Last weekend our city was rubbed down with rouge and doused with an extra kissie-blow of glitter when the Dallas Burlesque Festival shook its goods at the House of Blues. Seduction and tease were the event's cornerstones and the nationally acclaimed cast of exoticas delivered both in their fullest.

But it is here, in the photographic aftermath that we enjoy the beauties in their still shots. With three days and scores of amazing images to pick from, we've selected our 10 favorites for you to enjoy. And with that, ladies and gentlemen, may I introduce the come-hither glamour pusses of the Dallas Burlesque Festival.
