  • Madame E (San Francisco, CA)

    Madame E started dancing in 1970 in Honolulu, as Pearl Divine, with the tagline, the Tit-less Wonder (given to her by her tattoo artists at the time, Sailor Jerry). She then traveled to Guam and through the Pacific, following the troops on R&R from Vietnam. After birthin' two babies, she left her serial killer husband and relocated to LA, working the local strip circuit to pay her way through college and a Journalism degree.

    This led to a career working private parties for rock bands and celebrities in Los Angeles such as Rod Stewart, Robert Plant, Billy Idol, David Lee Roth, Jack Nicholson, Robert Blake, Mickey Roark, and Pee Wee Herman. She returned to the burlesque stage in the early 2000s in San Francisco under her dominatrix name, Madame E, and was soon welcomed into the Burlesque Hall of Fame as a legend by Dixie Evans, and the rest is just old stripper history.
