True Burlesque Folly Kansas City Cleans up their Burlesque Act



True Burlesque Folly  Kansas City Cleans up their Burlesque Act

IN 1963, one "Miss Chickie Teas"  AKA Jarolyn Ann Tackett and "Miss Tele Star" AKA Nancy Linetta Freitag were arrested, along with Folly Burlesque owner Wally Nash for indecent performance and contributing to the delinquency of a minor in Kansas City.  Hmmm.  Two 16 year olds in the audience.  Well, I'm sure they turned out okay. 
 Guess what?  They cleaned up their act and are still at it!  Kansas City here I come.

Today Kansas City is booming with burlesque like never before, and their annual festival is coming up in MAY.


A successfully funded Kickstarter program allowed the girls to do the dance again, decades later! They've cleaned up their act!
