Download A Las Vegas Showgirl - Stories and Photos (Black and White) Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
A young girl from Buffalo takes a vacation to Las Vegas and her trip turns into a dream career on the Vegas stage. The author, a former showgirl/entertainer, has written a collection of vignettes of her life in the 1950s and early 60s when Las Vegas first became such a magical place, when legendary entertainers filled the lounge and showroom stages, notorious mobsters still roamed the Strip, and the Las Vegas showgirls reigned supreme. But this is not another research book on old Las Vegas. It is a collection of the author's memoirs describing what her life was like as a premier dancer and showgirl in some of the top hotel/casinos of that time. To add to the reader's nostalgic visit to the golden age of the Vegas Strip, she has included a mélange of personal photos and memorabilia. Enjoy the trip!

Download The Showgirl Costume Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Fashion is synonymous with change yet the iconic showgirl costume--feathers, sparkle and revealing clothes--has remained largely unchanged since the early 20th century. Beginning in the 1800s, a couture of the risque evolved from Paris nightclubs to Las Vegas casinos. The concept of glamour itself was based on what Parisian courtesans and burlesque performers wore. A tall pretty girl with headdress, nude core with spangles, high heels and dramatic makeup became a Gallic symbol and later the trademark of Hollywood musicals. France exported costumes and millinery--as well as whole productions from the Moulin Rouge, the Lido and Folies Bergere --to the U.S. and the world. More recently, cabaret styling has translated into today's day, sport and evening clothes.

The first full history of US nuclear secrecy, from its origins in the late 1930s to our post–Cold War present. The American atomic bomb was born in secrecy. From the moment scientists first conceived of its possibility to the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and beyond, there were efforts to control the spread of nuclear information and the newly discovered scientific facts that made such powerful weapons possible. The totalizing scientific secrecy that the atomic bomb appeared to demand was new, unusual, and very nearly unprecedented. It was foreign to American science and American democracy—and potentially incompatible with both. From the beginning, this secrecy was controversial, and it was always contested. The atomic bomb was not merely the application of science to war, but the result of decades of investment in scientific education, infrastructure, and global collaboration. If secrecy became the norm, how would science survive? Drawing on troves of declassified files, including records released by the government for the first time through the author’s efforts, Restricted Data traces the complex evolution of the US nuclear secrecy regime from the first whisper of the atomic bomb through the mounting tensions of the Cold War and into the early twenty-first century. A compelling history of powerful ideas at war, it tells a story that feels distinctly American: rich, sprawling, and built on the conflict between high-minded idealism and ugly, fearful power.
