In contemporary usage, burlesque is a playfully nostalgic form of striptease - think fans and feather boas rather than explicit nudity - but this is just the latest form of an ironic style of entertainment dating back to medieval times.

Burlesque comes from burla, Spanish for "joke." Comedy has always been an essential part of burlesque art, but it's comedy of a particular kind. Burlesque is satirical, and it uses exaggeration that can be extreme. Early examples of burlesque in English literature can be found in the Canterbury Tales.

By the eighteenth century, the word was used to describe often risqué parodies of serious operas or plays. Burlesque became associated with striptease in the music halls and vaudeville theaters of nineteenth-century America.

Burlesque, people don't realize that it is NOT the same as stripping. There is so much more to it, it is an art.

Burlesque, "make a parody of", a composition that imitates or misrepresents somebody's style, usually in a humorous way.

Summer is coming. We know, it’s hard to believe it, but oppressive 90-degree weather and perpetual swamp butt is right around the corner.

Last night at the Billboard Music Awards, some celebrities were already embracing this mindset and forsaking their pants like style prophets. Of course, the high priestess of this no pants movement was none other than Miss Britney Spears.

She showed up on the red carpet in matching black underwear covered with intricate lace patterns, gemstones, and a see-through train.

And when it was time for her to go onstage to perform a medley of her biggest hits, Britney continued to live the no pants life, wearing a red, bedazzled bra with matching barely there panties.

Of course, she did put on a sparkly shirt/skirt combo to accept her Millennium Award, which has previously been awarded to Beyoncé and Whitney Houston, but the skirt was pretty much see-through, so does it really count as skirt?

So what are you waiting for? Time to make like these celebrities and throw your pants away, or at least place them into a box labeled, “Do not open until it’s sad again outside.”

It's easier than you'd think to get an enviable lower half. Try these lazy-man moves to tighten up your thighs from the floor, couch, or bed whenever you have a few extra minutes. Do 10 to 15 reps of each exercise in the order listed below, then switch sides and repeat. Perform this workout at least four days a week for results that help you slip right into those skinnies.

1. Basic Leg Lift: Lie on your right side with your legs outstretched, feet flexed, and right elbow bent so the right hand is supporting your head. Bring your right leg slightly forward and bend the knee about 90 degrees. Keeping your shoulders and hips stacked, abs tight, and left leg straight, engage your outer thigh to lift your left leg about 45-degrees off the ground. Pause, then lower with control. That's one rep.

2. Leg Lift With Knee-In: Lie on your right side with your legs outstretched and right elbow bent so the right hand is supporting your head. Bring your right leg slightly forward and bend the knee about 90 degrees. Keeping your shoulders and hips stacked, abs tight, left leg straight, and left toes pointed, engage your outer thigh to lift your left leg about 45 degrees off the ground. Without dropping your leg, bend the left knee as you bring it in toward your core. Then release the leg back into the air and lower with control until your toes are inches from the floor. That's one rep.

Bring your right leg slightly forward and bend the knee about 90 degrees. Bring your left leg forward so your foot is in line with your waist. Keeping your shoulders and hips stacked, abs tight, and extended leg straight, engage your outer thigh to lift your left leg just above hip-level. Pause, then lower with control without touching the ground. That's one rep.

5. Split Leg Lifts: Lie on your right side with your right elbow on the floor beneath your right shoulder and your palm on the floor for support. Keeping both legs as straight as possible, lift your left leg until the foot is stacked above your left hip, and bring your left hand to your left ankle or shin. Engage your core and inner thighs as you bring your right ankle to meet your left one in the air. Pause, then lower with control. That's one rep.
