Tempest Storm Interview
Our first official live DrSuzy.Tv show from our brand new broadcast studio in Bonoboville at LAX takes off like a Gulfstream G650 with Rolls Royce BR725 A112 engines into the stratosphere of sex stars, featuring one of the brightest, longest-burning luminaries of erotic entertainment history, the living legend, Tempest Storm. The long-reigning Queen of Burlesque first wowed the world with her fantastic, all-natural 40DD-24-35 body (known as “the Tempest in a DD cup”) back in the pre-silicone 1950s, and continues to wow us with her amazing, trailblazing career of over 60 years that has far outlasted all her peers. Now she’s making a film, Tempest Storm Burlesque Queen, which we’re helping to “Kickstart” with this interview (please donate at TempestStormFilm.com—winner of Pitchfest LA at WestDoc 2013–so they can meet their goal, and we can see this movie!).
When Tempest burst on the scene and out of her clothes in the arid Eisenhower years, she was truly a hurricane of hotness. But unlike most erotic entertainers, she wasn’t just an afternoon shower. Long after most burlesque clubs gave way to go-go dancing and more explicit stripping and pole-dancing, Tempest kept on storming, keeping the tease in striptease, and always giving her all to her true, longest-lasting love, her audience. Her private life was just as exciting as the seductive image she presented onstage, especially in those Mad Men 1950s. She was Elvis’ girlfriend, JFK’s mistress, pals with Marilyn, friends with Sinatra and lunchmates with mobster Mickey Cohen. Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis, spoofing the Oscars, presented her with a “Mickey Award” for “Best Two Props in Hollywood.”

You're listening to Radio Susie 1 on the World Wide Web. And now, here she is, Dr. Susan Block. Brothers and sisters, lovers and sinners, you are tuned to Dr. Susie TV,
and I am the irreverent Dr. Susan Block, your mistress of the airwaves and your servant. And I want to welcome you to the first official Dr. Susie TV live broadcast from our new studios
in the new Bonoboville at LAX with a capital X. And it's very exciting here. We're just getting all of our equipment rolling. And ooh, can you hear the planes taking off?
Tonight, we're taking off into the stratosphere of sex, brothers and sisters. And we are honored to have as our very special guest a very special star
and a very, very special human being whose name has long been a household word. And that is, oh my, an entertainment tsunami. That is Tempest Storm, the one and the only
the living legendary queen of burlesque and erotic entertainment sensation who first wowed the world with her fantastic amazing body and seductive style
and continues to wow us. With her amazing trailblazing glamorous, deliciously naughty strong, honest, unparalleled career
of over 60 years that has thus far outlasted all of her peers. Actually, it has outlasted all of her peers. And now she's making a film.
Hi, I'm Amisha. And I'm Caitlin. And we're the filmmakers behind the feature documentary Tempest Storm Burlesque Queen, currently in production.
Tempest Storm Burlesque Queen, which we are helping to kickstart tonight here on Radio Susie One and Dr. Susie TV. Our first show, we are very, very happy to welcome
the one and only, the living legendary, the amazing trailblazing Tempest Storm. Welcome, Tempest. Or Miss Storm.
Either way, you're a hurricane. Of hotness. That's for sure. Can you hear me, Tempest?
Yes. All right. Welcome. Thank you so much for joining us.
How are you doing tonight? I'm doing great. How about you? Oh, I'm doing good.
I'm actually great now that you're on. You know, it was a, we're just getting started. This is our first show from our new location. But I am so honored and delighted you are one of my
heroes to have you on tonight's show and to promote interest in the new movie that's being made about your amazing life and hopefully get people to chip in, to kickstart it.
So, well, you look fantastic. I love the hat. Of course, I love hats. And the boa.
I love boas, you know. And I must say, I'm inspired to wear boas by you. They're so feminine. I live without my boas.
Yeah, you do. And I saw you went back into your closet. Very nice. All the boas and the robes and the beautiful things.
They're beautiful. So, well, how does it feel to be a sex icon? It feels great. I'm the only one, I'm the only one left.
Yes, you are. You have outlived, you know, blaze star Betty Page. Of course, Betty Page, who played your maid in T-Zorama. Here we have a picture of Betty placing up your car.
I have a Betty Page dress on tonight. You do. This is a Betty Page dress. Wow, with the polka dots.
You know what? I have on Betty Page stockings with polka dots. See? Right there.
Oh, my seams are a little crooked, but they're from Secrets in Lace. I might as well lift my leg. Yeah, there you go.
Secrets in Lace, Betty Page stockings. And we love Betty. What was she really like? You would be my understudy.
What was she like to work with on T-Zorama by Irving Claw? Oh, it was great. And Betty was great. That's the only time that I ever smiggled with her.
I never got to see her again. Every time I tried to see her, the big shots would, you know, knock it down. So I never, that was the last time I saw her.
That was the first time I met her. Well, it was a magic moment. It made T-Zorama into a real classic. That is a classic burlesque movie,
and somehow that fact that you never were together other than that might have helped contribute to that. Although that's kind of sad, because I think you'd have been girlfriends, huh?
But you were girlfriends with Marilyn Monroe, weren't you? Yes, we were very good friends. We used to live next door. Really? Like in Beechwood Canyon,
or somewhere in Hollywood, right? I'm not the long pray in Hollywood. Long pray, wow. You were neighbors.
Was this before she became Marilyn? Was she Norma Jean? We kept each other out of trouble. Really?
I don't know about that. Not really. So who had a love affair with JFK first, you or Marilyn?
I don't know who was first or second, but it doesn't matter. No, not really. What matters is that you slept
with a president of the United States. I was the first. And the sexiest president, you know? I'll take credit.
Go ahead, girl. Take the credit. And how did it happen? Have all the leftovers. Yeah?
What was he like? How did it go down? It wasn't really leftovers after all. Oh, really? Wow.
You just wore him out, huh? Yeah. And Elvis Presley as well. Oh, yes.
In fact, with Elvis, you were more of a real girlfriend. We have a picture of you and Elvis right here. This is a series of pictures. We've got you and Elvis, Tempest and Elvis,
and a beautiful picture of Tempest in the middle that I just love that cleavage. Oh, my goddess. And you are a goddess.
And that is real cleavage. That is real. There's no wonder bra. There's no silicone.
This is real. What is it? 40 double D? Everything I have is my own.
That's right. And they said sometimes it was 48 double D. But you corrected them and said it was 40 double D. But Elvis, you're here with Elvis in this picture.
I love it because, you know, it seems like you're all dressed up in this La May outfit. Kind of gold La May, I guess. It's black and white.
But it seems as though you taught Elvis how to dress, because he started dressing like that when he did his Vegas. I taught him everything he knows. See what I'm saying?
How to dress, how to make love. Yeah. Yeah. You, I mean, you...
He was 19 and I was 22. Really? You were his older woman. Yeah.
And how did you get together? Did he come to one of your shows or did you come to one of his? Yeah, well, both.
But he came to see me first at the Dunes Hotel. He came to see you first. What a lady you are. What a goddess.
And these measurements, you know, 40 double D, 25, the waist very small. Very tiny waist, naturally tiny. It's still the same.
And still the same. How do you do it, girl? I work out. Yeah.
What's your favorite stomach exercise? I need to know this. I walk and I do a lot of exercises on my bike, portable bike I have.
I do it every day. I don't miss a day. You don't miss a day? You stay in really good shape.
I never smoke and I never did drugs. Gosh, you're much healthier than anybody here in Bonoboville. That's for sure. Never smoked, never did drugs.
And you were hanging out in these dens of iniquity, smoking. I was around all that. But they never smoked.
I toured with the James gang, which was a rock group in 1973. They used to kid me to come up and have a smoke. I said, I don't believe that.
I said, I like it. I also like it. I guess you do. It's amazing.
And you are amazing. You're a pioneer. And let's start about the beginning. You were born in 1928, I believe,
but on leap year day. So you're only 21, right? So I have a birthday every four years. Right.
Okay. So you're just able to drink anyway. You weren't allowed to drink before anyway. I'm only 21.
There you go. And you're a southern belle. Yes. What was it like for you growing up in the south?
Terrible. It would take all night to explain that. In a nutshell. I left.
You left. You suffered some abuse. And by the way, I want to say that in the film, in the preview to the film, you talk about that.
We won't go into too much detail, but I guess you do in the film. You suffered some abuse. You were raped by some men of the law.
It was some bad stuff. I was born in Eastman, Georgia. I worked in the cotton fields. I came from a very poor family.
I think it was 12 or 13. I had made this white dress, and I wanted to go downtown to just walk around. And I went in to get an ice cream cone,
and I walked out in this sheriff's son, and I had seen him in school. And he was in this car with this cab driver and two other guys.
They grabbed me and put me in the car, and they took me up in the hills and raped me one by one. And then they said,
if you tell anybody, we'll kill you. I think that's one reason I chose dancing because I get unconditional love from my audience every time I walk out on that stage.
And even though you didn't spend much time with Betty Page, Betty Page also went through hard times. You are listening to the Dr. Susan Block show on the Saberook Broadcasting Network.
And tonight we are talking about the private and public life of the inimitable Betty Page. She is on the line with us right now, doing her first live voice interview.
And we're just so excited to be with her. I'm so glad to be talking to you. Yeah. And you're here to promote your book,
the authorized biography of Betty Page. Look at everything in the book, good and bad, incidents in my life.
I didn't leave out anything. No. Some of it may be shocking to the readers, but I just told truth about it all.
So you broke out. You've been married twice, and you were like 20-something when you went to California?
Well, I left home when I was 14. I sort of worked my way up to California. I worked as a waitress in Columbus, Georgia, then Macon, Georgia, and I went to California.
And what made you want to go to California? I wanted to become a star. What did that mean to you when you were 14 in Georgia? I don't know.
I always wanted to be a star. I used to see the movies downtown, and I always thought the actresses were backstage. Oh, you thought they were backstage,
and you could go meet them. But, you know, actually, not in the movies maybe, but you became a star that people could meet backstage,
that stars came to meet backstage, because you were such a special star. Yeah. And you still are, of course.
I mean, you are amazing. So, okay, so you went to California? I left a hug at my G-string, yes. All right.
Are you wearing it under that Betty Page dress? No. Well, it helps to make your figure look smoother. You looked so good in a G-string
and one of those bra, those pointy bras. Oh, my God. We had some great pictures of you on the site. And so you came out there to be a Hollywood star.
I guess you didn't really know anything about striptease and burlesque, did you? Nothing. Nothing?
You were like a corn fed country girl. And, well, maybe not. But you've been married a couple times. You had some experience.
But you go there and how did you find out about burlesque? Well, I was working as a cocktail waitress in a very small bar in Huntington Beach, which is the server with Los Angeles.
Of course. We know Huntington Beach. There was a guy on the men's clothing store and he said, you should be in the movies.
I said, oh, I hear that every day. He said, let me make an appointment. This lady is getting rid of all the professional girls and bringing all the new girls, young girls.
And I said, doing what? And he says, striptease. And I said, what's that? I didn't even know if striptease was it.
You didn't even know what it was. Wow. But I finally went down and had a good point with him until you hired me.
And I started in the chorus room. And I listed with Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis and it was in the paper the next day. And I was on my way.
You were definitely on your way. And speaking of Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis, let's see, what did they call you? They had a name for you.
The best two props in Hollywood. Well, it was a name for your assets. Bill Harris got an award, a Vicki award for having the most phone calls at the Brown Derby.
And I got an award for having the biggest props in Hollywood. Well, yes, indeed. But I mean, the biggest, with the tiniest ways, I think we have to say that this is an amazing measurement,
the way you had this figure and the way you presented yourself, of course. Who were your, once you got into Berlesque, were you inspired by other stars like Gypsy Rose Lee
who was older than you? Well, the first Berlesque desert that I saw was Lily St. Cyr. Ah, Lily St. Cyr.
I thought she was classy. And I said, well, if I'm going into the business, I'm going to be as classy as that classy. And so I made up my mind in the beginning
that I was not going to do anything that would embarrass my audience, the women in the audience. So I sent my own routines.
Classy and sexy. Classy and sexy. Well, yes, that is you, darling. You are classy and sexy from beginning to end.
And the end is nowhere in sight. Because look at you. Are you still performing? Yes.
Awesome. Good for you. I was just in New York, in Toronto, and I'm going to Iowa. Iowa? Wow, and traveling.
You must love traveling. I love it. I love it. And you seem to love your life. I mean, listen, I love Betty Page,
but she quit at a certain point. And she, you know, she found God. She became a Christian. And there's nothing wrong with that.
But I so admire the fact that you became a star and you kept on blazing and you're still blazing. What keeps you going?
Well, I think you have to have a great attitude. You don't worry about the years, you know, about getting older. Some women, well, they say to themselves,
oh, I'm getting older, you know, and they worry about getting old instead of worrying not to get old. And I cannot identify with the age that I am.
To me, I'm still in my 30s. Well, you look at it. Sometimes I have to, too. You look at it, and I'm sure a lot of it is nature's gifts,
or God's, or the goddess's gifts. But it is also your, you know, you've had led this healthy life. And you do, you have this great attitude.
You don't feel guilty. I mean, you do it the way you want to do it. You never got pushed by anybody, I don't think. I get unconditioned by my conscience.
Aww. Well, you deserve it. And you love him back. Do you know who Jack White is?
Yes, and he's... I got a recording for him last year. I'll show you the cover. Oh, okay.
Can you raise it up a little? Just for... Oh, look at this. Beautiful.
Wow. Just beautiful. Amazing. Just great pictures.
You know, you are a phenomenon. You are Venus incarnate. And I mean, I don't know, every woman can't be tempest storm,
but we can be inspired by you. And inspired by the fact that you never quit. And that you haven't given in on your sexuality. You know, so many women, it's like,
either they feel too old, or they just get very vulnerable to criticism. What kept you strong? As long as I've been in this business,
I have never, ever had a bad writer. And I have traveled all over the world. I went to London, which is very critical. And I have a great rapport with the reporters.
Well, that's good. That's great that you've never had that. But I happen to have read or heard on your movie that, well, you fell in love with a singer,
with a singer, an African-American singer. And he was in Duke Ellington's orchestra, Herb Jeffries, he was also an actor, and you got married.
Right? Right. And was it true that Hollywood blackballed you because of that relationship?
No. No. Oh, okay. Set us straight then, Tempest.
Well, a couple of movies I lost. Oh, okay. A couple of movies. You lost a contract.
Never affected me. Well, see, it never affected you. You know, I mean, because it's written up in places that you lost these contracts and that that was,
you know, kind of a setback, but it didn't set you back, huh? And I would say that's the worst mistake I ever made. What was the worst mistake?
Marrying him. Oh, really? You got divorced and that... He was a bad mistake for you.
Bad mistake. Can you tell us why? So we don't make the same mistake. I was working in the fields, picking cotton,
chopping, pulling up peanuts, and I had this black lady that was next to me and she was so sweet and kind to me. I've got more kindness from her than I did to my own family,
which really me like dirt. And so I never... I was never... She was like...
As a must-have, she was a human being. So I did not have any racial difficulty. No, I wouldn't think so. And after all, you married him,
but you know, some marriages don't work out. Yeah. Yeah, so this was one. What?
A long time ago. He's still living in 102. Is he? Well, he's got one of the secrets you have then,
I guess, even though you didn't get along. The two of you must have been hot for a minute there. I bet. Wow.
Okay. Well... He was... He was a nice person.
He was, you know, but he was a little bit insane jealous. He's so kind of... He was jealous.
I was going to ask, is the stereotype true, do you think? Are black men better lovers? I don't know.
Well, these men, sometimes you get a boyfriend or a husband. Oh, it's great to wear the low-cut gowns until you married them. And then they want you to wear much up around your throat. Ah.
Well, who are you married to now that you're wearing a dress up to your throat? I have a significant other. Is he jealous?
No. I met him five years ago. Okay. Yes.
Well, you always seem to have at least once somebody. I'm happier now than I've ever been. Say that again. Wow.
You're happier now than ever. Because of him? Yes. Really?
You're really in love. I've had more laughs. More happy days. Unbelievable.
Unbelievable. Awesome. And is he going to be part of your film that you're making now?
Yes. Yes. And you're making this film about your life? He's also my manager.
Okay. Well, you know, I believe in falling in love with your manager. I did the same thing. It's convenient that way.
It keeps me working. It keeps me working. Yes. Yes.
And it keeps those endorphins, you know, flowing. Yeah. Because you're a bit of a workaholic, aren't you? Yes.
I like to work. I mean, you love your work. Your work is so much fun. I'd like to meet my fans.
And I'm a great inspiration to all these young girls. And I autographed my photos after the shows. And these young girls are absolutely amazing. One girl walked up to get an autographed photo.
And she had tears in her eyes. She says, you're such an inspiration to us. Aw. And of course, one of our favorite guests on our show,
Dita Vontiz, has been very inspired by you. And I think she's going to be in your film and go with you to some festival or something. Go with you to some performance.
Dita Vontiz. Dita Vontiz? Yes. Yes.
And you're going to go back home or go back to some place in the south, aren't you, part of the trip, to see some of those places where people didn't treat you too well? Or maybe see some of those people?
One people. Everybody treats me great. Yeah. Well, you said the people from your family that you grew up with,
but you've outlived them most of them. I'm in touch with a couple of them that I still talk to. But I haven't seen them in maybe 10 years. Oh, that's all.
Okay. But are they now supportive since you've become an icon? Oh, yes. Yes.
My brother, my favorite brother calls me once in a while and my sister, my other brother. We won't talk about him. Oh, so your other brother, was he one of the people that treated
you bad? Because I had a stepfather at home. Oh. And when he found out that I was doing burlesque,
he says, you'll never get to heaven like that. And I said, well, I know somebody that won't be there. Did you grow up in a- I'm here for a long time.
The man upstairs doesn't want me. And the devil gave up on me a long time ago. So I have no place to go. Well, we love you here.
We do. And, you know, there's a lot of places in between heaven and hell. And heaven and hell are just extremes anyway. They're boring.
So did you grow up in a religious family? Well, not- They got a church, but, you know, not really fanatics, but they believe in it.
And what do you consider yourself now? Are you spiritual? Or what do you believe? I'm Jewish.
You're Jewish? Me too. Shalom. Wow.
You converted? I mean, you didn't grow up Jewish in this- No. You're teasing me.
I got all excited. Well, so you're not religious. My significant other is Jewish. Smart girl.
Nice Jewish boy. Okay. So, you're- I don't know.
How would you define your philosophy or your spirituality? Well, I believe in God. Yeah. And I'm not a fanatic.
You know, not one of those holy rules, but I believe in God. Okay. And how do you see yourself in the whole universe?
I mean, do you really think that you wouldn't be able to get into heaven? I mean, don't you think that what you've been doing has been good for the world? I do. Yes, I do.
Certainly have. I believe that. What do you try to give people when you're on stage? Well, number one, you have to-
the minute you hit that stage, you have to make up your mind that you're going to entertain these people. And me, myself, and I've had different people remarked about it.
I have something that really comes over my face the minute I hit stage. You have to entertain that audience with your eyes, your smile. Make them think that they're the only person out there. And it's incredible, really, what happens when I hit the stage.
And a lot of people have remarked about it. They said, something comes over your face. It's absolutely fantastic. I said, no, I feel it.
I saw that come over your face in a YouTube clip of you from a 1980 performance. And it was at a convention of Berlesque or something. And it was in a time when supposedly Berlesque was out of fashion. And you just never let that get you down.
And you get out there, I don't know how old, like 50-something. And it's 1980, and you get out there with that look comes over your face like you've been literally blessed by God, like you light up. Or maybe you've got a good lighting guy.
It's beautiful. It's beautiful. And how about that red hair? Is that natural, of course?
I beg your pardon. What did you say? Red hair. Yes, well...
No. I'm originally a brunette. Oh, wow. Okay.
Very dark hair. But when I first started... When you come up with redhead. When I first started at Lilian Hunt, who was a choreographer at the theater.
And I kept saying, I want to be a redhead. She said, well, you look great with dark hair. You look like Hayden Amar. I said, but I want to be a redhead.
I don't want to look like someone else. I want to be me. Okay, go ahead. So I've been a redhead.
1976, I went brunette for a while for about a year. And I loved it. But the audience, you know, I didn't think they could identify that. It's known as a redhead so long.
Well, it just certainly matches your fiery personality. So it's great, the red hair. And one lady asked me once. She walked up to me and she said, what color is your hair?
And I look at her. I said, in your face red. Oh, yes. In your face with that fabulous front, which was insured.
I understand your breasts were insured for a million dollars. Is that correct? That is correct. And so you kind of became super famous in the 1950s.
You did these shows at the El Cid in San Francisco. Was it the El Cid? Yeah. And then in the 60s, we have the sexual revolution.
And how did that affect your life and your career? It didn't affect me at all. I mean, it affected burlesque because in, you know, a lot of clubs everybody went go-go.
Carol Dota was taking it all off and kind of just kept dancing with it all off. So your career kept going because your tempest storm. Well, it was, you know, I had a lot of that worked with a lot of feathers
and I said, well, did she or didn't she? I went to London, England. And Paul Raimans reviewed my club. And at this time I wore two G-strings and I took one off.
And he came to me. He says, your number is just fabulous. You're fabulous. Could you take that last G-string off?
And I said, no, we don't do that sort of thing in America. But engagement was fine when I got back to America four months later. They were taking off everything. Right.
So after all, we don't do it different anymore. So did you take it all off? No. No?
No. Kept your G-string on. Okay. Wow.
And you kept going because your tempest storm. Well, there's a way of taking it off without it really being bumping. Why? Taking it off without it really being bumping.
That is the secret of striptease. The tease. Did she or didn't she? What about feminism?
Did that affect you? No. No? I never got involved with that.
Well, I don't know if you needed to be liberated. I mean, maybe some people would think you really did. But you were kind of doing your own thing. Yeah, doing my own thing.
So what do you think about this girl who's a big star right now? You, of course, were an erotic sensation in the 1950s. And now Miley Cyrus, the pop star, you know who she is? Yes, I know.
I saw that. Yeah. So she, of course, did this wild performance. She didn't take it all off.
No? No. She was wearing sort of skin-colored bra and panties. But it kind of gave the illusion, like you say, of taking it all off.
And of course she does this twerking, which is really just a fast kind of shaken. Like, you know, burlesque dancers have done for a long time. Personally, I don't know what she was trying to do. But it was not sexy.
You didn't find it sexy. Right. No, I didn't either. I didn't find it sexy.
But it was cute. I mean, what do you think about all the people criticizing her? I'm not being critical. I can just picture myself going on stage and doing something like that.
I think I lost my mind. Not sexy. Well, that's the big criticism that you've got of her. And it's not really a criticism.
It just didn't turn you on. And what she did, it turned me off. You know, I thought that was very unbecoming. For a star to do something like that.
Yeah. Well, would you think that she shouldn't do that? She shouldn't. Oh, OK.
That's my opinion. Well, I respect that opinion. You know, and I'm not a huge fan of what she did. It was kind of busy, actually.
There was a little too much happening on stage. I did something like that. They were crucified. Well, but it is the 21st century tempest.
And they go farther and farther and farther. And I mean, the twerking, isn't that like what Elvis did when they cut him off at the waist on the Ed Sullivan show? True.
I'm not being an hypocrite. No, I know. I'm just a classy, sexy lady. What can I tell you?
I understand. You're classy and sexy. Well, I've done many of all these movie stars. And to their own thing.
I just, you know, I'm different. I know how to handle myself. And I wouldn't be in this business this long if I didn't do something right.
So. I followed a trend. I did my own thing. Yes, you did.
You did do your own thing. And you're still doing your own thing. Yes, yes. And this movie, by the way,
that is being made about your life, both the past and what you're now going through, it's called Tempest Storm for Less Queen. And it's made by some lovely young ladies
who are working very hard to gather together the funds for this. So we have a link to this film on our site. And you have a link on your Twitter at Real Tempest
so that people can contribute. She's absolutely great. Yeah. So what kind of advice do you have for Miley then?
I think, well, I'm not really getting it right. You know, I think she could have done it in a different way instead of, you know, like a wild, crazy woman. You know, I kind of think she was doing a little bit like Marilyn,
you know, your friend, your old friend, who made fun of the dumb blonde routine. She made fun of it. Yes.
And in a way, Miley's doing that too. Yes. Right. She's making fun of it a little bit.
And maybe, you know, some of us are a little, we don't get the joke. Well, she's doing her own thing. She's doing her own thing.
I did, you know, my own thing, no matter what anybody said. You do your own thing. What you feel is...
And that's what you're still doing. And finding love. That is just such a beautiful thing. So, what else is this film going to do?
Are you going to go anywhere on the film? We're going to go anywhere. I'm going to Iowa. Iowa.
Oh, that's part of the film going to Iowa. This is the festival, the Berlesque festival you're going to go to? Yes. The festival.
Correct. Mm-hmm. Meet all my fans. Talk to them.
And is your boyfriend going to go with you? A lot of these, what? Is your boyfriend going to go with you? Yes.
He is. Yes. Oh, all right. And you're going to introduce him to people?
Do you think your fans will get jealous of you being your boyfriend? As far as my fans know, it's fine. Mm-hmm. So, did you say your boyfriend, your current boyfriend gets jealous?
No. No. He's pretty... He loves the fact that you're a big star.
Just believing that. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Well, that's perfect.
He's your manager. Of course, he wants to maximize that, you bet. Yeah. And so, you're in Vegas now, right?
Yes. So, what do you like to do in Vegas for fun? Well, I lived here before when I worked the Dunes Hotel in the Hacienda. First time I came to Vegas was 1951 in a small nightclub in Northlose, Vegas.
So, I saw Vegas grow up from the 50s until now with all the big hotels. And I lived here then, and then I... In 2005, I moved back up here. Because you have everything here.
You don't gamble, and I don't gamble. You don't gamble either. I learned my lesson in Reno at the Hilton when I was doing a show at the Hilton Hotel. Uh-huh.
What happened? I lost about $40,000. Wow. And you didn't keep losing, though.
You knew when to cut it off. You're so disciplined. Yeah. It just goes to show you a lot of people think of...
I just cut it off. I will not... Strippers as out of control. And you're very under control, very disciplined.
I control my life. I control everything around me. As far as my career is concerned. Your career...
And how about your family? Do you have kids? I have one. Yeah.
Are you a son or daughter? One daughter. And how's she doing? Well, she tried it for maybe a couple of years, and she gave it up.
She tried burlesque? Yes. Uh-huh. What's not for everybody?
She doesn't want to do it. I have one granddaughter. Well, good for you. And they're part of your life, and it's all positive.
She's 19. Does she have the family talent? Well, unfortunately, she has autism. Oh.
Very, very attractive. That's tough to deal with, but, you know... She's smart as it with, but she has some things that are wrong with her. Her speech is not very good.
Well, that can be tough to deal with, but it seems like you're dealing with it. But she has a good mother, so she takes care of her. You know, everybody's got a different path, and your daughter's path is to help her out and to help her lead a good life.
We talk quite often. Good for you. Yeah. So, did your boyfriend give you that beautiful necklace around your neck?
Of course. Nice. So, I heard that you have some interesting things in your apartment there. Is it possible we could see anything in there?
Can we... You're in the computer room right now. Oh, okay. So, you don't have the pictures in there or the album?
I don't know. I wanted to show you when I was a brunette. Oh, yeah. Sure.
And we're now broadcasting live from Radio Susie One on DrSusie.tv with Tempest Storm, the living, legendary, amazing, trailblazing, burlesque queen. You want to see me as a brunette? Sure. Let's see you as a brunette.
Hold it up. Oh, look at you. Ooh, raven haired. Yes.
Very nice. I mean, more dark and sultry, really. But I know why the crowd likes the fire engine red hair. Yeah.
What else you got there? Go bring the album. Yeah, he'll bring it down. This black one in the top.
Yeah, on the album. On the album. On the album. I'll be back.
Okay. So you don't live with your boyfriend, though, huh? What? Great being interviewed by you.
I'm loving it. Oh, well, I'm loving it. I mean, you have such great energy and you speak your mind. You know, I don't totally agree with you about Miley,
but I certainly, you know, I'm a huge fan of yours. And of course, you know, having interviewed Betty Page in 1996, I've followed your career. And I'm just so impressed by your belief in yourself,
your commitment. Siegfried and Roy here in Vegas. Oh, yeah. Oh, look at that.
Now, see, there you are as the luscious redhead with Siegfried and Roy. Uh-huh. Beautiful.
That was recently. These recent recordings. I don't know how you do it. Do you have a plastic surgeon you recommend?
I mean. And this was recently. Wow. Hold it up a little more.
Whoa. Look at that smile. You look hypnotic there. You look like you look when you start a performance there.
Yeah. Just, you know, angelic. So lovely. And so simple about the whole thing.
Like, you know, it's no big deal except this lady started doing this in the fifties. Oh, here you are in glasses. That's cute.
And is that you in the glasses? Yeah, that's me. Okay. And then who's the guy over there?
Is that your boyfriend? Oh, it's Wes Winters. He's a performer in Vegas. Oh, okay.
All right. Very nice. And speaking of the fifties, I have a child of the fifties here on the microphone.
Here's Captain Max. Another one of your admirers. Here's my birthday. Oh, your birthday.
What? This was your 21st birthday? Yes. That's great.
Who's the lucky fella? So say hello, Max. Max is my husband. He's going to say hello now as we look at your album.
Hello. Hi. I've been a big admirer of yours since I was a young, young man. I hear that all the time.
I'm a product of the fifties. Yeah, great. You know, with Elvis and Marilyn and all of those wonderful people, including yourself.
Yes. Yeah. I've had one great career and I'm not finished yet. No, you're still having it.
That's what's amazing. Six decades? Wow. Pretty much six decades so far.
That doesn't give your age away, right? But it's amazing. I mean, it's so inspiring. This film is going to really inspire a lot of young ladies out there
who are in burlesque. You know, burlesque used to be, at first it was for, I guess, men. And then more couples came. And we do have some burlesque fans.
Burlesque girls here. We actually are our producer. Lily and our manager, Trixie. Do you guys want to say hi to Tempest?
So this is our new, brand new producer, Lily. Give her the microphone. Okay. So Lily is dressed in a corset and stockings.
My very first corset, actually. And you have your hair dyed red in her honor as well. Of course. Of course.
Yeah. So you're Lily, right? Of course. Hi, Tempest.
How are you? I'm fine. How are you? I'm very, very well.
Nice meeting you. Thank you. So, you know, I've studied you very much in my burlesque performances along with Lily St. Cyr and a lot of your friends.
Thank you. Well, so I'd like to know that I'm an inspiration to all of your girls. Oh my goodness. Forever and ever you are.
For generations, generations of dancers, you will always be a legend. So thank you so much. Thank you. I do have one question for you.
Go for it. Thank you. Tempest, you have to tell me, what is your favorite pasty adhesive? Good question.
Favorite pasty adhesive. Of Scots tape. There you go. She's right and true.
Double-sided. Double-sided humidity proof. She likes them to fall off sometimes. What was the very, very first adhesive?
Adhesive tape. That's fantastic. Yeah. I went through a lot of trial and error.
What do you use? I started out with eyelash adhesive. Then I went into industrial strength construction tape. Humidity proof construction tape.
After being in the business for a little while. Okay. Well, that was really a professional question right there. It's actually a really big secret I probably should not have discussed that.
Sure Tempest would understand, right? It's the only thing I'll ever use. Ever, ever, ever. So Trixie.
Trixie. Take the mic. You can sit on her lap. Here we go.
Hello Tempest. You look fantastic. You can hold a picture of Tempest. Careful now, you're okay.
This is my favorite picture. So I'm very excited for your movie that's coming out. I was thrilled. Even when the Kickstarter got me excited about it.
Oh, that's a great question. I picked this one out. This one's my favorite. We had a whole wide selection of pictures to choose from.
And this one was my absolute favorite. Very angelic. That's great. Let's show this one.
This is a recent one here. Kind of recent. It looks like it could be. We love this one.
Yes. Do you remember this? Yes. That was about two or three years ago.
Okay. Fantastic, darling. I want to look like you when I grow up. Do you have any face cream that you use?
I use Estee Lauder. Estee Lauder. I hope they're a sponsor. Your own line.
Your own line. Do you have lines of other things that we should know about? I know. Do you have a clothing line or a for less school that we could promote?
Because I'm sure the great tempest storm has to have some sort of merchandise. Something I could participate in. Well, other than the Kickstarter. The Kickstarter is it, folks?
We got to donate. I've donated. I mean, I did a small donation because, you know, Bonoboville, it's rough. Yeah.
It's rough. It's rough. It's rough. We're out on the frontier here.
But, you know, I did contribute to the project because I think you're absolutely fantastic. And I love you, Tempest. Thank you. You're amazing.
Thank you. Thank you. Bye. All right.
So my girls, I got to sit down because these high heels are killing me. But here we go. All right. So, yeah, you've got a lot of fans here, Tempest, and you've got a lot that are on Skype, but
we can't put them through right now. You were also, besides being JFK's mistress and Elvis's girlfriend. And we won't talk about that ex-husband of yours, any of them. But you were Mickey Cohen's maul.
Another Jewish guy, right? Or is that not true? I can't get away with anything. Yeah.
Well, I don't know whether to believe what I read on the Internet, but I wanted to check and see if that was true. I used to have lunch or dinner with them once in a while. Yeah?
As far as it went. Really? No sex? Scout center.
Wow. What would it take to seduce Tempest? What kind of guy did you go for? Or do you go for?
Well, tall, handsome, educated. Yeah, all the things. For the editing. Handsome. Yeah.
With lots of money. With lots of money. Does your current boyfriend have lots of money? To keep me the way I'm accustomed to.
Yeah. Keep you in bows and jewels. Absolutely. Did you know Mae West by any chance?
No, I never met her. You never met her? She was in bows and jewels all the time. Yeah.
But she wasn't, I don't know that she was a, well, she was a burlesque performer. She was a comedian and just very sexual. She was very good. Very good.
Uh-huh, uh-huh. What was your favorite club to perform in? My favorite? I would say the Dunes.
Here in Vegas, which is now the Bellagio. And of course, Carnegie Hall. I made a tour in 1973 with the James, to get James gang, which is a rock group. We did six weeks of one-nighters.
And it was a fabulous tour. I enjoyed it. It was tough. One night here, one night there, one night, you know, it was just six weeks of that.
I was ready for a vacation after that. Yeah, that is a lot of work, all that traveling. Yes. Mm-hmm.
And staying in a hotel, so, you know, get room service and stuff. Yeah. It was a fun engagement. Uh-huh.
The boys were great. They were terrific. So did you hang with the rat pack? Yes, I did.
And who were your favorite rat packers? Oh, Sinatra. And did you, were you his mistress, or did you date him? Who?
Did you date Frank? No, he was a good friend. He was a very good friend. Yeah.
And what about Dino? Who? Dean Martin. Dean Martin?
No. I knew Dean, and Jerry Lewis gave him my sergeant. He escorted me on the small stage of Santa Monica Boulevard, the Mickey Awards. And they were escorting me on stage.
And I got my name in the paper the next day within. And my career started really going up, up, up. The Mickey Awards? Yeah.
What were they? Well, the news media at this time got together and they thought up the Mickey Awards. They thought the Academy Awards were getting a little stuffy. So they thought up the Mickey Awards.
Bill Harris got an award for getting the most phone calls at the Brown Dirty. And I got a Mickey Award for having the biggest props in Hollywood. Okay. And we're back to that, which we talked about in the beginning, the biggest props in Hollywood.
Right? Yeah. Those beautiful boobs insured by Lloyds of London and everything. Mmm.
Your prize possessions. Prize possessions. Yeah. So natural and lovely.
Mmm-hmm. And you have these amazing bras. Did you have them made for you? Yes, I did.
Uh-huh. Now, Betty Page made her own bras, but you were more of the lady. You had somebody else making them. Well, I had a lady years ago that used to make my bras for stage.
As far as my bras in the department store, I had a little trouble with that. But I guess the right sales lady, they wouldn't know how to fit me. Right. Because your measurements were so amazing back then.
Now, those were the Mad Men days. Right? Do you like that show Mad Men? What?
Mad Men. Mad Men? You ever see that show about the 50s on HBO? Yes.
Yeah. Do you feel like that's an accurate portrayal of... Yeah. Yeah?
Yes. What's your favorite decade that you've been through? The 50s, the 60s, the 70s, the 80s, the 90s, or the... Well, I mean...
OOs? I mean, the 50s, 60s, 70s. How would you characterize the 50s? How was that?
Was that the glamorous time or what was that time for you? Well, that's when I first started in 1951. Mm-hmm. I was getting a lot of publicity with Dean Martin during this
and those were the good times. First upon the scene. My career started when I was trying to do the right thing. I was concentrating on myself, getting to become a star.
When I first went into the business, I said, I could become a star like I planned on. I'll stay in the business, otherwise I would not. Right.
And then the 60s, what were the 60s like for you? The 60s? I'll travel. I traveled a lot with the Burlesque Circuit back east.
I mean, there was a lot of upheaval going on in the country, the sexual revolution, the feminist movement. But I never had any trouble with them. Never had any trouble.
Who did you have trouble with? I didn't have trouble with anybody. No? They all loved me.
Were you ever in a place that got raided? They all loved me. Did you ever get raided by the police? No.
Never got raided? Wow. One time taking my flesh color bra. In Orlando, California.
See, you got a Miley Cyrus yourself. They took your fresh flesh color bra. That was too much for them. That was my Miley Cyrus.
Everybody's got one. No, not everybody does, but, you know, there's certain women that are just going to do what they're going to do, and they're going to express their sexuality.
And you're one, you're a trailblazer, showing us that we can express our sexuality and be classy and be respected. I'd like to meet Miley Cyrus.
Well, I think you should. I think you, because I think she's, you know, you were, I mean, you were classy and everything, but still in the 50s, it's just outrageous to get out there
on a stage and just take it all off, or even almost all off. All off. All off.
I thought you kept your G-string on. Oh. You know, you're very naughty. You're very, you're very glamorous,
and you're like, you know, Miss Lady here, but then you're, you've got a naughty streak, you know, and it's, it's what's so magical and wonderful about you,
because if you were all goody two-shoes, then that's not so interesting. Right. You're...
That's an interesting line. I mean, crazy things. What's the craziest thing you did? Like dating the president.
Dating the president. Let's get back to that, because I brought that up in the beginning, and you didn't say very much about that.
I kind of let you go because it was, we were just starting, but how did, did somebody introduce you? In those days,
the President Kennedy would never get away today what he was doing in those days. Right. About paparazzi and everything, you know.
But those days, it was kept very quiet. Right. I'd never hit the papers until I did a TV show in Detroit in the 60s, and all of a sudden,
the interview was going along great. You know, like a television show, like a Johnny Carson, but it was a big time around then.
And the interview was going along great. And all of a sudden, he says, I understand you slept with the President Kennedy. And that got my attention.
I stood set up. I said, I beg your pardon, would you repeat that again? And I'm stalling for an answer.
So he said, did you sleep with President Kennedy? And I said, I don't know why you ask me that. Busted. He said, well, what did you talk about?
Because I was stalling for answers. He said, well, what did you talk about in the bedroom? And I said, it certainly wasn't politics. Good answer.
I put my foot in it. And the time I got back to the theater, every newspaper reporter was at the theater. I was all over television the next day.
So that's how I got into newspapers. Of course. That's really, I'm sure, captured everyone's imagination. We already kind of knew about Maryland and JFK.
And then to hear about Tempest Storm and JFK, whoa, that just broke a lot of people's bank. You know, it just, wow, that was amazing. Right.
So, I mean, how many times did you see him, approximately? I saw him off and on for about a year. Because I played Washington quite a bit. Uh-huh.
And, I mean, was it secret the way they bring you in? Did you go to the White House to be with him? No. I say the Mayflower, which is...
The Mayflower. Yep. Yeah. And we had there a lot.
Right. But all you said was very quiet. You didn't, you know, you could go places and they did a story on it. Like, you'd go down by the lake.
And so they wrote a story about the JFK and Tempest Storm and some story that they wrote. Mm-hmm. Mm.
And, yeah, this was before the Mayflower Madame. And, of course, this had nothing to do with madams. This was just a relationship. I mean, you were kind of like a mistress, I guess.
Mistress? No. Girlfriend? Girlfriend.
Yeah. Wow. And how about Bobby? Were you also involved with Bobby?
Or that was just Marilyn that did both JFK and Bobby? Bobby Kennedy. Yeah. Bobby Kennedy.
I never met Bobby Kennedy. Oh, you didn't? Okay. No.
All right. Well, you have certainly associated with some of the hottest people of the 50s and the 60s, Elvis Presley, JFK, Mickey Cohen and Betty Page and Marilyn Monroe. And you've outlived them all.
And your star is still shining brighter than ever. And when this film comes out, it's just going to explode. The star hasn't gone out yet. No.
And you've gone over this hump, I think. And, you know, that a lot of people might have given up on. And you've gotten over it. And now you're going to just burst with all your glory with this big, wonderful film
that's going to come out. And, yeah, and they can, people can go to Kickstart, right? Right. Kickstart.
And you can get to that address through our site at DrSusanBlock.com. Or you can just go to Tempest's Twitter at RealTempest. And at RealTempest, you can then click through to her film. And there's a site for it.
Yes, you've got a site, TempestStormFilm.com. Excellent. So that's where you have to go. You don't have to mess around with Twitter, although you should follow Tempest on Twitter.
But, yeah, go to TempestStormFilm.com. And I think there's only a few days left to give in order to get this movie made. This is why we did this show at the last minute, you know, kind of throwing it together. And don't we look great for having thrown it together, especially you, Tempest.
But we want everybody to reach into their pockets and pull out their big, fat wallets and open them up and give some money to the TempestStormFilm. So we can see it. And I might be in it.
I might say hi to you. I might, when they come to Hollywood, when you come to Hollywood, I think I'm going to meet you. Which will be awesome. So did I leave anybody out that you...
We have a lot of work to do on it. Yeah, you do. Well, that's why you need the money. Exactly.
All right. Right. So did I leave anybody out that you want to mention before we say good night, Tempest? No.
Elvis, JFK, Nikki Cohen, Betty Page, Marilyn. Yeah. Let me see who I can dig up. Well, I've covered a lot, but there's a lot more to cover.
And that's why we can't wait to see this film that you're going to... They all die on me. Yeah. And you know, that brings a lot of people down.
It does. I just had an uncle that lived to over a hundred. So he lived a long time. But the thing that upset him the most was all his old friends dying on him.
But you keep making new friends. I think one of your secrets is not to live in the past, maybe. Right. Exactly.
And I don't live in the past. Even though you've got such an incredible past that is so tempting to kind of just sit there with your clippings all the time, that's maybe that makes you grow old. And maybe the key is that you keep working with these young women and you've got yourself
a boyfriend and you're getting out there and you're living life. I cannot identify with the age that I am because I've got the energy of a 30-year-old and I walk and do my exercise. I watch my diet.
Yeah. I feel you. I can't act my age either, right? Yeah, I can.
Except I get criticized for that unlike you. You're golden. Somehow you are blessed by God and the goddesses. But, you know, most people, so many people get slut-shamed, right?
Men and women for expressing their sexuality. It takes a rare, rare human being to be able to glide through life so sexy and flaunt in it and never get a bad review. But that is Tempest Storm and she's certainly getting a good review from us.
So thank you so much, Tempest. Thank you so much. And thank you for having me. Yeah.
Oh. All right. Well, we hope to see you again. We're going to have you back on when the film is going to come out, right?
Right. All right. So that's... Thank you, darling.
It's so good to meet you this way. I want to hug you, though, and we're going to do that when your film takes you to Hollywood. Okay. We'll be there.
Okay. Thank you. And thank you, Katelyn Reger. And she's the producer of the film.
And Namisha Mukherjee. I'm probably pronouncing these words, these names are wrong, but I'm trying, okay? Great. Great.
And she's the director, Namisha. And Jamie Valentino, who is the publicist. And Dave Williams, who's just been our guy Friday over there on Saturday night. Thank you.
Okay. Thank you all. Good luck. Okay.
We're all going to talk about you now, but we're going to say good night so you can, you know, get with your boyfriend. Katelyn, you're really fantastic. Mwah.
Mwah. Love you. Where's this? So much love.
So much love for you and for what you've done for human sexuality and for women and for entertainment. Just beautiful. Thank you.
Thank you. I'm going to keep it up. And I'm so thrilled that these young girls, and you know, that I'm an inspiration. Yeah.
Yeah. Keep it up. All right. Let's hear it for Tempest Storm.
We have your stuff, girls. The internet has no boundaries. The radio show has no boundaries. Yeah.
The internet has a lot of boundaries, actually. But, uh, but whoa. Okay. So before we go, I really would like to talk about the other subject.
Well, we are. Okay. Let's do it. Let's do it.
Let's do it. Because, you know, Tempest is what has been a fantastic erotic entertainment sensation. And of course, the new young erotic entertainment sensation is Miley
Cyrus. And, and she's come out, you know, not everybody likes the performance she did. Tempest obviously didn't love it.
But she's actually the new victim of conservatism. Slut shaming. Slut shaming. And I want to tell a little story about that because it's one of the
things that changed my life back in Montclair in 1950s in junior high school. There was a young girl who was just a wonderful, luscious slut. And she was called before the principal.
And then in the general audience of the school, the principal advised all the boys that anyone who walked her home would be suspended. And I thought that was very funny and very strange. And I thought that it was not right because she was beautiful.
She was also possibly available to teach a young man how to deal with a young lady. She taught you. Yeah.
And I went home to my dad who was a womanizer and an arms dealer. And I said, dad, this is what happened. And he said, you know, Mickey, that was my nickname, because in 1950s people couldn't say Maximilian or Max, except for Jewish guys.
And he said, you know what? Tomorrow you go back to school and you walk her home. And I did that. And I got suspended.
But I never forgot that, especially because I was brought up by wonderful women, pretty revolutionary women. And that one, that incident really changed me, basically. Well, that is a beautiful story, Max, of your, you know.
And the slut-shaming, forget slut-shaming. There's manhole, I mean, shaming. Anyone that's in the sex business is treated as a third-world citizen. Well, except Tempest.
Except Tempest. But I'm sure that in her time, there were people who were saying, why is this woman doing this? Well, there were.
But the point is, I guess she didn't let it get her down. And, you know, I don't think Miss Cyrus lets it get her down. She, a lot of people are trying to slut-shame her. I wouldn't even say they're succeeding.
I mean, you've got Shanae at O'Connor and her letter about how Miley's a whore. And you've got Cher, who, of course, is famous for wearing outfits that show off more skin than Miley was showing. And she criticized her.
I don't know, I think they don't come across as very effective. They come across as jealous, actually. They come across as our neighbor, who was here just a few days ago, as religious crackpots, in essence.
Yeah. But, you know, there's a lot of people who aren't crackpots, but I would like those people to just put this in perspective. And I think Tempest understood this once we brought this up.
Let me just say this. Okay, hang on. Chubby Checkers did the twist. Elvis swibbled his hips.
Mick Jagger stuck out his tongue. Michael Jackson grabbed his crotch with a big white glove. Madonna wore lingerie. And Janet Jackson showed her nipple on the Super Bowl.
So each thing kind of created an outrage. And each thing kind of created a fan base. It's like, you know, the people want the erotic entertainment sensation. And when you give it to them, though, you're at risk of being shamed.
And people will try to shame you for it. Whether you're a stripper or a pop star. And you just got to be strong. You just got to not let it get to you.
And that goes for you, Max. And you haven't let it get to you. I've never let it get to me. You can't shame me.
No, but you know what? I'm not worried about Miley Cyrus. Because she is miles ahead of most of us. And she's having the time of her life mocking a lot of her detractors.
And raking in the cash and riveting the eyeballs on herself. And also she's very busy. She can't even write a letter. She's busy. She's doing Saturday Night Live. And you know what? If that girl crashes and burns,
she will go out in a blaze of glory with a song that describes it to a T, that wrecking ball song. So she's got it all down. I'm more worried about young people, girls and guys who are learning
that a girl that dances freely and playfully and mockingly will be condemned and excoriated and slut-shamed for her sexuality. I'm more worried about that. I'm more worried about the people.
I'm with you. Miley's doing fine. That's really not something that... But when they send this message, Shanaean and Cher,
and all these people send this message, oh, that's so wrong. Oh, you know. Yeah, that's sending children a wrong message.
A very wrong message. Your body is your body. Your body is your body. And you can do with it as you will.
And that should be the whole thing. It is yours. It is yours. It's your body. You get to do with it what you want.
You may crash with it. You may succeed with it. You may do any of those things. But it is your body.
And you do what you want with it. And if it makes you a lots and lots and lots of money, by all means. Because you know what?
In the end, we're all hookers. On some level. It's the oldest profession. We're all selling something.
We're all selling something. And part of what we're selling is always ourselves. That doesn't necessarily mean you're selling rights to have sexual intercourse with you.
But you're selling yourself. Or selling the right to rape. Or selling the right to be shamed. Right.
Selling slut-shaming is what some of these stars whose careers are slightly on the downside. And they're exploiting Miley's youth and popularity in order to get their own albums out there.
The worst one was that woman on television. I wish I could remember her name. Who came on disgusted that her children might see this. Right.
And meanwhile, she is showing the clip. In its entirety. Why do you show the clip, lady? If it's so dangerous for women to look at.
For kids to look at. This is on Fox. Right. Right.
So the exploitation and the, at the same time the slut-shaming is just, it's pathetic. Okay.
It's not effective. No. It's pathetic. The only people it'll affect are the viewers.
It just makes everybody feel ashamed of their sexuality. Anyway. That's it. We have the backlash.
And fortunately Miley is standing up for herself. And we are going to wind it up. Can we have Miley on the phone? I'd love to.
Let's get her on. Miley would love to get you on. She's beautiful. She's so, you know, she's busy.
She's doing Saturday Night Live. I know. She's busy. I know.
You like those cute skinny girls. Yeah. She's tiny. She's skinny.
Yeah. So this has been an amazing show. Amazing show. Another wonderful.
Amazing trailblazing show. That's right. Another wonderful historical show. We did the first live on going interview with Betty Page.
And the longest interview she'd ever done in 1996. We've also, of course. Well, she kept right up with it. Oh yeah.
Yeah. Oh yeah. She kept right up with it. All right.
So thank you so much. Tempest Storm. Here she is, brothers and sister. Tempest Storm.
And a beautiful picture of herself looking angelic. And we want everybody to contribute to the film. It's at tempeststormfilm.com. And we want to thank Caitlin and Namisha and Jamie and Dave
for helping out making this possible. And I want to thank everybody on the Bonoboville staff. Yes. Abe the engineer.
Woohoo. And Mar and Trixie and Lily and Bennett and John and Ida and Max. Thank you, my darling. Oh yeah.
And thank me. And from our house to your house, thank you for having us. And hey, we'll see you next week. I'm not done.
Oh, you're not done. What are you trying to end the show? I'm trying to end the show, but I guess I'm fucked up. No, you are.
It's I again, the show. I've been drinking the wine cocktails. Right. See, Tempest says, you know, no drinking, no smoking.
No drinking, no smoking. And that's how you keep that 40 double D, 25, 35. Well, wait a minute. I'm 70 years old and I can't believe it.
You're not doing as good as she is. She's, you know, she was born in 1928 though. She's only 21. I'm catching up.
Right. I'm catching up. Okay. So thank you, Tempest.
Thank you, Bonoboville. Thank you. Also, Jux and Larotique. We're taking pictures tonight.
Jux, Lee and Larotique. And thank you, Miley, you know, for being your shameless, sexy self. Stay strong. Take good care of your body like Tempest does.
Take care of that body. You know, not too many drugs, Miley. She does a lot of dancing. She does a few drugs.
But, you know, take care of your mind. Her mind is amazing. I mean, I was an idiot when I was her age. And your wonderful playful erotic spirit.
Take care of that playful spirit that, you know, that, that, that we created through this Hanna Montana, you know, she's, she's our child. Right.
Thank you. And Miley, with a little bit of luck someday you'll be an 85 year old sex icon like Tempest Storm. Yep.
Right. So, here she is. I wish I had a picture of Miley, but I don't. But we can, it's in post.
Okay. So, meanwhile, thank you, my darling listener or viewer, whatever you are, wherever you are in your mansion on a hill or a cardboard box, wherever you are, I want you to be good.
I want you to express your sexual self. Be classy, you know, do what you want to do. Don't, don't sell yourself short. But we're always selling ourselves, ourselves in some way.
So make sure you get, you get a good price and don't sell yourself short. Be classy, be good, but be free, be shameless, you know, practice the bonobo way of peace through pleasure and make
love to someone you love tonight, even if that someone is you or like that big hand Miley was using. I love you. From Los Angeles, California.
