Oh, I'd have to disagree: all of the old footage of burly-q I've ever seen is pretty much the same as what I've seen in all the shows I've been to (except the whole being in black-and-white part :) ).

Many of today's performers meticulously study the old masters and keep some of that old spirit alive - like the massive feather-fans and long-form burlesque - while obviously bringing in their own take on the show. Really, take in a Burlesque festival in your area and you'll be blown away (Vancouver has a three-day fest every year)!
