Back Stage Exhausted Girlie Plain Rutland Smile Un Attractive Vermont Worn
EDITORS COMMENTS
Backstage at the Girlie Show, Vermont State Fair, Rutland, September 1941: A Glimpse into the Unseen World of Burlesque Entertainment This evocative photograph transports us back in time to the bustling backstage of the girlie show at the Vermont State Fair in Rutland during September 1941. The scene is a stark contrast to the glitz and glamour of the public performance, revealing the raw, unpolished reality of the performers' world. The plain, worn backdrop, reminiscent of a bygone era, hangs limply in the background. The air is thick with anticipation and exhaustion as the women, dressed in plain clothing, prepare for their act. Their expressions vary from focused determination to weary resignation, revealing the physical and emotional toll of their demanding profession. The atmosphere is far removed from the alluring and attractive persona they assume on stage. The worn-out costumes, scattered makeup, and discarded props are a testament to the long hours and hard work that go into creating the illusion of a 'girlie show.' Despite the unglamorous surroundings, there is a sense of camaraderie and sisterhood among the performers. They share a knowing smile, a nod of encouragement, or a quick word of advice as they prepare for their next turn in the spotlight. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the world of burlesque entertainment during the 1940s in America. It serves as a reminder that behind every glamorous public persona lies a human story of perseverance, hard work, and the unwavering pursuit of art and self-expression.
