For so many burlesque performers one of the essential components some of the most fascinating routines includes the use of ostrich feathers. What is it about the ostrich feather that is so enticing? Perhaps it is its historical association with power, heraldry and aristocracy. It certainly represents decadence and creates an immediate sense of glamour. Perhaps this is what Sally Rand had in mind when she performed her famous burlesque numbers in the 1930s; therefore making ostrich feathers a must for so many performers who would follow in her footsteps.
What do you make of ostrich feather accessories and costumes; is it the ultimate in glamour or just too much?

If I didn't already have a Faire Frou Frou Ostrich feather robe you know I would buy one from the burlesque collection. Love feathers, bon bons, bubbly, high heeled slippers & bubble baths. A boudoir confectioners dream
The boudoir should be about fantasy and glamour...so why not feathers! Love them!
