Femme Fatale: Tempest Storm



Tempest Storm   Tempest Storm has one of the greatest stage names for any burlesque performer ever, but that isn't all she had. With flaming red hair and a figure that men would kill for, Tempest Storm soon went from chorus girl to strip-tease star. She also became a pin-up sensation with the help of legendary photographer and director Russ Meyer. She was one of the defining women in the golden age of the striptease, creating a lasting myth that every classic bachelor is thankful for. For those of you who weren't around to see her in her prime, you can luckily still find some of her strip-tease movies, most notably Teaserama, which stars her and Bettie Page. These films were meant then to be just stag films, but now are treasured as a glimpse into a world that no longer exists.
     If you want to get a real feel for her amazing performances, here's an essay on Tempest's act called "Weather Eye on Tempest Storm."
     Storm has retired from performing, but will hit the stage every once in a while (like she did at the 2006 Exotic World Weekend) to show the current generation what the golden age of burlesque was all about.
