HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY SIS!!!!!! My baby sis and her sweet husband came down for the weekend to celebrate her birthday, as an added bonus our brother also showed up to surprise her, fun was had by all. Later we ditched the boys to head out to the
Sax Lounge where we were not only treated like royalty but were privy to the clubs in house burlesque shows as well. I love burlesque, mostly 'cause of the musical
Gypsy. I love the old school sexy, but not completely slutty feel to it, I like that it is a bit more of a show and dance then a strict strip joint kind of deal, also you rarely actually see the naughty bits, just the idea of them. So in honor of that wonderful evening her are some books about the famous
Gypsy Rose Lee for you to read and partake in the love of all things burlesque.
Gypsy Rose Lees take on her life
A mystery novel written by Gypsy Rose Lee
A biography of Gypsy's mother, who had a substantial influence on her life
A memoir by Gypsy's sister June, telling a different side of the story
A book version of the famous and most wonderful musical
Hopefully that will give you a well rounded insight into the world of vaudville, burlesque and marathon dancing, with a healthy dose of drama and humor, enjoy.
On a side note I have an interview in the middle of nowhere tomorrow so I may not get a post up, or it may be late, so you have been warned. Happy Reading Everybody!
