You would have to ask Don. This was taken at the Nuggett Casino where I'm sure she was one of the many chorines.

Her styling hand is turned the wrong side up. Should have know she wasn't an Empress. At least not trained by Barbara. Still a neat trick and very pretty. Just our luck she will be his wife.

This is on stage at the Nugget in the early eighties. The showgirl is Jan Overbay. She had never been a showgirl before, let alone touched an elephant. But she had the muscles to move gracefully while on top of Bertha. Jan was the first lady I taught to perform with Bertha.
