This racy song has been a hit with audiences for years. Originally sung by Pattie Labelle and the Blue Belles, the song's lyrics pay homage to the women of the night in New Orleans. Working as prostitutes and living in the French District, these women dressed and rocked their makeup in the image of over the top cabaret dancers, a genre which began originally in Paris, France.

Popular since it's debut during the 1920's, cabaret dancers are known for super sexy costumes, with some reminiscent of can-can dancers and others full of lace, thigh high stockings bras, corsets, bustiers, and lingerie.

Makeup is worn like a real life performer, bold and bright enough to see from every corner of the theater while the star is on stage. Foundation is pale and packed on. Eyes are adorned in bright bold shades that are smoked out with a touch of black, liner that wings out, and sparkling jewel adornments. Lips are dark and sexy, sometimes accented with a drawn on beauty mark.
