Exotic World Burlesque Museum Raising Funds

The Exotic World Burlesque Museum Art Auction has begun.

The Exotic World Burlesque Museum was founded by legendary burlesque performer Jennie "The Bazoom Girl" Lee. Exotic World is a 501(C)(3) non-profit organization, dedicated exclusively to the preservation of the traditions, art and artifacts of classic burlesque. After nearly 20 years in the middle of the Mojave Desert, what was once a dusty roadside attraction off California's Route 66 is on the brink of major expansion, with plans currently underway to relocate the entire collection (the largest of its kind) to a new, permanent home in Las Vegas.

All of the works for sale were generously donated by the artists, with proceeds from their sale directly benefitting the Museum. They are largely one of a kind or signed, limited edition pieces--with low, loooooow opening bids... so this is a RARE opportunity to own original
art by some of today's most exciting pinup/burlesque and otherwise rockin' artists.

Additional items will continue to be added between now and the show, so keep checking back for updates and don't forget to BID EARLY and BID OFTEN!

Burlesque Photos at eBay

Last day to bid on vintage nude photos of burlesque star April Daye.

Pulp Novels

Pulp novels are quite popular -- so much so that collectors find slim pickings. And it's only more likely to be difficult to find the books themselves. However, it seems that there are plenty of folks writing about these books.

If you are educated about these books, authors are looking for information on lesbian erotica of the 1920s-1940s. And The Earl Kemp makes a request for suggestions of cult type magazines.

If you are a collector who buys more for the art, you may wish to see this review of Illustration Magazine.

When Sex Was Dirty

A review of When Sex Was Dirty -- a collection of stories about the dirty world of New York City in the late 70's and early 80's.
