Tempest
Storm
Tempest Storm is a beautiful red headed Burlesque Queen. She has class,
sophistication and a fantastic body with measurements of 42-21-34. I was
passing by the Bettie Page Clothing Store in Planet Hollywood when I saw
her surrounded by young beauties.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempest_Storm I asked her to be
on our radio show because I knew she would have great stories to tell
us. We were not disappointed. Tempest will be meeting her fans at the
store again next month.
Tempest Storm was born in a small country town in Eastman, GA and
thought there must be a better life. After moving to a few larger towns
in Georgia she went to California and worked as a cocktail waitress. She
was spotted and appointments were made for her to interview at the
Follies Theater. Tempest was naïve. When told about strip tease she
asked “What’s that” and said it was something she would never do. But,
that is history.
Tempest started her career in 1951 and played in many Las Vegas hotel
casino’s including the Aladdin, Hacienda and Dunes. Famous celebrities
like Elvis, Vic Damone, Engelbert Humperdinck and a young senator JFK
dated Tempest. When asked who was the best she said “Elvis is still the
King”. He was 22, she was 29 and she taught him everything he knew. She
reminisced about the days of burlesque when there were comics, big
bands, fabulous wardrobes and the tease. Tempest was a first class act
and lived by that from day one. That is why she has lasted this long. As
the best undressed star, she left something to the imagination.
At first she was asked if she liked the name Sunny Day. She said she
didn’t feel like a Sunny Day, so she took the name Tempest Storm. A
beautiful name for a beautiful lady.
Before she went into show business she worked at Simon’s Drive In in Los
Angeles as a car hop and that is where she met Bugsy Siegel who she
dated. She didn’t know anything about Bugsy, only that he was handsome.
On the night that Bugsy was blown away she had cancelled a date with him
because she had to work. Wow.
Tempest Storm and Bettie Page starred In the movie Teasearama in 1955
Last week Tempest was presented with the Sweet Louie Award at
Bootleggers for the First Living Legend Award. She is planning to write
another book. There is talk of a movie being made of her life. Christina
Aguilera has been mentioned to star in the role. Tempest said she would
like Catherine Zita Jones to play her in the movie. Can you picture
Catherine with flaming red hair? Another Wow. In 2004 at the Tropicana
Hotel, The Legend Hall of Fame Award was given to Tempest Storm.
On June 5th at the Palms Hotel, Tempest will be performing in the
World’s Burlesque Show. This is a show you cannot miss.
Vegas
Mob Tour
When Robert Allen started a ghost tour called Haunted Vegas Tour
everyone kept asking the same question every night. “Is the mob still
here”? Robert decided to join forces with Dennis Griffin, author of “The
Battle For Las Vegas” and “Culotta”. The tour is based on facts from
Denny’s books. He interviewed FBI agents, former law men, mobsters and
actual mob participants.
www.dennisngriffin.com
www.vegasmobtour.com The movie “Casino” was based on these
books. Denny is a retired Director of Investigations in New York State
Dept.
The tour guides are stand up comics who are very entertaining. The 2½
hour tour goes to the murder sites, car bombings and old mob hang outs
where you see the dark and sinister side of Las Vegas. Flat screen TV’s
on board also show the actual places. No opinions are given. Just facts
and the facts are fascinating.
Everyone loves to hear stories about the mob and both Robert and Dennis
are experts. So get a ticket, climb aboard, sit back and relax and have
an enjoyable evening. I will be going on the tour on April 28th and I
would love to meet and talk to all of you. There will be a surprise
guest on the bus that night too, so don’t miss it.
