Dear Constant Reader,
My copy of It’s All That Glitters: Portraits of Burlesque Performers in Their Homes arrived!
Why am I so excited? Because I’m in it, along with Scratch & Betty Blaize. And a whole lot of other fabulous performers.
Brian C. Janes took pictures of performers in costume, but in our natural habitats, as it were. So not only do you get to see us in all our finery (in my case, that’s a pair of fans and not much else), you get a sneak peak into our homes. Scratch was photographed in his office at Babydoll HQ and I was in my sewing room at Stately Babydoll Manor (I’m just sorry this was before I made my fabulous new curtains). Betty’s portrait is in her living room. Her dance room would have been more appropriate, but apparently too much of a challenge to photograph with the wall of mirrors.
The book should be available any day now on Amazon and in fine bookstores everywhere.
Oh, The Glamourous Life! 
It’s real? It’s there? You can touch it? Yay! If you have a chance, please snap a photo of you with the book and send it to me for my book blog!
I remembered by we shot Betty in her living room…we were shooting during the arrival & start time of a Babydolls meeting that was gathering in the dance room. This comment is like VH1…Behind the Striptease!
