Here's a couple of good ole stripper books for you. Vintage paperbacks ranging from the early 1950's into the mid-1960's. Back in the day when stripping was a tease, and burlesque was the name of the game. Now in an era in which Dita Von Teese would be considered sexy as hell, yet quaint, I present you with some similar cheesecake. Burlesques costumes are really cool-- sexy, feminine, form-fitting, and the women are similarly attractive. However, I'm going to say it....I saw a burlesque show once and was a bit bored...okay, waiting to be flamed for that one. Artist on "Sin Strippers" is Eric Stanton-- unsure about the rest.
Don't know about cover girls 1 and 3, but the only sin the girl on Sin Strippers looks capable of is moving like a pregnant hippo try'n'o stomp out a piece of burning paper!
FringePop is a showcase for uncommon and esoteric cultural artifacts. The focus is on unusual items from both popular and fringe culture, with an emphasis on subversive pieces. The items shown are from the author's personal collection, unless otherwise noted.
I am a pop culture buff and collector, who focuses on the odd, subversive, and fringe elements of Western culture. In 2005, I edited a book for Feral House called "Sin-A-Rama: Sleaze Sex Paperbacks of the Sixties." The vintage oddities in my collection include victoriana, sideshow, medical, and kitsch. I am also an amateur sewer, making clothing from vintage mod patterns.
