Calamity Chang "The Asian Sexsation" : Mei Ling Burlesque Tribute

Mei Ling Burlesque Tribute - Photo Set

You may know about my burlesque tribute act to Mei Ling as shown at the end of this post. There are quite a few "Mei Lings" out there but this one is the one I've developed a tribute act to. I guess "Mei Ling" was a popular name for "oriental" exotic dancers in the 1940s! Not much is known about my Mei Ling other than that she signed her autograph with a knowing humour, "orientally yours".
Here are a couple of black and white portraits that I couldn't post on Facebook along with the rest of the series showing full costume. The video clip of my act can also be seen at the end of this post.

The Original Mei Ling!

Hi Calamity! Just saw these. Really, really cool! Nice to see all the details on your costume. The headdress is spectacular.
