Satanic Strippers (or, Beelzebub at the Burlesque Show)

Following up yesterday's witchy bottom, more titillation in the form of something new to me and the author of this piece on Dangerous Minds.

Actress Marian Martin and a burlesque cape featuring our pal, Satan, 1930s

Its seems that some burlesque dancers wore costumes that combined a sort of giant puppet of Satan. As you do.

Burlesque performer Pat-Z and her 1/2 and 1/2 devil routine

Apparently the combined costume/prop could include almost anything vaguely dramatic, and King Kong provided an ideal opportunity to use those old gorilla suits.

There's more about the 'half and half' burlesque here. And this rather disturbing image.
