| - I just adore this shop! My mother knows exactly who the owner is and has been dealing with this retired showgirl for all of my younger life. My mother performed ballet, belly dancing and participated in many of the Greek festivals as a dancer. The day I walked in to the store to use for my own purposes was a day in my history as a Burlesque performer for Las Vegas' first and only classic strip tease troupes, Babes In Sin Las Vegas Burlesque! I was so damn proud and, even though she had not heard of any of the new Burlesque going on, we had a connection through my mother. She told me about Tempest and Lili and several other Burlesque Legends that had frequented place. I love to hear about all the history of Vegas! I spent a whole day in there! It's easy to do, let me tell you ; ) Sequins patches and appliques, rhinestones, long fringe in a variety of colors, feathers, headress forms, materials, props...showgirl heaven!!! And here's a little tip for those of you who found your visit less than pleasant. Go in with confidence!!! If you don't, you'll be eaten alive. Same goes for the stage! You can't have anyone running you around. You need to know EXACTLY what you came in there for and they'll direct you right to it. If you are going to browse, fine, please do. Just don't give her the rope to hang you with!!! And if you can get her to tell you some stories...WINNING!!! You're not going to find another place like William's ever. This is a huge part of Las Vegas showbiz history. Embrace it and it will hug you right back!!!
