Art of Burlesque

I need some little help here. I'm going to have a burlesque themed photoshoot in a few weeks, and I'm not really sure what I should take with me as clothes and props go.
Do you guys have any ideas and suggestions? I've been studying photos from Tumblr (below) but have still no real clue. Help?

Dita Von Teese

I just adore Dita von Teese, I think she's one of the most beautiful people ever, and her voice is just unbelievable. She's also such a classic beauty, that seems to slowly gain it's power again and more people are doing her style of make up and clothing. It's a wonderful change!
It's also nice that burlesque has finally gotten popular again and in a really fun way!
