Saloon Girl and Can Can Dancer Costumes

The Flirtatious Saloon Girl

Men outnumbered women in the Old West by three-to-one, and when lonely men visited saloons that hired attractive saloon girls, they were more than happy to spend time chatting with the ladies while spending money on drinks. In fact, it was the saloon girl's job to make the guys feel welcome by chatting and flirting with them. Saloon owners knew that men were more likely to stick around and spend money when they could chat with attractive women. As for the girls, they made a percentage of all drinks bought by their male admirers. For the most part, saloon girls were treated respectfully, and they were not required to offer men anything but smiles and pleasant conversation.

Select your colorful attention-getting saloon girl costume and get ready to elevate your flirting game to a whole new level.

The Can-Can Dancer

The famous can-can dance started out as a boisterous couple's dance, with a touch of risqué peek-a-boo as high kicks gave everyone a glance underneath the female partner's skirt. After the dance gained a modicum of respectability in the mid-19th century, the can-can evolved into a ladies-only line dance with high kicks revealing a slightly less scandalous peek under skirts. Made famous as a showstopping dance at the Moulin Rouge in Paris, the can-can continues to be a popular dance attraction.
