A month ago, sitting beside Kalani in her tranquil, beautiful home, just days after the Burlesque Hall of Fame pageant, recording the following interview, I felt both priviliged and excited.
Privileged, because Kalani had, despite her shyness and desire for privacy, had invited us in to look around her house and stay to chat (And we did, until the sun began to rise, and the conversation once the tape stopped was MINDBLOWING!)
But chiefly excited, because I have met Kalani repeatedly over the last few years and got to know her somewhat, and I thought for such a long time about what I would like to ask her and discuss with her if I ever had the chance &#; and I just knew she wouldn&#;t disappoint me.
Kalani casually remarks on the very things most of us would love to say out loud or admit to thinking, but never do. She has an incredible, breathtaking presence &#; almost regal in the way that Catherine [D&#;Lish] can be, and spending this intimate time with her imbued • These days, there’s many a slip between strip and the remsa. But it wasn’t always so. Once upon a time in Las Vegas’ spangled past, burlesque stars were marquee attractions along Las Vegas Boulevard. Even now, you can still find purveyors of racy, risque burlesque entertainment in Glitter City — if you know where to look. At 7 p.m. Thursday, the place to look may seem a bit unlikely: the Clark County Library, where burlesque performers past and present will discuss “Putting the Sin in Sin City: 60 Years of Burlesque in Las Vegas.” Co-sponsored bygd downtown’s Burlesque Hall of Fame, the free schema features s and ’60s headliner Tempest Storm, joined by Tiffany Carter (’s Miss Nude Universe), who performed from the late ’60s to the ’80s, and Kalani Kokonuts (Miss Exotic World of ), representing the s. Rounding out the panel: Cha Cha Velour, who runs the Las Vegas Burlesque Studio and produces and performs in a month • Tempest Storm, known as the Queen of Burlesque, has died aged The Las Vegas legend died in her home in Sin City, surrounded by her longtime friend and business partner Harvey Robbins, a nurse and burlesque performers Kalani Kokonuts and Miss Redd. Robbins confirmed her death, and said that Storm had been suffering from dementia and recently underwent hip surgery. Dita Von Teese was among the first to pay tribute to Storm, who went from working as a waitress in her 20s to becoming a Hollywood and Vegas headliner with her exotic dancing shows. Von Teese wrote on Instagram: ‘I’m sad to hear of the passing of #burlesque legend Tempest Storm. We were always in awe of her. I will never forget the first time I met her at #Glamourcon in the early 90s… I kept the pictures she autographed for me taped inside the door of my strip club locker. In the early s, @catherinedlish and I would book her to dance at our shows with &#;Queen of Burlesque&#; Tempest Storm dies aged 93
