Baile de la seducción

The time-honored Latin tradition of Baile de la seducción (Dance of Seduction) has a history dating back well over a century, originating in the portside taverns of Argentina and Uruguay. Traditionally, the dance was performed by mixed couples seeking to express their unabashed devotion for one another (the Tango being a prime example), but fortunately for us, the Baile is now more often the provenance of hot young girls in their underwear.

Ecuadorian variety show Vamos Con Todo featured a plethora of models voguing in their designer lingerie, as was the case with Kathryn Arbenz (see above) shedding her inhibitions to the tune of Mancini's Pink Panther. Judging by this clip, the show's female guests loved modeling their intimates in front of the camera.

Interesting side note: at the end of her number, Ms Arbenz was offered a satin robe to cover her modesty. For some inexplicable reason, the crowd strenuously objected to this gratuitous concealing of the underwear, chanting "ROPA! ROPA!" at the top of their lungs. Duly impressed by the crowd's obvious enthusiasm, Kathryn capitulated to their demands, apparently spending the rest of the episode in her bra and panties. 

Brazilian Heritage

More Baile de la seducción from Vamos Con Todo, featuring the lovely Paloma Fiuza (circa 2010). In common with Kathyrn Arbenz, she seems to have been a regular on Ecuadorian television and variety shows.

Ms Fuiza appears to have been a popular Brazilian dancer, appearing on a number of shows during the mid-2000s. As a general rule, she performed in beachwear or casuals, but would occasionally strip down to her lingerie (as in this clip). A classically trained ballerina, she wasn't adverse to revealing her talents before a studio audience (a fact for which we are eternally grateful).

Screamingly Funny

First, let me apologize in advance for the low resolution of these clips; some of the older content is difficult to find and the playback tends to be a little 'choppy' around the edges. All the same, the girls featured in these skits are (as always) utterly stunning and even seem to find the pranks 'screamingly' funny - once they've had the hidden cameras pointed out to them. Enjoy :)

Another Big Win

 

Yes, the girls are back by popular demand! First up, we have this 47 minute compilation featuring various starlets in their panties and stockings:

Followed by 42 minutes of the beautiful Amy Charles taking off all her clothes on national TV (well, most of them, anyway):

In both cases, the resolution is surprisingly good; hard to believe that much of this content was filmed almost two decades ago.

Probandose Pantalones

Ever hear the one about the Big Bottomed Girl trying on a pair of stretch jeans? OK, this one is about as silly as it gets, but it's still a heck of a lot of good, clean fun:

Love the way her bottom jiggles as she tries on each new pair :) So far as I can tell "probandose pantalones" is Spanish for "trying on pants," but judging by the vid-clips posted below, I suspect something may have been lost in translation:

James Whale Radio TV Show: The Dream Girls

 James Whale (no relation to the acclaimed Universal movie director) was a run-of-the-mill talk-back radio host until he unaccountably graduated to TV in the late 1980s. While otherwise painfully unremarkable, the show occasionally featured scantily-clad British beauties whose sole purpose was to spice up the proceedings with a touch of risque humor.  One of the more memorable appearances consisted of the aptly named Dream Girls: 

VCR screencap - apologies for the low resolution.

For some inexplicable reason, this multi-talented dance troupe had to perform in the sexiest of lace corsetry imaginable - basques, torsolettes, garter belts and waist-cinchers - complete with matching black hosiery. Interestingly enough, none of the other guests were required to remove any clothing whatsoever - most probably because they were male.

James meets the Dream Girls: beware of vulgar humor.

Apropos to their act, James asked the girls, "Did you enjoy that?" - to which Lisa (the blonde in the middle) replied, "Yes we did, very much" - a sentiment evidently shared by everyone who saw them. A phone-in poll confirmed that 95 percent of the viewing audience wanted to see The Dream Girls back in future episodes. Not sure whether they returned as regular guests - information on the group is extremely rare at this point of time - but hope always springs eternal.

The full dance sequence may be seen in this (regrettably low resolution) video from 1991. Fast forward to 25.31; the Girls are literally the only thing worth watching over the course of the entire sordid program.

For cryin' out loud - get RID of the fat guy!

Casino Poker

Those ingenious Argentinians have found yet another way to separate beautiful young chicas from their clothing. In Casino Poker, the girls play against the house, using their clothes for bargaining chips. Every time they lose a hand, they trade a piece of clothing for extra credit to keep on playing. It virtually goes without saying that the 'bank' always wins out in the end :)

Looks like someone's on a winning streak...

 If you look carefully, you can see at least one of the girls from La Chica Videomatch draw a 'winning' hand :D

As previously mentioned, the bank always wins.

Legendários

 Spanish variety shows never fail to deliver the goods! In this apparently "improvised" sketch, four beautiful Galician women strip down to their bras and panties to model their lingerie before a live audience:

From what I can gather, this seems to have been a regular segment on Legendários, as suggested by this youtube video:

(fast forward to 7.33)

Loiras vs Morenas

You gotta hand it to those ingenious Brazilians; nobody else could have come up with a show that enticed pretty young women to shed their clothing in public (OK, there's also the Russians, the French, the Italians and the Japanese, but you get my point).

The program in question was Festa DoMallandro ("Mallandros Party"), and the segment portrayed above was  Loiras vs Morenas - "blondes vs brunettes. As the name suggests, the contestants played incredibly silly games which required them to strip down to their bras and panties, usually cheered on by a rampant audience.

Festa ran for a total of six seasons between 1997 and 2002, achieving a level of success rarely surpassed to the present day. Needless to say, the weekly stripteases undoubtedly contributed to the show's high ratings and popularity with the general public.

A similar concept turned up around the same time in Allegria Geral, which seems to have been closely patterned after Festa. The 'blondes vs brunettes' trope was particularly evident in the musical numbers, where the female cast danced in their bare knickers for several minutes at a time. If the example posted above is anything to go by, Brazilian chicas take great pride in their choreographic abilities.

 

 

(clothes-changing competition; blondes vs brunettes)

WK in Lingerie

The competitive element discussed in Loiras vs Morenas was "briefly" expanded to international parameters with the introduction of WK in Lingerie, a short-lived sports feature broadcast across Europe during the mid-2010s.

Sponsored by Veronica from 2014-2017, WK in lingerie was pretty much exactly what the label said: beautiful young women playing soccer in their bras and panties. Opposing sides were distinguished by color-coded underwear - presumably so that the audience would know which team to cheer for.

It may seem odd that such a novel idea didn't catch on like a wild fire, but as the French have been known to say on occasion, que sera. Fortunately, there are plenty of high quality episodes still available on Youtube for the committed sports enthusiast.

Naughty and Funny

OK, most of the gags are almost certainly staged, but Ukraine's Naughty and Funny (Голые и смешные) features some of the most beautiful women on the planet falling out of their clothes at inopportune moments.

The pranks usually revolve around pretty young girls undressing in public or being filmed by a hidden camera, supposedly without their knowledge. In other cases, regular working guys are suddenly confronted with a stunningly gorgeous blonde disrobing in plain sight (as in the video posted below) with the usual "hilarious" consequences.

La Chica Videomatch

OK, so back to Latin America, where the girls actually compete to see who looks best in their designer lingerie on national TV! In the aptly titled La Chica Videomatch, we have five beautiful starlets stripping down to their bras, panties and suspender stockings while the audience judges their overall performance. Yes, all this can be yours! Please ignore the host at the beginning, he's clearly insane.

The Big Win

The Big Win was an Italian game show broadcast between 1987 and 1992. Overwhelmingly successful in its heyday , it was infamous for its gratuitous stripteases, some of which included up to eight girls undressing before the camera at once.

The show's premise was similar to a game of strip poker, in which the "contestants" represented various nations of the European Union. Whenever one of the players lost, she was required to strip down to her bra, panties and suspender stockings - sometimes even less, depending on the size of the bet. In a few episodes, the festivities ended with an "all girl" striptease - proverbial Big Win of the title.

 

 

British Comedy in the 2000s

Following a hiatus of close on thirty years, gratuitous lingerie scenes have finally returned to British comedy, albeit in the form of satellite television. In this sequence from Nuts TV, we have three beautiful young girls strip down to their bras and panties to play a game of twister, apparently to decide which of them has to visit a haunted house in the countryside. This is, of course, a long and honored tradition dating back to the days of the Olde Tyme Music Hall; no punchline is ever complete without the presence of a scantily-clad damsel (or three).

Benny Hill: TV Medley

Synopsis from The Benny Hill Wiki:

Elsie is an attractive young woman who shares an apartment with her no-nonsense, working class grandfather (Jackie Wright), who frequently talks back to the characters on her television. After grousing about the high-class cultured show on television, he complains back to the dancer (Benny Hill) through the television screen who in turn responds back to him. After the he leaves for the evening, Elsie comes out to the living room in her dressing gown and nightie, and the program switches to the news where the newscaster (Benny, again) ogles her through the television screen and and admires her figure.

Unaware this is happening, she moves around the apartment as he repeatedly misquotes the news, looks out the back of the set when she crosses behind it and even steals a bite of her pastry through the screen. When he reports that an escaped convict (Bob Todd) is loose in the vicinity of her neighborhood, the criminal immediate bursts into Elsie's apartment and hides in her wardrobe cabinet, closely followed by two police officers (Henry McGee and Roger Finch) strolling into the house. Seeing all this, the newscaster tries to warn them, but they turn down the volume on the television which he then turns back up. When the criminal is caught hiding, a struggle ensues, and the newscaster is shot through the TV monitor, lamenting that the only casualty was an innocent newsreader. Finally looking at the television, Elsie comments "Look at that - drunk again".

British Comedies of the 1970s

The 1970s were a kind of Golden Era for the British television and film industries. As Hammer, Ealing and Amicus rose to prominence, BBC, ITV and Thames cornered the market on comedies, dramas and police procedurals. There was no shortage of risque content either; the Carry On gang were at the height of their game, Benny Hill was elevating farce to the level of an artform and the hottest part of the Sun was page three. Virtually every TV series produced after 1969 incorporated gratuitous panty shots, unexpected stripteases, wardrobe "malfunctions" and full-figure lingerie scenes. As the decade progressed, the studios' costume departments kept pace with the fashion industry, especially where the actresses' underwear was concerned. Female cast members wore floral bras and briefs during the early seventies, eventually giving way to gauzy French intimates towards the Eighties. It's interesting to note that this obsession with the bare essentials wasn't confined to rom-coms and variety shows; "dolly birds" turned up in productions as disparate as UFO, The Sweeney and The Professionals.
