Folies Bergere 6

Topless Showgirls
Although Harold Minsky was the first producer to bring topless showgirls to star in his shows, several productions followed pretty quickly. The hotels may have been shocked in the beginning, but they got over it when the saw the Minsky's show at the Dunes breaking records. The "Lido do Paris" opened in 1958 followed by the "Folies Bergere" at the Tropicana Hotel in 1959. The rest is Las Vegas history.

I was a showgirl at the Las Vegas Tropicana Follies Bergere and had many photos taken by the then photographer, Michael Negro. I was on the cover of the "Fabulous Las Vegas" and in both the Sun and Review Journal newspapers. I am looking for show programs and photos from that period. Please contact me if you have any photos or programs. Thanks.
