Just "Click the Pix" to see a larger view.
Recently I received a nice note from an old-timer who enjoyed seeing many of the well-known Burlesque Babes on the circuit "back in the day". He also kindly sent along these 2 pix of the lovely Angelique.
Here's some tid-bits from our anonymous benefactor's memories--
- "Remembering many years when I saw many bawdy/beautiful burlesque stars dancing on the stage in Detroit, Cleveland, Toledo, and other few cities"
- "In January of 1959, I first saw a stripper named Justa Dream at Toronto's Casino Theater"
- "Later in a few months (May 1959 ?), I drove to Detroit's Gayety Theatre ... Virginia "the 3B girl" Bell appeared... With twirling tassels on her Twin Bust... HOT. I was sad when the... Gayety Theatre was closed in the spring of 1960. "
- "Around 1964...I found the best burlesque theatre "Town Hall" ... I was happy to see my favorite stripper, Irma the Body, again on the stage. "
- "Sometimes I attended the burlesks in the 1970s. Angelique was my recent favorite stripper. She mostly appeared in a small theatre on Six Mile Rd & Woodward Ave in Detroit. -- Angelique once kissed me in 1974 "
- "Remembering other lovely dancers... Darlene "Tall, Torrid, Texan" Day, White Fury, Jean "Beautiful Blonde" Carroll, Cindy Parker, Libby Jones, and others. "
My thanks to "Anonymous" for this stroll down memory lane!
