Getting Naked

If there is one thing I like, it’s a movie about sex. Or the illusion of sex. Or about the expression of sexuality—particularly in art. Enter the documentary Getting Naked, a wonderful movie about various burlesque dancers making a living with their art in New York City. First, it was very educational since I didn’t realize you could make a living as a burlesque dancer (beyond Dita Von Teese). Secondly, it was fascinating to see how their lives and their dancing came together. Thirdly, it was wonderful seeing and hearing about women who don’t fit a certain image shake their groove thang on the stage. And lastly, I’m a sucker for beautiful naked women, dancing and fancy costumes—and you’ll get your fill from this documentary. So go check it out, you won’t regret it!
