Tease (42 page)
Authors: Immodesty Blaize
A special mention goes to my showgirl ‘sisters’ all over the world who have shown so much support and camaraderie; you all know who you are.
Last but by no means least, thank you to the true legends of the burlesque stage who paved the way for others to follow: Madame Vestris, Lydia, Peaches, Gypsy, Faith, Sally, Dixie, Zorita, Lili, Blaze, Angel, Tura, Candy, Frenchie, Ricki, Liz, Lottie, Jennie, Ann, and more … many of whom are gone, but not forgotten. I swing a tassel to you amazing ladies and may the fire keep burning bright.
