[Daily Burlesque] Inspiration Post: The Muppets

[Burlesque Daily]

It's time to play the music
It's time to light the lights
It's time to meet the Muppets on the Muppet Show tonight.

It's time to put on makeup
It's time to dress up right
It's time to raise the curtain on the Muppet Show tonight.

When I saw The Muppet Show as a kid, all I wanted to do was be a part of the backstage life. My understanding of showbiz personalitty archetypes and the community they could create came from watching the interactions between creatures made of felt, ping pong ball eyes, and ostrich trim.

Also, I love skits and parodies, and when the Muppets do it, it's almost too good to be true. Basically, every second of the above video makes me have to pee.
