Gene Gemay and her Rubber Geenie. True Burlesque Dummy Style
True Burlesque Gene Gemay and her Rubber Geenie
Gene Gemay and her rubber dancing partner Genie, who is reported to weigh 90 pounds but the article does not indicate if that is while wearing his jewels and turban. Still, quite a bit of weight for Gene to toss around in her act. The stage routine begins with a "fire dance" of romance, and ends when Gene plants one right on Genie's rubber lips.
Photographs by Bill Bennett, 1954 Calvacade of Burlesque.
