*Please* note: burlesque is a striptease art, in which the performer normally strips down to a pair of pasties and a g-string. If you are looking for something more PG, please let me know in advance.

Katherine Harlow, the Park Avenue Pinup, ™ is a burlesque showgirl, published-pinup, costumier, and historian based in New York City. She is the muse of artist, Nina Bogyeong Son.

Katherine is a classic striptease artist, evoking the nostalgia of a bygone era, one that existed only in film and in fantasy. Floating across the stage in “pastel showgirl confectionery," ™ she exudes elegance and poise with girlish charm.

Inspired by "sugar, spice, and everything nice," her costumes are sugar-sweet confections: hand-sewn in silk and satin, resplendent with ribbons, trimmed in ostrich and marabou feathers, and detailed with glass-cut crystals and pearls.

Dreaming of ballerinas, bombshells, coquettes, courtesans, strippers, and silver-screen starlets, she pays tribute to performers such as her namesake, Jean Harlow, as well as Marilyn Monroe, Mae West, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Gypsy Rose Lee, Lili St. Cyr, Sally Rand, Josephine Baker, and Bettie Page.

She performs across the country, captivating audiences with a wink, as she swans across the stage under blue lights, as “the Pastel Showgirl," ™ and “the sparkliest showgirl in New York City." ™
