To add to my collection of vintage #burlesque memorabilia, I recently acquired this hand written letter from Lili St. Cyr to fellow burlesque headliner Lois De Fee. By reading it, one can tell that they were good friends while performing on the burlesque circuit. She speaks about her departure from #showbiz saying "...can't say I have missed it all that much, except for the loot, of course." She speaks of being lonesome for her nights in New York and how she and Lois would drop into each other's clubs to have a drink. She tells Lois about her little apartment just near Paramount Studios in Los Angeles, and how quiet her life is. You may know that Lili had a somewhat tumultuous life, and here she writes that she is now 73 years old "so it's only fitting for me to be behaving myself at last." She also speaks about her four cats and how delighted she is that Lois works with the Humane Society. She says "I am now one of those cranks who likes animals more than people." She also mentions the lingerie boutique that she had for a while. I have a lot of her lingerie catalogs, and I always regret that I didn't manage to see her shop before it closed in the 90s. Have a look at my Instagram stories for a look at some of my other #vintage burlesque documents including letters written by #fandancer Sally Rand, plus the original #BettiePage model release for the Irving Klaw studios.
