It’s cold outside, the weather is gray, the holidays are approaching … brrr, we need a little warmth, don’t we? And what better way than to dive into the world of these five striptease queens, who have become famous in the spotlight? They’ve dropped their feathers to don the clothes of stars!
When we think of striptease, we often imagine a dark, gloomy place, with chicks dancing around a bar, an atmosphere that titillates the senses. But for aesthetes, we’ll keep Dita Von Teese on the sidelines – she’s still in business. Instead, here are five former strippers who have risen to the top of the scene with brio, almost in the blink of an eye.
Carmen Electra – From the bar to Baywatch
Carmen is that exotic beauty, known for her azure blue eyes and dreamy figure. She’s posed for Playboy and also plunged into the world of television with “Baywatch”. And no, she hasn’t just danced around a pole, she’s sung alongside Prince and followed in her own footsteps in the entertainment industry. In short, a true jack-of-all-trades!
Carmen Electra, real name Tara Leigh Patrick, began her professional career as a singer under Prince in Minneapolis, before posing for Playboy in 1996. She quickly gained worldwide fame and then moved to Los Angeles to join the cast of “Baywatch”. Although she has put her acting career on hold, she remains active, posting regularly on social networks to keep in touch with her fans.
Cardi B – From stripper to rap queen
Voted “Woman of the Year 2020” by Billboard, Cardi B conquered the music world after slipping on her glittery heels. But before her chart-topping tracks, she was shimmying at the local strip club for a living. Yes, the rap superstar started there, before conquering the world. That’s the real rise to fame!
Cardi B, whose real name is Belcalis Almánzar, grew up in New York’s Bronx neighborhood, with Dominican and Trinidadian-Spanish roots. After high school, she decided to join a strip club to support herself, working there from the age of 19 to 23 before devoting herself entirely to her career as a rapper. Before she became a rap icon, she already had a strong presence on social networks, notably Vine and Instagram. Her debut studio album “Invasion of Privacy”, released in 2018, was a huge success, earning her numerous awards.
She is also mom to a little Kulture, born of her union with rapper Offset, as well as a little Wave.
Blac Chyna – From strip to reality TV
Blac Chyna started her career on the strip, and she’s not hiding it. She danced to pay her bills before turning the heads of Tyga (also KylieJenner‘ s ex) and Drake. She was even advised by her mother, also a former stripper, to go all in. But now she’s partying on reality TV, and her dancing past is a distant memory.
Angela “Blac Chyna” White decided early on that she didn’t want to be financially dependent on anyone else. When her parents couldn’t pay for her education, she juggled school during the day and pole-dancing at night to support herself. It was a courageous move that led to her being noticed by Tyga and Drake, while performing at the King of Diamonds in Miami.
She spoke openly about her past as a stripper and even shared that her mother, Tokyo Toni, was also a former dancer. The reality TV world then welcomed this unusual personality, mother of two, the fruit of her past relationships with Tyga and Rob Kardashian (son of Kris Jenner and the famous Kardashian / Jenner sisters ).
Coco Austin – From striptease to reality TV
Coco Austin, the model, the actress, the dancer… And Ice-T’s wife! This striptease queen started out young, but she didn’t just shake her feathers on stage. After posing for Playboy and doing a few rounds in the porn world, she shone on TV with her own show, where she shares her life with Ice-T. And guess what? She’s mom to little Chanel
Nicole Natalie Austin, aka Coco Austin, got her start on the modeling scene at age 14, winning a contest. At 18, she got her start in lingerie and swimwear photography, working for Playboy alongside Hugh Hefner, then launched her acting career in porn and striptease. In 2009, she launched her own brand of clothing for curvaceous women. She had her own reality series, “Ice Loves Coco”, followed by “Ice & Coco”. She created a blog during her pregnancy to share her experience as a mom.
Amber Rose – Pole dancing at Fashion Week
Known for her shaved head and sexy outfits, Amber Rose has carved out her own path off the beaten track… and out of clothes! The rebellious stripper, ex-boyfriend of Kanye West (himself ex-boyfriend of Kim Kardashian), also dated women before hitting the limelight. And guess what? She’s mom to little Slash Electric. Not bad for someone who started stripping for a living!
Amber Rose began working as a stripper at the age of 15, but put the business on hold, only returning to it at 18, when she fell in love with the craft. Prior to Kanye West, she had relationships with women for six years, before dating the rapper. She has also been the face of Louis Vuitton. In 2016, she claimed to have participated in an orgy, an experience she didn’t really enjoy. She has been in relationships with the likes of 21 Savage and French Montana, and welcomed a second child, Slash Electric, in 2019 with new partner Alexander Edwards.
A final word
These five women got their start in an often stigmatized milieu, only to shine in the spotlight. These queens of striptease have done much more than dance around a pole; they’ve conquered diverse terrain, leaving an indelible mark on the entertainment industry. And in any case, they know how to turn up the heat at Christmas (and the rest of the year, let’s be honest) and give you a hard-on!
