Ok guys! HUGE QUESTION! why aren't you guys doing any publicity for the Burlesque Hall Of Fame Weekend next week, or will it be in the next issue ?? It is a huge event with vintage burlesque women and troupes from all over!! The website is fantastic and very well done!!
That should be it's own full add for those of us who are tired of the same of cookie cutter fake breast types at a thumping night club (no offense)
For all of us vintage lovers you should also do full page ads for the Bettie Page store in the Miracle Mile Shops, most people don't even know it exist.
Please send me a link when you add it
Thanks
