15 Problems Only Burlesque Performers Will Understand
12. Glitter
E!Ahhhh Cabaret herpes (gets every where). This is the big one. Any one who has come within a 5 mile radius of a burlesque performer at any point in their lives will be aware of this. You've come to accept that it will just be part of you forever. On flat-mate's clothes, make-up brushes, hair, every bag you own, not to mention pet's litter trays (no idea), your toilet (we've all wiped and encountered it) and yes, on more than one occasion, boyfriend's private parts. He should be flattered really, you've made him look like a unicorn. This is just something you're going to have to learn to live with if you want the perks of dating someone in Cabaret and most of us have long since resigned ourselves to the fact we will one day be diagnosed with the infamous "glitter lung". The highs outweigh the lows, don't worry.
