Description

Autographed Photo of Tempest Storm, The Last Living Legend of Burlesque

Tempest Storm has one of the greatest stage names for any burlesque performer ever, but that isn't all she had. With flaming red hair and a figure that men would kill for, Tempest Storm soon went from chorus girl to strip-tease star. She also became a pin-up sensation with the help of legendary photographer and director Russ Meyer. She was one of the defining women in the golden age of the striptease, creating a lasting myth that every classic bachelor is thankful for. For those of you who weren't around to see her in her prime, you can luckily still find some of her strip-tease movies, most notably Teaserama, which stars Storm and Bettie Page. These films were meant then to be just stag films, but now are treasured as a glimpse into a world that no longer exists. (Java?s Bachelor Pad website.)
