Well i'm only speculating although it's not true. But anyhow meet Chris Owens 'New Orleans burlesque queen and Mardi Gras' belle of the French Quarter.'
Dita Von Teese may have started thee whole voguing and posing in her giant champagne glass spectacle, but this is thee original queen of burlesque right here.
Wikipedia describes the burlesque performer, "She has been a French Quarter fixture and celebrity from the start of the 1960s through the early 21st century. Though perhaps not a name of worldwide recognition, Owens is extremely well known in Louisiana and throughout the U. S. South. Details about Owens' past and career are sketchy at best. She was born in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania in 1935, not 1918 as others have claimed. She arrived in New Orleans at the age of 19.
She has the club and also owns 30 apartments and 4 shops located within the building. As of 2007 the club and Owens' act continue to be a draw. She hosts a yearly "Patriotic Easter Parade" that rolls down Bourbon Street.
Some say she was born in the 30s and some say 1918. I say that it really doesn't matter since Miss Owens will be living until thee end of day. 'Those eyebrows are indestructible!' - Source Dlist
