Burlesque lives of the idea of a sexualized very feminin body. This is actually a gods gift being thin and fit while having the boobs and butt of a pin-up. So finding women who can entertain and tease an audience with dance while not looking cheap is a a frigging task. The entrance fee in a German burlesque theater was roughly 70 bucks. Fats want to cash out of the new definiton of curvy and wealthy people admiring the hippo.
