Oh, and as I just discovered, the video accompanying the Texas Observer story is definitely not suitable for office viewing.

Candy Barr is considered to be one of the “legends” by us burlesque performers. Thank you so much for posting the link. I will make sure I get this around to all of my Candy Barr fans.

Jerome, you need to get out of the office more often….

She was a beautiful woman. Dallas, not so much.
