BURLESQUE BEAUTIES

In the late 40s/early 50s, the age of burlesque was in full swing.  Teasing audiences full of drooling wolves with their eyeballs popping out, these gorgeous dames from yesteryear got the job by showing just enough to get the job done.  It was an era when strategically glued sequins were scandalous.  With the exception of Evelyn West, Tempest Storm, and Lili St. Cyr, most of these women have disappeared into obscurity but we'd love to pay tribute to these fine dancing ladies of yesteryear again.  I'm putting together a guide to each of them, so if you have any fun facts you'd like to share, email me at rberry@rerocrush.com.
