This episode of “Unpolished” will be about the history of Burlesque and Violet Papers by Lara Violetta.

You might wonder why these two topics and put into the same episode but you’ll understand why if you keep listening until the end.

Violet Papers is one of my favourite indie magazines, it was founded by Lara Violetta which is one of my main sources of inspiration.

The history of Burlesque on the other hand is often misunderstood and the performances are mistaken for something purely erotic but the origins were completely different.
