GOD BLESS LILI ST CYR

In case you ever wondered who Susan Sarandon was namedropping in Rocky Horror:


Especially recommended if you like burlesque pics set to The Cramps' cover of "Fever".

She had her own line of lingerie, you know. You may remember the ads.



Elvira was a customer, evidently.

Good morning!

Undressed for success,

This is dF

Fever indeed. Gorgeous tribute.

I wonder if her stripper line is still in existence. I'd like a pair of Scanti-Panties, please.

(She was married SIX times? Talk about high maintenance.)

As far as I know, she sold her lingerie business to a competitor a long time ago, but no idea who or if they still exist. If they do, they don't trade on her name.

As you might expect, I vividly remember seeing those ads in magazines. Apart from the obvious attractions, I also like the art. You could probably never get away with lingerie ads without a photo today, but drawing adds a little personal flair to it. Which is probably why I'm a huge fan of cartoons and panties.

But you knew that.
