First, thank you to everyone who has pledged towards the exhibit of
burlesque costumes at The West End Museum. We're all very excited about
it. We're 1/3 of the way to our pledge goal and have 19 days left! If
you'd like to make a pledge, you can visit

Next, thank you to Angie Pontani <http://www.angiepon tani.com/> , the
perennial Miss Cyclone of Coney Island and the winner for The Burlesque
Hall of Fame Weekend in 2008. Angie has agreed to lend us the beautiful
ballet-inspired costume in which she won her title. Video of the
award-winning performance can be seen at http://youtu. be/4noetKYN5GY
If YOU have a historic burlesque costume -- especially on related to
Boston -- that you think would make a good addition to the exhibit,
please drop us a line. We haven't yet finalized all of the items for
the exhibit!
