The Sun is passing through Scorpio Sign, one that is believed to be a sex god. But let's make it clear what do astrologists mean when they talk about Scorpio as the most sexual Zodiac Sign? Individuals born under Scorpio sign can be indeed quite different, which mainly depends on other planets present in a personal horoscope. But considering that sun sign is one of the predominating and significant to describe our personality in general. Concerning sexuality aspect it can be said that the image of Scorpio sexuality is very often somewhat mistaken.
Most will tell you Scorpio is lustful and sex is all he or she is able to think about, which is not quite true. Let's just call their style in sex as very profound and complicated. Indeed, they can do just anything in bed, but ...not with anyone. Scorpio will always stay secret about their intimate life and you will only have a clue to the depth of their desires looking in his or her eyes. To dispel the common prejudice, Scorpio's skillfulness in sex life doesn't go from their promiscuity, but more from their shrewdness and high sensitivity.
The intensity of their emotions often borders on the extremity: pain and pleasure, suffering, sensuality, exotic practices - all these are essential elements of their sexuality.
Scorpio's natural desire for intensity and love for revealing the unknown lead them to see sex as not a mere satisfaction of physical needs but purely as all-consuming experience. All or nothing is a key to their relationships with others. You may or may not like the sexual encounter, but you will definitely won't be able to forget them.
Keep in mind that Scorpio people are the ones who like to possess and rule, that's why there probably won't be a vulnerable side but rather the ones who will exploit you on an unconscious level and leave no chance to leave. But you probably won't want to do this.

Welp ,it's getting close to my favorite time of the year...Thanksgiving. That's right. But I guess you could say it's a tie, really, between Halloween AND Thanksgiving. If you would have asked me 10 years ago and I would have said Halloween without pause but Thanksgiving is all about 'thanks'. And I gots A LOT of thanks to many people in my life. People who have inspired me and have taught me many, many lessons. Especially in the Peek-A-Boo Revue where it is practically Halloween every month! What I love the most about the Halloween Season is the merchandise. I always love grabbing some %50 - %75 off costumes after Halloween & stock up on makeup that will last me for the rest of the year until next season. You can't beat it!
I still have friends who go out trick-or-treating. Seriously. No, they have no kids. They just love to dress up and hit the neighborhood. When I was younger this was what I lived for. But I always thought, once you got old enough to drive yourself to the store and buy candy, Halloween wasn't the same. Plus this was about the time I started to religiously go to The Rocky Horror Picture Show and performing every Friday & Saturday night with "The Transducer Players" of South Jersey. This is where I met my co-host/partner-in-crime of The Peek-A-Boo Revue Scott Johnston aka Count Scotchula. Wow, its been like 20+ years ago. Within this time our friendship has turned into brotherhood. And being an only child always wanting a sibling or two I give thanks to our relationship. And the 20+Peek-A-Boo members that I consider family... Always taking the good with the bad. Mainly good.
So I tribute this podcast to them. And to my new friends here on Pod0matic. Especially Mr A. The Barber over at yougotgoodtaste.podomatic.com who has quickly become someone I respect for his diverse, sick music for weirdos.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN and thanks....

There are events, benefits and parties that we here at The Peek-A-Boo Revue have been blessed to be attached to. But nothing can compare to Dr. Sketchy's - Philadelphia. It is such a unique gathering. You bring your sketchbook and draw the sexy ladies, relax, have a cocktail, mix and mingle, and create some ART!
I LOVE this video. It was shot during a Dr. Sketch's session in Philadelphia and our friends from AmericanShaft stopped by for a visit as well.
The Peek-A-Boo Revue were tapped to participate on December 7th. AmericanShaft.com headed to Dr. Sketchy's Philadelphia home, Fleisher Art Memorial, to capture the ambiance and magic:
Fleisher is guided by the spirit of its founder, who first extended an invitation in 1898 for 'the world to come and learn art.' More than a century later, Samuel Fleisher's singular vision of high-quality, tuition-free art instruction continues uninterrupted at the Memorial. At Fleisher, artists of all backgrounds share in the commonality of the creative experience while studying with a distinguished faculty of working artists in fine arts mediums as diverse as painting, drawing, sculpture, printmaking, photography and ceramics.
Throughout its history, Fleisher programs have impacted more than 500,000 individuals, whether through its in-house art classes for adults and children, or, more recently, via in-class and after school programs in area schools. Last year, over 4,000 students attended programs that offered more than 80 choices for visual arts study weekly. Additionally, the exhibition and performance programs over the past thirty years have featured and promoted the work of innumerable local, regional, national and internationally known artists.
TRACEY TODD SUPERSTAR is one of our main Jewels in the Peek-A-Boo Revue Crown. Tracey has been with the Peek-A-Boo Revue for 10 years now. At the time of this recording, I snatched her away from one of our rehearsals back in 2008 for Miss Exotic World. I had just got my mic. Tracey and I chat about alot. I mean A LOT and I grabbed the best parts of what was there. Alot of it was unusable because of interuptions and the music just gets too loud and it sounded strange when spiced together. Since then, I have recently purchased a new laptop so now I can bring more of these out. Towrds the end of the podcast I start to tap into Halloween.
Sweet, sweet Halloween.

The Exotic World Burlesque Hall of Fame and Nostalgia Museum is a non-profit organization in operation since 1980. It was founded by the late exotic dancer Jennie "The Bazoom Girl" Lee Arroyo, whose credits included a regular column called "Who's Who in Burly Q" appearing in the centerfold of the popular 1940s tabloid Hollywood Confidential. The feature showcased photos of the burlesque stars and Arroyo's own responses to questions from fans.
She later left Hollywood and opened her own nightclub in San Pedro called The Sassy Lassy. This is about when Jennie started collecting burlesque memorabilia. The club operated into the mid 70s. With her health declining, she sold her nightclub and bought land in the high desert. It was then that friend Dixie Lee Evans, a burlesque star of the 50s came to nurse the ailing Arroyo and the idea for a museum was born.
Dixie Evans, famously known as the 'Marilyn Monroe of burlesque', transformed what were once goat sheds into thirteen rooms of exhibits. Inside the walls are filled with photographs and playbills of busty strippers from days gone by, and a wealth of memorabilia, including, pasties, lip-prints, and even the jewel-encrusted g-strings of such Burlesque legends as Blaze Starr, Lili St. Cyr, Candy Barr and Chesty Morgan; as well as Sally Rand's ivory-handled fans, Gypsy Rose Lee's glove collection, Jayne Mansfield's heart-shaped couch, and even the ashes of Miss Sheri Champagne, one of Burley-Q's all-time greats. Also displayed is a nude velvet painting of Farrah Fawcett, and the ashes of The Bazoom Girl herself, Jennie Lee, the founder of Exotic World.
Lee intended to create a burlesque museum, found a burlesque school and run a bed and breakfast, and the goat farm site had enough room to contain her growing collection. Only the museum got started within her lifetime.
After Lee died in 1990, Dixie Evans took over the farm and turned it into the Exotic World Burlesque Museum, aided by Lee's widower, Charlie Arroyo. Lee's memorabilia formed the core of the collection, but people from around the world soon started to donate items to Exotic World. The collection grew large enough to fill the entire farm. A famously close-knit bunch, retired Burlesque stars often drop in unannounced from parts unknown. As Dixie Evans says, "The girls love coming by. They enjoy knowing that someone cares about preserving their work."
Dixie Evans initiated the Miss Exotic World pageant in 1990 as a way to draw people to the museum. She garnered attention by sending out a press release claiming that "Lili St. Cyr, Tempest Storm, Blaze Starr and 30 other alumni of burlesque will all be invited to attend this reunion." While technically true, none of those invitees attended that year. However, the release garnered press attention for the pageant, which was successful enough to become an annual event.
The Miss Exotic World Pageant is an annual burlesque pageant and convention, and is the annual showcase event (and fundraiser for) the Burlesque Hall of Fame. The pageant, sometimes referred to as the "Miss America of Burlesque," attracts former burlesque queens from past decades, as well as current participants of the neo-burlesque scene. The pageant consists of burlesque performances spanning a weekend, culminating with the competition to crown a single performer as Miss Exotic World. Because of the significance of the Exotic World Burlesque Museum to the burlesque community,winning the pageant is considered a top honor for a burlesque performer.
The Burlesque Hall of Fame is a 501(C)3 non-profit organization, so your generous donations are 100% tax-deductible. If you would like to make a donation by mail, kindly address your check or money order to:
The Burlesque Hall of Fame PO Box 1437 Las Vegas, NV 89125

"Bad Girls Go to Hell" is an American 1965 sexploitation film, written, produced and directed by Doris Wishman. The film stars Gigi Darlene, George La Rocque, Barnard L. Sackett, Harold Key and Darlene Bennett.
This film marked the end of Wishman's lighthearted nudist camp series and "nudie-cutie" comedies (such as Nude on the Moon) and a shift toward serious stories dealing with sex and violence. The new wave of harder-edged sexploitation and violent "roughie" films had already arrived a year earlier with Russ Meyer's Lorna, Michael Findlay's Body of a Female, and Joseph P. Mawra's Olga's House of Shame and its sequels.
Many trademarks of grindhouse film-making are present. Post-dubbed dialog, grainy and shaky camera-work, and an incredibly sleazy cool-jazz / go-go score. Hell, only "Last House on Dead End Street" and "Blast of Silence" are better when it comes to this film-making style. Darlene is fantastic, but the rest of the acting is uneven. However, that only adds to the fever dream atmosphere of the film. Doris Wishman is often viewed as being an incompetent director, and most of her works certainly suggest this. However, she shows some amount of skill here. Kudos to Something Weird Video for bringing this forgotten gem to the masses.
This was also released on DVD as part of a large box set of vintage exploitation films called Girls Gone Bad.
PLOT
Meg (Darlene) is a housewife in either Boston or Chicago, who, after making love with her husband (Sackett), takes a shower and dresses. When putting out some rubbish, she is assaulted and raped by a janitor (Key). The janitor blackmails Meg into coming into his apartment, wherein he again attempts to rape her. She kills him with a bowl. Fearing discovery, Meg packs her bags and travels to New York by bus. When befriended by a man in Central Park, she changes her name to Ellen Green, and claims she is from Chicago. The man offers her a room in his apartment, but after drinking heavily, he beats Meg/Ellen with a belt.
Moving on, she notices a newspaper headline stating: “Police seek blonde suspect in Boston murder!” Ellen rooms with Della (Bennett), a lesbian, and claims she is an acrobatic dancer, standing on her head in her bra and panties to prove it. After sleeping with Della, Ellen moves on again, stating that, because Della loves her, she has to leave. Ellen rents a room for 20 dollars a week at a couple's house, but is attacked and raped by the landlady's husband (La Rocque). She flees that scene and becomes a companion for an elderly woman but then discovers the woman's son is a detective working on the Boston murder case. Just as she is found out, Meg wakes up. It has all been a nightmare. As her husband leaves for work, Meg goes about her daily chores, but yet again she is attacked by the janitor in the stairwell.

So this is what it's come to Joey Martini? Well yes, and no. This potcast has been in the works since everyone at The Peek-A-Boo Revue had been hinting around a 'Peek-a-Boo Revue goes green' show. I immediately started to complile song ideas but for some reason I couldn't think of much 'green' songs other than songs about reefer. Then Mr A the Barber from yougotgoodtaste.podomatic.com posted ANOTHER podcast full of his smut music that I love so much entitled "My Tale is HOT". Oh it's a keeper. Mr A is definitely cut from the same Peek-A-Boo cloth. Okay, so he posts this incredible podcast, and I am still farting around with this one about reefer! This is a prelude of what is next.
So here you go, packed nice and tight, just like I know you like it. Let's spark this spleef!

Time to go back to school for a lesson in Burlesque History!
Today's Lesson - Lilly Christine
Columnist Walter Winchell called her "genuine Gee-whiz boy-bait."
When Esquire ran color pin-ups of her, the issue flew off the shelves.
Boys who made the trek to Broadway to see her flail the air with her long peroxide-blonde hair while dancing on the Winter Garden stage in Mike Todd's musical "Michael Todd's Peep Show" came away tight-trousered, bug-eyed, and happily slack-jawed. Critic John Chapman of the New York Daily News reviewed the production, praising Christine and the show's other pretty girls, but deploring Todd's vulgarity. His verdict: an embarrassingly dirty show. To Critic Chapman's annoyance, thick-skinned Producer Todd called up to thank him for a good box-office notice.
The show ran from June 28, 1950 to February 24, 1951, a total of 278 performances. Its popularity made Christine a hotter commodity on the dance circuit.
After "Peep Show," Christine appeared on the Great White Way once more, in 1956's "Strip For Action."
But in between, she danced ... mostly on New Orleans' Bourbon Street, where men in droves delighted in the mechanics of Christine's saucy jiggy in the more intimate setting of Leon Prima's 500 Club. The club was a premier showplace for sexy excess in a town known for all kinds of excess. The town on that twisty jog in the Big Muddy celebrated decadence and frivolity with glamor and class. Nawlins' jazzmen played raunchy and Nawlins' ladies danced raunchy, but it was raunch with impeccable style.
Christine, known in NOLA's burlesque houses and later in girlie mags like DARE and VUE as the "Cat Girl" for the feline-inspired way she purred, stalked, and slunk across a stage, was born Martha Theresa Pompender on December 17, 1923 in windswept Dunkirk, New York. Not much is known about her life in the westernmost town in New York State, or what a girl like her did on a Friday night on the frigid shores of Lake Erie.
Then she started appearing as uncredited eye candy in several movies — "Irish Eyes Are Smiling" (1944), "Two Guys from Milwaukee" (1946), "My Wild Irish Rose" (1947), and "Two Guys from Texas" (1948). She had only seconds of screen time, as a bauble on the arm of a C-list male star in a crowded nightclub scene, or as a comely cigarette girl.
With her film career going nowhere fast, she started dancing in men's clubs full time in 1948. She caught someone's eye, and made her Broadway debut in the 1950 Bert Lahr production "Burlesque."
Physically, she was equal parts Lili St. Cyr (pronounced "sincere") and Marilyn Monroe. Her body was supremely toned, and her skin was a creamy combination of Coppertone and butterscotch.
In print, her pinups seemed to jump off the page from her sheer concupiscence. Hundreds of silver gelatin shots of her by "Pinup King" Irving Klaw fetch high prices today.
On stage, she radiated pure man-devouring danger and unabashed carnality — an irresistible combination to the males of any generation.
Somewhere along the line, she also danced under the name Za Za.
She was a physical specimen in every sense of the word, and her trademark was her talented belly — she had uncommonly fine control of her stomach muscles. A natural-born practitioner of the danse du ventre ("dance of the stomach"). She executed more pneumatic variations on the classic belly dance night after night to showers of applause, leaving roomfuls of men with trembling knees and fogged-over spectacles. After seeing Lilly perform, syndicated columnist Inez Robb wrote: "The audience was awed by this alarmingly talented dancer with the rotating innards. This estimable girl is equipped with revolving viscera, like a four-speed rotisserie!"
As an early fixture on America's 1950s exotica scene — a music and dance subculture that blended blues, jazz, vaudeville, striptease, the quasi-occult, and burlesque — Christine's image was carefully cultivated. Her legend was that she was born in New Orleans, the green-eyed wild child of an athletic Norwegian sailor and his buxom Swedish girlfriend. Men's mag profiles reported that she studied yoga, sun-bathed in the nude, belly-danced for the calesthenic benefits, studied the kama sutra, and adhered to a strict vegetarian diet. And when quizzed about the exotic flourishes she used in her performances, she replied: "Yes, I am a voodoo priestess."
Although she certainly was superficially familiar with Caribbean mysticism and the ways of Middle and Far Eastern erotic dance, she was, in fact, an Italian-Polish divorcee from upstate New York ... albeit one who weighed a taut 125 pounds and measured an eyeball-quaking 37C-22-35!
Lilly usually appeared on stage in a jewel-encrusted bikini bra and panties, black fishnet stockings, and sometimes opera gloves, tossing her long blonde mane back and forth like a whip while sensuously weaving across the floor and shedding some (but never all) of her attire to the hypnotic beat of jungle drums. Other times, she poured herself into a size-too-small polka-dot bikini and made like a runaway milkshake machine. Still other times she made like a serpent as a fez-wearing clarinetist accompianied her.
She never performed fully nude or even topless. She considered herself an interpretive dancer, not a stripper. Fellow terpsichorean Tajmah (Hall?) did not like to be referred to as a stripper either. She preferred the term "exotic dancer," and explained it this way. "You could put on a good show wearing an abbreviated wardrobe, and not take off anything. Lilly Christine was a good example of that."
Her performances would begin with movements initiated by the feet that spread up her legs and thighs, and throughout her sculpted, mannequin-smooth body. The focus of each dance was her pelvis and hips. Highly improvisational, highly erotic and suggestive, each of Christine's routines — no mere gyrations — fluidly integrated grindhouse thrusting with the music’s rhythm, whatever the style, though it generally waxed Afro-Cuban-Brazilian.
In addition to the "Cat Dance," her hallmark cavitations were the "Voodoo Love Potion Dance" and something simply called "Harem Heat," which she performed in diaphanous genie pants and veil. She also performed more playful numbers called "Getting Gertie's Garter" and the "Pillow of Love." Such signature routines are right up there with Tajmah's "The Spider and the Virgin" bit and Blaze Starr's Smoking Couch act.
Crescent City backing musician Sam Butera, who worked with Christine frequently at Prima's 500, recalls her popularity with one anecdote: "One time they had a hurricane threatening, and people were standing outside the club in a line a block long waiting to get in. That’s how popular she was. Hundreds of men waiting in line to see her with a hurricane coming!"
She was still a big draw in Miami night clubs at age 41, when she died of peritonitis on January 9, 1965. It seems somewhat ironic that the condition that killed her — an inflammation of the peritoneum, the membrane which lines part of the abdominal cavity — flared up in that amazing solar plexus. She who made a living from her abdomen, doing the sweet shim-sham a stone's throw from the Old Absinthe House all those years ago.
Here's an article that riffs on her Cat Girl moniker, "What I Like About Men," that appeared in the January 1954 issue of HE - The Magazine For Men:
I’ve always been in love with men — the "tom-cats"!
In my travels I have never met one I didn’t like. There are many who moved me greatly and given me a greater glow either through the stimulus of penetrating minds or the force of their charm and build. I’ve always been drawn to a strong man. My weakness is a man who's all man. I melt to a sexy masculine voice — tall, rangy, wide shoulders, athletic — a little rough, a little demanding, but with enough sensitivity to smooth the edges.
But what a dull existence this would be without the different male types — especially the wolves which I place into two classes.
The "Lynx Cats" are the slick sinister ones and the "Jaguars" are the wholesome ones who make a game of it. The latter are my favorites for they are safe, amusing and show you a good time. The "lynx" I laugh at but stay clear of because their scratching can be serious.
The GIs and college boys are my pet "Bob Cats" for they are refreshing, athletic, interesting, with a sense of humor and a lovable American approach (from their long low whistle — to their sailor on leave attitude and their zest for fun and laughter).
The Bald "Puma" (a catnip crown to adorn their pates!). Some of the sexiest men I’ve met haven’t had a hair on the top of their heads! I've never thought a full head of hair was a man’s most endearing quality anyway.
The "Lion" (an old Tom). Today there exists no such creature as an old lover — if they retain their charm, are active and interested in things (and take their vitamin E!). These are soooooo energetic and irresistible: these darling go-getters.
The "Manx" — the tailless cat (the married man). Doesn’t matter a catling’s purr who you are: college girl, secretary, debutante, or dancer, there’s one thing you look for — a ring on your finger. Once the vows are exchanged — meow! Metamorphosis sets in. Ah me, I’m so sorry for the husbands! They work so hard at marriage being the courteous and considerate husband to make their wives happy. They make it all so serious — this business of marriage! 'Tis sad that this bit of $2.00 paper can carry so much magical power to change a tiger into a dutifully obligated tabby. The wonderment of male infidelity and romance-hungry wives!
Given half a chance our men are wonderfully, poetically romantic. But it's the woman's job to create a romantic atmosphere to encourage him to show that side of his nature: Men respond joyfully to this treatment. Women just don't seem to bother to give their men opportunities and encouragement.
The American men are the most wonderful lovers in the whole world! But most of them are very bad at dating. For one reason he is frequently too extravagant. He seems to think that he must impress a girl on the first date, so he takes her to the most select restaurant, the most costly play, and the most glittering nite club. But perhaps he cannot afford all this and because he has spent more than he should have on that one date ha cannot ask her out again for a long time. (Poor Kitty!) He doesn’t realize that the main purpose of dating is for two people to get to know each other, to find out about each other — and they can do that over a hamburger or on a trip to the beach. The trimmings of a date are not important.
Men, men ... the indispensable catus felis! I love them all!

Art Frahm (1907–1981) was an American painter of campy pin-up girls and advertising. Frahm lived in Chicago, and was active from the 1940s to 1960s. Today he is best known for his “ladies in distress” pictures involving beautiful young women whose panties mysteriously flutter to the ground in public situations, often causing them to spill their bag of groceries. In one of Frahm’s noted idiosyncratic touches, celery is often depicted.
Frahm had adequate technical competence for his medium, with a style somewhat reminiscent of Norman Rockwell's, though more cartoony. He was mostly influenced by commercial artist Haddon Sundblom, with whom Frahm may have worked as an assistant early in his career. Frahm’s forte was depicting beautiful young white women, taking in rendering their legs and figures. Frahm’s depictions of the women's faces are less successful, often tending towards plastic doll-like expressions. Minor problems with perspective and unrealistic depiction of subsidiary figures and objects are common in Frahm’s work. Some of his artistic touches were deliberately unrealistic and artistically daring — for instance his coloring of a city street lemon-yellow in an otherwise realist painting.
Frahm was commercially successful. His falling-panties paintings are still considered too camp to be art, and too juvenile to be erotica. However this genre (which Frahm seems to have created) was in demand in the 1950s, and was later imitated by some other pin-up artists. The falling-panties art has a small cult following as mid-20th century kitsch, or even as fetish art. The works are best described with plenty of irony; James Lileks' analysis (see external link below) of Frahm's work has brought it to the hilarious attention of many on the Internet.
In addition to pin-ups, Frahm created a series of humorous hobo-themed calendar illustrations. Another set of paintings celebrated traffic safety, complete with smiling, chubby crossing guards and schoolchildren (one such painting appears as a calendar print in the background of a bar scene in the movie Hud). His advertising art included works for Coca-Cola and Coppertone.

Here at The Peek-A-Boo Revue we pride ourselves in stating that we are the show that even your Mother would love. And they do. We categorized this podcast as 'explicit' for language only for this AMAZING recording found of a Mother becoming unhinged on her teenage son (actually already in progress) and you can understand why. So if explicit language offends you we do apologize, the recording was just too good to pass up on this podcast that tributes Mom. Well, most of the songs are about or have the word "Mother" in them (or variations of the word in each song). Nothing too crazy. Some REALLY great tunes to enjoy! Music to make you laugh, think, pause and reflect (in that particular order) about Mother-Dear. Song tracks to be listed soon!

Note: This last song really comes at you out of nowhere. I was listening to it with half an ear, multitasking my ass off,until; "...wait, what was that she just said?"...
This podcast was created quite awhile ago and have since lost the track listing. But I will try my best to identify music used in it. I have to admit it isn't as bad as I thought it was when I first created it. I thought it was lost to the ages but here it is: Heidi The Pocketbook doll's "Adventures in fairyland"
Heidi was probably one of Remco's most popular dolls. She enjoyed a good spot on the toy shelves from the mid '60s into the early '70s, and even enjoyed her own children's album! In the album there really isn't much to play off of. She DOES chat about her jeep a lot. Practically BRAGGING about it and I thought if some child got this album they probably wondered where the hell was that damn jeep! Adding in "sold seperatley" creates a funny twist to what is probably the most boring children's album I have come across. So I kept it minimal. Enjoy!

AbeMinsky launched a New York business in 1908 with a Lower East Side nickelodeon showing racy films. His own father shut him down and bought the National Winter Garden on Houston Street, which had a theater inconveniently located on the sixth floor. He gave the theater to Abe and his brothers Billy and Herbert. At first they tried showing respectable films but could not compete with the large theater chains. The Minskys tried to bolster their shows by bringing in vaudeville performers, but could not afford good acts.
Then they considered burlesque. Burlesque acts were cheaper, and circuits (called "wheels") supplied a new show every week, complete with cast, costumes and scenery. There was the Columbia Wheel, the American Wheel, and the Mutual Wheel. Burlesque during this period was clean; a fourth wheel, the Independent, actually went bankrupt in 1916 after refusing to clean up its act. The Minskys briefly considered signing with a wheel but decided to stage their own shows because it was cheaper and Billy Minsky longed to be the next Florenz Ziegfeld.
But Minsky's clientèle of poor immigrants had not been taught to appreciate clean burlesque, and the Minskys were not about to teach them. Plus, their audience needed a compelling reason to trek up to a sixth-floor theater. Billy realized that success in burlesque depended on how the girls were featured. Abe, who had been to Paris and the Folies Bergère and Moulin Rouge, suggested importing one of their trademarks: a runway to bring the girls out into the audience. The theater was reconfigured, and the Minskys were the first to feature a runway in the United States. Billy had the sign out front changed to "Burlesque As You Like It – Not a Family Show," and the Minskys were on their way.
The Great Depression ushered in the greatest era for burlesque, and Minsky burlesque in particular. Few could afford to attend expensive Broadway shows, yet people craved entertainment. Furthermore, there now seemed to be an unlimited supply of unemployed pretty girls who considered the steady work offered by burlesque. By the time they finished expanding, the various Minskys controlled over a dozen theaters – six in New York and others in Baltimore, Philadelphia, Albany, and Pittsburgh. They even formed their own "wheel."

The National Police Gazette was probably the most successful of the men's magazines of the nineteeth century United States. It was founded in 1845 by journalist George Wilkes and lawyer Enoch Camp as a sort of true crime/America's Most Wanted periodical; it told the stories of crime and misbehavior with information about the alleged offenders such as names, aliases, physical descriptions.
In 1877, Richard Kyle Fox became publisher of the magazine after a few years selling ads and then becoming the business manager. He came up with the idea of selling cheap subscriptions to saloon keepers, barbers, hotel managers, and other places where multiple readers would encounter the magazine. He also made the Gazette stand out from its competing scandal sheets by printing it on pink paper. The illustrations started to include pictures of female burlesque and vaudeville performers in revealing poses, instead of just pictures to accompany stories.
The Gazette's success under Fox was huge. By 1885, its advertising rates were the same as such popular magazines as Ladies Home Journal, and Fox claimed each weekly issue was read by a million readers. Subscriptions were about a sixth of that number, but it doesn't seem too unlikely that each issue going to a barbershop or saloon was read by a large number of people. Fox tried to start other magazines, but none came close to matching the Gazette's success. But the Gazette had made Fox a millionaire. Thomas Edison was a regular reader, and later James Joyce made reference to the magazine in Ulysses.
By the 1920s, though, saloons were closed by Prohibition and barbershops were becoming more unisex as flappers came in to get their hair bobbed -- not a place where such a male-oriented magazine was so welcome. Fox died in 1922; his organization kept on for another decade before selling the magazine. Many other girlie mags, sports, and tabloids had sprouted as competition to the Gazette's success. By the 1950s, glossier periodicals such as Esquire, Sports Illustrated, and Playboy had stole even more of its audience. The magazine was still published throughout much of the twentieth century, with headlines such as "Exposed -- The Dope Racket That Killed Marilyn Monroe!" (1962) and "UFOs: A Message from Our Past?" (1975). 1982 is the last year I can find any reference to the magazine, but a run from 1848 to then is still quite impressive, even if the issues of the 1900s never reached the success of the 1880s and 1890s.

The Striptease Orchestra have brought this little burlesque show to new heights and you will find out why when you listen to this live recording at Silk City in Philadelphia. Right before The Peek-A-Boo Revue headed out to Miss Exotic World 2008, they held a fund raising benefit to ship all their equipment for the event in LAS VEGAS. And this is that night. This recording covers everything from Duke Ellington to original songs written by musical director Buzz Mouthpiece.
The Striptease Orchestra is:
Carla Keys - on piano
The Neighbor - on Sax
Halsey B. Gone - on Durms
Buzz Mouthpiece - on Trumpet
Fingers McGee - on Bass

With the enthusiastic response from the fans, friends and family, it is only a matter of time before the next live recording from The Striptease Orchestra so keep on the look out!
And a special thanks to Mark & Tom Bee who have been supporting The Peek-A-Boo Revue since the beginning.
Over the past 11 years, in Philadelphia PA, one troupe has kept the spirit of cabaret, burlesque and all-round 'showbizzy-ness' alive, by presenting a brand new show each month - The Peek-A-Boo Revue! An adults-only pastiche of Singing, Dancing and Comedy all wrapped up in a Burlesque Show! This podcast will feature everything Peek-A-Boo (even the stuff that is not) with your podhost - Joey Martini and his mystery guests bringing you some fantastic yummies!
Welp ,it's getting close to my favorite time of the year...Thanksgiving. That's right. But I guess you could say it's a tie, really, between Halloween AND Thanksgiving. If you would have asked me 10 years ago and I would have said Halloween without pause but Thanksgiving is all about 'thanks'. And I gots A LOT of thanks to many people in my life. People who have inspired me and have taught me many, many lessons. Especially in the Peek-A-Boo Revue where it is practically Halloween every month! What I love the most about the Halloween Season is the merchandise. I always love grabbing some %50 - %75 off costumes after Halloween & stock up on makeup that will last me for the rest of the year until next season. You can't beat it! 
The 
ound the world soon started to donate items to Exotic World. The collection grew large enough to fill the entire farm. A famously close-knit bunch, retired Burlesque stars often drop in unannounced from parts unknown. As Dixie Evans says, "The girls love coming by. They enjoy knowing that someone cares about preserving their work."
