| Description: | THE REAL "BLACK BOTTOM" DANCE Miss Mildred Melrose, a well known dancer at the Piccadilly Cabaret demonstrates the "real" Black Bottom dance. Titles tell us that few people here have seen the original version of this new dance, which Miss Melrose is supposedly going to demonstrate. They're right - this is a far cry from the dance shown in the preceding story, which was a cleaned up version. Miss Melrose, a rather chunky chorus girl, is clad in a skimpy sleeveless leotard thing w/ a sort of halter top w/ thin straps crossing in back & fringe all around the bottom half. She does a dance w/ lots of jumping around and wiggling and shaking. Includes MS's of her feet stepping and of her midriff thrashing about. | |
