Elvira Tassel-Twirling

The 20 Year Anniversary of the movie "Elvira: Mistress of the Dark" was just celebrated in Los Angeles with host Peaches Christ, who also hosted at Tease-O-Rama last year. Here's the infamous tassel-twirling sequence:

When I was coaching Leighton Meester I showed her several film clips, and this was the only one she found totally useless. Since she wasn't going to twirl tassels or do 80s rap or dress like a vampiress, that made sense. But it's one of my faves.

Check out Elvira's entire Las Vegas number, recreated by impersonator Cassandra Fever:

I wonder if Cassandra Fever will be appearing on The Search for the Next Elvira, Fox Network's upcoming reality show?
