"Gypsy Rose Lee (C, Front) receiving help from Florence Gailey (L) while performing a reverse strip-tease act." Click the photo for more information.

I'm sorry I haven't been posting for myself! This is the longest I've gone without blogging or something like it in nine years! Just wait until I get unpacked.

I think they listed the performers backwards: Gypsy Rose Lee is actually on the left "helping" Florence Gailey (the blonde) who is downstage. There's a famous pic of Gypsy and all these gals she was touring with at the moment outside a car on a lane by a sign that says "Curves Ahead" and Florence is in that photo as well. It's the photo where Gypsy is wearing that gorgeous spiral white fox fur!
