Pin-Up..

Julie Gibson, like a good number of classic burlesque dancers defined their careers with one gimmick. For her, it was the "Dance of the Bashful Bride."

Gibson would transform from a sweet and innocent blushing bridge on her wedding day to a less-than-innocent honeymoon night bump-and-grinder. Dressed in full bridal wear, she would walk down the stairs to the stage as if she were preceding down a church aisle. Once on stage, more than just the bridal bouquet would be thrown off.

With her small stature (5' 4"), curvaceous measurements (35-23-35), and innocent pout, Gibson would be just the type of girl that men in the club would dream of marrying. And as a bonus, she could look sexy and seductive while taking off a big wedding gown! It was the classic Angel vs. Devil and the Virgin vs. Whore act all rolled up into one.

Gibson, (like many dancers of the 1950's,) was brought before a judge to defend her act against obscenity charges. She called her act "art" and offered to do her dance in the courtroom in front of the judge. The judge declined and after that the case fizzled away.

Wow...
I think that another cold shower is in order..
