Trapeze Strip Act from 1901! Super strange and totally suitable for work

Square

The internet is such a lovely place. Chock full of random ephemera just waiting out there to be plucked and presented. I ran across this clip today while doing some research for open source video material. It is a striptease act from 1901. One of the earliest–and I would say strangest in a good way–ever filmed.

The best part I think is the two guys sitting in the balcony to her left. You don’t need to hear them to know they are hooting and hollering and carrying on like they were just let our of their cages for the first time. So funny.

(And don’t worry it is totally suitable for work)
