The British singer spoke to the BBC on all things Paloma Faith burlesque dancer. We couldn’t help but be intrigued.
Paloma Faith Burlesque Background
When Paloma Faith spoke to the BBC she revealed a lot more than not liking her debut album. She spoke about her life in burlesque, her views on sexuality and being an err… Magician’s assistant of all things.
She said, “All my sexuality is about celebrating myself as a woman, and what I am naturally – ie not skinny – and accepting what I have. It’s not the sort of sexuality that’s geared towards the male gaze.
“In the burlesque circuit I was involved with, the majority of the audience either were women, or they were men who accepted women for what they were and found them sexy.
“I’m not anti-sexuality. I’m against that internet porn, the sort that [film] Shame talks about, which is geared towards weird objectification.”
