MAE WEST

Controversial in her day, this trailblazer proved that you could be powerful and sexy (and funny, and talented) all at the same time. No wilting flower, this actress, songstress, playwriter, and screenwriter, battled censors throughout her career, but overcame them to become one of the entertainment world's true icons. As well-known for her sexual double entendres as for her films, Ms. West started out on Broadway but shot to fame upon her arrival in Hollywood in the 1930s. The world hadn't seen a woman quite like her before (and has arguably not seen one since).

With dazzling feather boas and stunning evening gowns, with accompanying hats and gloves, Bonnnie's impression of Mae West dazzles audiences every time. Bonnie has memorized a treasure trove of Ms. West's best quips and double entendres. Just take a look at the beautiful photographs to your right!
