Burlyesque

Do you think that if one were a burlesque dancer one could claim all purchases of lace and net smalls, heavy duty curl enhancing hair product, fishnets, Prada high waisted tweed skits, champagne, vintage kitten heels and any cds one feels inclined to purchase as tax deductions?

I think if I were to launch the seagreen librarian tramp themed burlesque show I would shake my groove thing to (in no particular order):
- The Cramps 'don't eat stuff off the sidewalk'
- PJ Harvey - not sure quite, was thinking 'M-Bike', but it's a bit angry - maybe her cover of 'If that's all there is' for that old worlde melancholy
- Ricki Martin 'shake your bon bon' because it is clearly such an awful song, and because by some quirk of nature I own the cd (hey no one said this would be stylish)
- Bessie Smith - pretty much anything
- Sandie Shaw doing 'I can't get no satisfaction'
- David Bowie... hmm, maybe 'Oh! You pretty things' or maybe something off Heathen like 'Cactus'
- Something by Pulp, maybe off 'This is Hardcore' just for sheer ironic value

What about you? Tops three songs to camp it up and wink false eyelashes and wiggle that glitter tootsie or shake your rock mullet and leather pants with sock down front to on stage? (Look, this is importannt, you know, you just never know when you might need to have thought this through. It's like organ donation - don't leave it till it's too late - v. important to tell your loved ones what your preference is now).
