Here’s some video taken by my friend April of the Brooklyn Bombshell Revue performing at the 2008 Coney Island Mermaid Parade.

Posted on June 15, 2008May 4, 2019 by

Check out this wonderful Busby Berkeley dance scene from the movie “Gold Diggers” (1933) featuring Ginger Rogers.  The song is “We’re in the Money,” of course.
