The Golden Girls of Burlesque, Reunited

The Golden Girls of Burlesque, Reunited

The members of the burlesque circuit before 1965 gather for a reunion every year, organized by the Golden Days of Burlesque Historical Society, a nonprofit group. This year they met in a suite at the Ho-Chunk Hotel and Casino in Baraboo, Wis. As members age, their numbers are dwindling, but their stories remain lively. Here, a young burlesque star in attendance, Orchid Mei, performs for the former dancers.
