Book Synopsis Gilded Lili by : Kelly DiNardo

Book excerpt: Burlesque. A unique form of entertainment...and one of the most celebrated forms in burlesque was that of the inimitable Lili St. Cyr. Her body of work as a striptease artist - featuring her innovative on-stage bubble baths and reverse stripteases - was on a level with such dazzling performers as Gypsy Rose Lee and Blaze Starr. And wherever the glamorous Queen of Burlesque appeared, controversy followed. Gilded Lili is the first biography of this pioneering artist, sure to be a smash as burlesque enjoys its own resurgence. Her tempestuous love affairs and troubled life mirror the social changes in sexual politics and the commercialisation of sexuality. A compelling biography and an intriguing take on feminist history, Gilded Lili is golden indeed.
