Caught in her Underwear (AI version)

So, there's a huge argument going on over at DeviantART at the moment; apparently, "traditional" artists want AI banned from the internet until the end of time.

Speaking for myself, I completely disagree. The technology can now be used to improve artwork. Compare the two pics posted below - tradition media enhanced by Artificial Intelligence. It's pretty obvious which one looks better.

Sooner or later, we'll be able to produce an entire manga in less than a day, using just simple line drawings and an AI program.

Gloire Soit!

Today, we have some screencaps from the old Glory Bee cartoons of the 1940s. According to Mark Donstein's Toonapedia, the animated shorts of the postwar period were collected and restored by Le Cine Achive De Paris and released in a DVD Boxed Set in 2006 (proving that French preservation societies treat animated material with far greater respect than their American counterparts). However, as the Glory Bee Collection is only available in Europe, screencaps from the series are virtually unknown in America.

 Different Dimension wasn't quite sure what to make of this Glory Bea cartoon:

 But it still gave us a nice winter-themed "postcard" to see the year out:

Merry Christmas, one and all.

BurleStrip Club Chapter 1 (part two)

After the tie between Anna and Kay, it's Lena and Lika's turn to compete for a place in the next stage.

The duel between the two involves a Christmas theme. The two begin with a classic cancan choreography (it is worth noting that the girls from Miyamae are already used to cancan, so it would be normal for French dance to be present in the vast majority of presentations). The girls risk royal flash techniques to try to gain admiration from the audience; at one point, both caress each other's buttocks (a technique used by the FabFive in the double shows performed in the chapel). Then there are the swats and individual performances showing the potential of each butt; Lena does the classic shimmy, while Lika does a super fast shimmy (similar to what Elena did at the Halloween 2022 show).

After the cancan, Lena removes her gloves, while there are ropes around her waist being tied by Lika. The girls were going to simulate a reindeer pulling Santa's sleigh. Lika, already on top of the mini-sleigh, throws glitter at Lena and whips the reindeer with one of her red gloves. Lena runs and the ropes, which were supposed to pull the sled, end up taking Lika's skirt. The blonde runs after the removed piece, tries to remove Lena's strings, but the attempt ends in Lena's black dress being removed. The audience laughs, as apparently the girls were well on their way to performing burlesque. Lika takes her gift bag and tells Lena to follow her to a chimney that a stagehand has placed on the stage, then Lika enters the chimney and the curtains close for a scene transition.

After a few seconds, the new scene is similar to a living room with a fireplace and a Christmas tree. Lika appears, at the fireplace, without a corselet, as she realizes that her clothes had escaped in the path of the chimney; and Lena also appears in the fireplace, simulating a seated fall. Lika and Lena are only in their bra and panties, the only difference being that Lena was still wearing pantyhose over her panties. Lika and Rena start to explore the room, but from there it would be a mess in the scenery. The girls were wanting to try the milk and cookies that were on the table, but Lika slips and knocks Lena, the table and the snacks. 

Lika is drenched in milk on her beautiful body; realizes that one of the cookies is on Lena's butt, so the blonde bites the cookie that was on her friend's butt (removing even part of her pantyhose). The reindeer runs in pain and ends up knocking down the Christmas tree, Lena got tangled up in the decoration, having more parts of her torn pantyhose and breasts on display.

The pair try to fix the mess; they lift the tree, take off their lingerie to use as decorations and reset the table. The problem is that the gifts in the bag had been crushed during the confusion, so Lika decides to use Lena as a Christmas present. The Blonde wraps her friend's body in wrapping paper and puts a little bow on it. Lika takes the paper she put on her friend, Lena gets on all fours while the blonde slaps a pulp on her butt and the other sticks a sticker saying "Merry Christmas!" The act ends with Lika removing Christmas gum, which was in the blonde's vagina, and delivering it to the public and judges.

The public and judges loved the girls' presentation, reaching the point of thinking about declaring a second tie, but a single detail prevented this. And yes... it was Lika's Christmas gum (a pretty daring strategy, by the way). Thus, Lika moves to the second stage and Lena says goodbye to the competition. The night was not Christmas, but the performance of the two was a beautiful gift.

NOTE: Lika is just a temporary nickname to refer to the blonde character in the photo. While I don't know the blonde's original name, temporary nicknames will be used.

BurleStrip Club Chapter 1 (part one)

The battle begins, the girls are ready to start the show and begin their interaction with the audience.

"Konichiwa, burlesque fans! Kay and I will do an erotic appeal battle for you. Come here Kay!"

"Hmm, are the two of us going to amuse these people? Let's do our best and do what we know how."

Anna and Kay start the battle with a cancan duet. The choreography follows the classic pattern: skirts are lifted, high kicks are performed, the girls spread their legs, perform royal flashes and receive slaps on the bottom (in the good and beautiful style of Tom Isa). The cancan did not take long, as the focus of the striptease needed to be maintained.

The act of undressing begins. Anna removes her dress, delicately, making a cute and naughty smile. Kay, putting on a confident face, throws her dress away.

A few cancan steps are performed before the other garments are removed. The first pieces to be removed are the gloves, Anna removes them normally, and Kay removes them gently with her teeth. After that, Anna removes her corselet, gently and pleasantly; Kay, in turn, throws her corselet down and kicks the piece, while making a malicious smile.

The girls are only in panties and nipple tassels. Anna and Kay direct some provocations to the audience before starting the pole dance.

In pole dancing, the girls improvise their choreography. Kay pivots around the bar and does top-to-bottom moves; Anna performs movements involving her legs spread and getting on all fours.

After the pole dance, the girls perform tassel twirling. The breasts are bounced in an adorable and playful way, catching the eyes of the audience and judges alike. After that, the girls remove the nipple tassels and put them on their butts, then start to wiggle towards the audience.

With their breasts already on display, the girls decide to end the act. Anna, lying down, removes her panties and rolls on the floor; Kay still has to unbutton her garter belt, then sensually removes her stockings and shoes, and finally pulls down her own panties starting from the rear, then rips off one of the straps. Anna and Kay are completely naked, the last part of the choreography involves a 30 second cancan. The act ends with the girls slapping each other hard on the butt simultaneously.

The time for evaluation has arrived, but who would move on to the next phase?

Fifty percent of the audience wants Kay, but the rest wants Anna, and the judges still can't decide. The solution would be a tie-breaking procedure, but it would not be done immediately.

Which dancer makes it to the next stage of the competition?

BurleStrip Club (prologue)

Prologue

Madame Emilia Bovary is a former actress who has already made a good amount of money in her career, but lives a monotonous routine with no idea of ​​a hobby. But that all changed when Miyamae's dancers became successful in R-rated show business.

Emilia rewatched Miyamae's girls' concerts, and that cheered up the former actress. Soon, she decided to contact the girl's manager.

"So you're Damian?" Emilia asks.

"Yes, that's me," Damian replies.

"I really loved Miyamae's girls concerts. Reminds me of my work as an artist. I need a favor from you, I want them to join a new project."

"Ok, but I should warn you in advance; the girls are rather selective in their choice of clientele. I need a good proposal, after all ... it was never simple for the girls to perform several royal flashes or get slapped on the bottoms."

"Don't worry, you will be paid a fair amount for each show. I've been a dancer at Crazy Horse in the past, so I know of certain difficulties."

"All right then. What would this proposal be?"

"This project would not be for any spectator. It would be a secret club where only admirers of burlesque art would meet. Being more specific: I have my contacts to help me with this. The focus will not only be on cancan, but on burlesque and striptease in general. I've seen the fabfive show where they did a great show dressed up as maids, so they'll do the job. There will not only be shows, but other activities will be featured in the secret club project."

"Such as?"

"We'll hold a striptease battle. The rules are simple: Two girls try to perform their best performance involving striptease and eroticism, then the audience and the judges decide who will pass the stage."

Damien smiled thoughtfully, his interest piqued.

"When would you like to...close the deal?"

"Well, I'm prepared to settle for a handshake for the time being, Monsieur. We can start our shows with striptease battles?"

Damien offers his across the polished, oaken desktop.

"I'll let the girls in on the good news."

And with that, a new contract is sealed.

Later:

Damian tells the girls everything. Everyone is excited that it is a cost-effective project in the long term; but the general attention was the striptease battle.

"Uh, striptease... that brings back some memories that I'd rather forget," comments Lilly.

"We can use some cards we have up our sleeve," May and June titter.

Many of the girls started to get more excited, because the payment would be for each stage of the competition and the winner would have a big prize. Preparations were already starting, as this tournament generated excitement.

• • •

The big day arrives. Emilia, Damian and Leona Alvarez are members of the judging committee. Emilia's guests are very rich, these were the contacts who admired burlesque art. Emilia's secret club was in an underground part of a luxury hotel; its entrance was rustic, but the interior was beautiful. The club had a main dressing room, 12 rooms with bathroom, a restaurant with open bar, games room, main stage and among other things. Emilia uses this space due to her friendship with one of the hotel's CEOs. And it wasn't just anyone who knew about the underground existence of the place.

"Welcome, fellow admirers of burlesque. The proposal of our secret club is to admire all possible forms of this art. We haven't talked about the club, but one thing is for sure... you guys came to have fun. Therefore, one of our first activities will be the striptease battle!" announces Emilia.

"Let's recap the rules:

"Two dancers face each other on stage doing the best performance of burlesque striptease and eroticism. The public will vote on who will pass the stage, but the decision is in the hands of the judges - Damian, Leona and ... c'est moi!"

 

The kill keys are already made. There will be 24 competitors, who will take the grand prize?
Emilia begins to introduce the first competitors of this tournament:

"On one side we have a FabFive veteran. The mischievous, energetic, charismatic and experienced... ANNA!" screams Emilia

Anna enters the stage in an orange dress and top hat.

"The other is experienced. Possesses good leadership spirit and has good athletic skills. With you ... KAY!"

"Present a great battle, girls! Do your best."

After the signal, the opening battle between Kay and Anna begins.

Different Dimension Me

Our heartfelt thanks to Churrinho, for introducing us to the truly amazing Different Dimension Me. While the system has a few limitations (see previous posts) DDM is not only capable of converting regular photos into anime-style avatars, but can actually improve on existing CGI. Case in point: we took this tired old piece from Kogaru Diaries:

And transformed it into these:

BTW: All of these images are in the public domain. Use them however you see fit. :)

Some more AI

So, we finally managed to access QQ AI once more, and immediately uploaded this image of our resident joshikosei, Saori and Keiko:

For some inexplicable reason, the AI had some minor problems with the background, but did a commendable commensurate job on the figurework:

The experiment continued with Saori & Keiko in their underwear:

And as expected, our trusty QQ came through with the goods:

Artificial Intelligence

So, the new fad of the moment is artificial intelligence software that converts photos into anime drawings. We tested some of TISA's MMD screencaps out in this ground-breaking software and were frankly astonished by the results. Here's a selection of images from the QQ AI program:

Our thanks to Churrinho for providing these superb conversions.
