The stars include Crystal Blue | Toni Rose "The Glow Girl | " Bella Dona | Marlo Brando | Sunny Day "The Butterfly Goddess | " Dixie Evans "The Marilyn Monroe of Burlesque | " Lala Jazir | and Dusty Summers "Las Vegas' Only Nude Magician." Learn a brief history of Burlesque and its performers in the transition from 1950s burlesque with live band | comic | and stripper scene to the 1960s go-go night clubs with scantily dressed dancers on pedestals and in cages.
