 ‘The costumes in this is bonkers. 

‘The amount of feathers in this show cost something like $1 million dollars — just the feathers, not the costumes, the feathers. 

‘That was in 1981, so I don’t know how much that is now.

‘What I’m trying to do is merge my tour and bringing the crème de la crème of burlesque and dance world into one show. 

‘I’m just bringing in all of my own personal obsessions and fantasies and the best of what I love about burlesque and merge it together with a little wink of the eye toward Jubilee. I think Vegas needs something that continues the art of the showgirl and the art of burlesque,’ she said.
