A Risqué Little Trotter

[Sheltowee]

Was looking at some photos of 1800s fashion, and stumbled on this image of a burlesque performer.

Admire her sassiness and flair- but in regards to the outfit- I say neigh.

Whoa girl.

Again, I cannot resist. This is just too good of a setup.

It looks like she is doing something that looks like a cross between a trot and a gallop. I guess that means she's a trollop.

She is showing ankle !! - hubba hubba Gotta like those hooved shoes too.

Gives whole new meaning to "she has a face like a horse".

Kind of petite in stature. I'd reckon about 11 hands high.

I just can't help it……

So. She walks into a bar and the bartender asks, "Why the long face?"

I don't know, she looks pretty fine equine to me!

Groan, groan and groan.

I wonder if her act was called Horsing Around.

 

[R. Porter]

You know she's not a vocalist, because she's a little horse.

Did someone already say, "she's hot to trot?"

Well, you can lead her to water, but…

Did somebody say something about sowing oats????

This is a promotional card for a Broadway show entitled "The Devil's Auction." The young lady depicted was the star, Eliza Blasina. The description of the plot is pretty wild :

"...it tells the story of a young peasant girl whose vulgar old father has given her to a bad old Count for wife; of a young man in shabby clothes who loves the young girl of a servant maid, who is in love with a donkey which she has charge of, and of Cupid, the God of Love, who takes the lovers under his protection."

And I thought Nell's attraction to Dudley Do-Right's horse was creepy … even as a kid.

That photo will give me night-mares.
