Spotlight on Gypsy

This is #5 in my "Famous Flirts" series and depicts Gypsy Rose Lee (1911-1970), arguably the world's most famous burlesque striptease artist, with her performances always emphasizing the "tease" and less on the "strip." She was the subject of the very famous Broadway musical "Gypsy," which starred Natalie Wood in the movie version. This piece has well over 200 3mm (tiny!) hot pink rhinestones--each glued on meticulously one by one—in addition to large rhinestones as her headpiece and necklace, marabou feathers and 2 sparkly vintage rhinestone pins. You can't see 2 other pieces in this series because (horrors!) they show--get ready to be SHOCKED!--OMG, FEMALE NIPPLES! Imagine that, I have a portrait of Eve (who was created by God, with nipples), that you're not allowed to see, even though those nipples are composed of small flowers with a rhinestone center (entitled "Apple, Snake, Woman"). Oh, but MALE nipples are okay on this site. Get it? I don't. You CAN see these other pieces at www.Jayne-Somogy.pixels.com (the other is a portrait of Cleopatra entitled "Nile Nymph").
