horizontally challenged lady is in fact a belly dancer (am I glad it wasn't a video clip).
Burlesque seems to have gained in popularity, probably because women find it as interesting to watch as the men. It also gives those normal size ladies a chance to perform without having to be a size zero xylophone.
I find it far more interesting than some ironing board tart getting all her kit off and showing us what she had for breakfast.
To put it in perspective for Lee - imagine it as jiving rather than climbing a marquee pole and showing us all your arse.
See- I do have a feminine side!
