How to Show your Love for The Burlesque Hall of Fame


Dear performers, friends and fans of burlesque,

People often ask "How can I support the Burlesque Hall of Fame?" While there are lots of ways to do this—by visiting the museum; visiting and/or linking to our website; following us on Twitter; attending and participating in local fundraisers and other Hall of Fame events—one of the very best (and easiest) ways is to become a Member of the Burlesque Hall of Fame.

And so, since today is Valentine's Day—the one frilly, heart-shaped day a year people everywhere are encouraged to declare their love, don fancy underwear, and hit the bon-bons (or, to the Burlesquers among us, "Monday")—there's no better time to show your love; for burlesque, the Burlesque Hall of Fame, BHOF Weekend, Jennie Lee, Dixie Evans, and all the others who've given so much of themselves in service of the art we adore—by becoming a Member of the only 501(c)(3) non-profit charity devoted to celebrating all of the above.

Now more than ever, the financial support of our Members makes a difference. Fortunately, we also have more to offer our Members than ever before. When you join the Burlesque Hall of Fame today, you not only get the satisfaction of supporting the world's only museum exclusively dedicated to the art, artifacts, and traditions of ecdysiasm (that's fancy for strippin'), but also the following, very tangible benefits of Annual Membership—including a 20% discount on in-store purchases at the Burlesque Hall of Fame Museum Store and special discounts from select retail partners:
