Default Dontcha wish you were in a burlesque troupe like me? Dontcha!

Surely this lot should really be labelled a "cabaret" troupe, as opposed to a burlesque troupe?

The Stage / News / Choreographer Lloyd launches Pussycat Dolls-style burlesque act

Even then I think giving this project the label of cabaret is pushing it a bit; it sounds a wee bit like a posh girl-band or touring tribute show to me.

Does it tick anyone else off that The Pussycat Dolls are labelled a burlesque troupe? In what sense, way, shape or form do they merit that title - someone please enlighten me? Last time I checked no self-respecting burlesque performer is jumping about in their best hip-hop bling declaring that we should all wish our siginficant other was hot like them..DONTCHA! (Well, maybe a few do )

In fairness I actually quite like the Pussycat Dolls after a few gins but burlesque they ain't!

Any thoughts? Indulge me, I'm in the office procrastinating when I should be writing script.
