Set of four 8x10 black and white reprint photographs documenting 1950s burlesque life, two scenes backstage in the dressing room and two on or near the stage. The performer in the dressing room shots is a buxom blonde in a fringed sequined costume, shot in a wonderfully chaotic backstage environment packed with period detail: a box of Tabu cologne by Dana, a can of Kevo-Et, a tin of S.B. Penick Rosin White N.F., multiple perfume bottles, false eyelashes, and the clutter of a working showgirl's life. One shot shows her adjusting her fringe skirt, another catches her mid-lipstick at the mirror. A third photo shows a different blonde performer in a satin robe in front of a long dressing table lined with cage-style theatrical lights. The fourth is a stage shot of a woman in a sparkle bodysuit facing away from the camera while a trumpet player in a suit and sunglasses plays behind her, with a painted New Orleans French Quarter-style backdrop.
