Girls! Girls! Girls!
The carnivals, the girls, and the scams - a journey back through
time to the glory years of adult entertainment on the travelling
fairground. Many of these photos have never been seen before, and no
one has published a book exclusively devoted to the women (and men)
who performed in girl shows. Included are 200 photos from 1900
onwards in AW Stencell's book about this cultural phenomenon at the
fairground sideshow. Covered are girl shows' European origins, their
American developments, their heyday after World War II, and their
ultimate demise in the face of men's magazines, strip clubs, and
x-rated videos. |
