One of the crucial differences between Burlesque and modern stripping remain the use of Pasties and a G-string as a final reveal versus well, nothing! Pasties refer to the nipple coverings used to conceal the dancer’s nipple. They can be any size, shape or color and are affixed with some sort of adhesive; often double sided tape or spirit gum. They are called pasties as they are quite literally “pasted” on. Pasties were introduced as a way to deter censors. Dancers could show almost all of their breasts but not be entirely topless. Carrie Finnell is credited as being the first dancer to use tassels on her pasties and introduce the world to the fine art of tassel twirling.
