Other than that, some really nice bodies and faces in that collection.

I know what you mean and I think it is attributable to two things:
1. Stripping was much more an act of theater during the burlesque days and their faces are 'emoting.' Some are better actors than others, lol.
2. The 1950's was the heydey of the 'Glamazon.' Many men liked strong, aggressive looking women. Grawr!

I wonder how they were perceived at the time, though?... were they outcasts of some kind, because of their burlesque dancing? |
I think that largely they lived outside of 'normal' circles, but a few of them became quite famous. Lili St. Cyr, for instance, had her own line of lingerie and was in a few B-movies. Tempest Storm was another one who achieved a fair amount of fame.
Then there are others who achieved different types of notereity for their nude modeling and such. Then there's Tana Louise (and others), who was also a very popular fetish model...
