Underwater Stripper

We've featured underwater weddings here at WU before, but who could imagine that there was once an underwater strip show?

The caption for this first shot from the Life foto archives reads: "Stripper Divena performing her act inside a plexiglas tank filled with water at Casino Royale Club,New Orleans, LA, US."

However, all did not end well for Divena, as we see from the second foto, captioned thus: "Stripper Evangeline Sylvas angrily breaks a water tank being used by a fellow stripper—a disruption that was not a planned part of the act."
