THE names say it all. Agatha Frisky, Ginger LaMinge, Kitty Litteur and the virulent Miss Mixi Mitosis are among 80 showgirls vying for the Miss Burlesque Australia crown with their droll brand of striptease.

Last night's Victorian finals at the Thornbury Theatre pitted lascivious lion tamers against saucy sailors and buxom mermaids, with more emphasis on the ''tease'' than the ''strip''.

''It's parody, it's entertainment and it's sexy - not sexual,'' said pageant organiser Cassandra Atkins. A former Miss Nude World, Ms Atkins started the competition last year in an effort to foster camaraderie and give performers a little, well, exposure.

''It's a chance for the promoters and agents to see them and to play and learn from each other … big prom dresses uk big prom dresses uk; It's not a beauty pageant, plus size wedding dresses in houston tx they're not judged on size or facial features. The only demand is that they're elegant.''

Alena Buckley, a full-time human resources consultant, has spent months polishing her alter ego's moves. ''Vivianne Van Kitty is a very traditional cocktail dresses 2011 , very classy lady, so I'm really going to try and capture that in a grindy, sort of groovy Louisiana way.''

Fellow showgirl Kelly Ann James (alias Kelly Ann Doll) left her graphic design job nine years ago to dance and produce burlesque acts full time. She said her act was frenetic. ''It's a chaotic mess by the end … I like to scare the hell out of people.''

Pixie Elixir - by day a jeweller called Priscilla Daffen - said she hoped the competition would lead to more gigs. ''I just want to push myself, to develop as a performer.'' She recently performed for US singer Usher at a private party during his Melbourne tour. ''He's a very pronounced dancer and so is his entourage so it was very flattering … He peeled off a stocking.''

While Australia is yet to have an international showgirl such as America's Dita Von Teese cocktail dresses cocktail dresses, who can command up to $50,000 a show, burlesque has burgeoned in Melbourne in the past few years.

There are dedicated clubs such as the Burlesque Bar in Fitzroy and Red Bennies in South Yarra, workshops and classes aplenty, and even burlesque-inspired makeovers and life drawing.

But Ms Atkins said the 'buzz' bred imposters, like last year's Hollywood movie Burlesque, which was ''really more jazz dancing with sparkly costumes''. She said the pageant tried to correct misconceptions about what constituted burlesque by asking contestants to perform a ''traditional'' routine, in which they are scored on their ''bump'', ''grind'' and ''walk''.

They also model an evening gown and perform a ''neo'' routine hot pink bridesmaid dresses cheap hot pink bridesmaid dresses cheap, which can use modern music and has either a narrative or an element of parody. The winner and three ''wildcards'' will vie for the national title in Sydney next month, as well as $5000 in prize money and a trip to Las Vegas to see the Miss Exotic burlesque pageant.

Ms Atkins and her business partner Jac Bowie have sold Miss Burlesque franchises to South Africa and Canada, and hope to eventually stage a Miss Burlesque International. Male burlesque entertainers are also on the cards for next year.

''Every male burlesque act I've seen has been hilarious,'' Ms Atkins said. ''They can even use nipple tassles.''
