Showgirl's Closet: Super Lucy! My I Love Lucy Tribute

Step into the Showgirl’s Closet as Red Snapper unboxes Super Lucy, a hilariously slapdash tribute to one of her favorite I Love Lucy episodes! Originally created for Yadi Presents’ Lucy-themed burlesque show, this act transforms Lucy’s homemade Superman costume into a rhinestone-studded striptease full of physical comedy, impeccable timing, and—of course—magnetic bird pasties.

In this episode, Red Snapper revisits the costume’s construction, from fleece-lined leggings to a tablecloth cape, and explains how she and Mr. Snapper worked together to bring this ridiculous, campy vision to life. With anecdotes about performing at the Yost Theater, working with the Atomic Cherry Bombs, and the joys of not having to do her hair, this is a must-watch for burlesque and I Love Lucy fans alike.
