Our very own Shaboobie Boobarella was interviewed by Stephen Quinn on CBC radio's "On the Coast" program. Also in the interview is Shaboobie's grandmother, Misty Morningstar, who was a burlesque performer back the heyday of Vancouver in the 1950s.

Shaboobie tells us how her family inspired her to become a burlesque performer and how her grandmother taught her to shimmy when she was a little girl. Misty Morningstar talks about the Vancouver nightclub she performed at as a chorus girl in the 1950s and how she met her husband and gave up burlesque to raise a family -- though she still religiously wears fake eyelashes to this day.
