History of Pasties and Tassels (source wikipedia)
Pasties are adhesive coverings applied to cover a person's nipples. They vary in size, but are usually not much larger than the areola. Pasties are usually applied with a special tape or glue fixative. This is the origin of their name, as they are quite literally "pasted" onto the body part.
Pasties emerged as a way to censor views of the nipple following the introduction of toplessness in theater; conversely they emerged in burlesque and striptease as a way to reveal as much of the breast as possible without being entirely topless. Their form-factor was established by 1930 and includes a variety of colors, diameters, and shapes. Burlesque performer Carrie Finnell is attributed with adding tassels which hang from the center and incorporating tassel twirling as part of a performance.
Pasties are worn now by many neo-burlesque performers and are also found in night clubs, fetish parties, parades, and occasionally the beach. Some women who choose not to wear a bra wear pasties to prevent their nipples from protruding visibly through their shirt.
Our Pasties and tassels
Our Pasties and Tassels are handmade with love and care. We are small and just started our little business. We came up with the plan because we find the offer of Pasties and Tassels in Amsterdam very small. We are not commercial and are simply doing this to stimulate the art of Burlesque.
Our Pasties and Tassels come in different designs, sizes and colours. If you order something, please click 'Contact' and send us an email with your preferences. You can also send us your special requests for custom made Pasties and Tassels.
