'Blonde, Beautiful and Buxom': Seattle, 1967
I FIRST SHOWED this Kodachrome slide of the Rivoli Theatre, Seattle's last house of burlesque, to the Daughters of the American Revolution in the mid-1980s. The DAR's program director, then in her mid-80s, had asked me to do an illustrated lecture (we then still called them "slide shows") on local history. I confess now to including the Rivoli in that lecture in order to ask the members if any of them had gone there to see a show.
The response was startling, and it came first and fast from my "sponsor." She exclaimed, "Oh I danced there!" This clamors for some explanation.
Lawton Gowey date-stamped his slide April 11, 1967. Knowing Gowey, I think it most likely that he photographed this east side of the block on First Avenue between Madison Street, where he stood, and Marion, because it would soon be razed to make way for the Federal Office Building. An ad in The Seattle Times that spring day promised "Blonde, Beautiful and Buxom Maria Christy in person! Plus extra added Zsa Zsa Cortez Mexican Spitfire — plus a stage full of beauties" in "4 shows daily" at the Rivoli.

The ancient Florentine “Lo Scoppio del Carro” goes on stage In Duomo plaza, under the Brunnelleschi’s Dom. At 11 am, from the Main Altar of the Cathedral, the “Colombina” burns the cart with the holy fire (a medieval construction) as sign of Joy for the resurrection of Jesus and as good omen for an abundant Spring and Summer time harvest. The fire has been brought to Florence by Pazzino de Pazzi from the Christ Sepulcher at the end of the First Crusade.
The Explosion of the Cart is preceded by a costume procession with the banner of Florence and the Pazzi family flag on top of it.
