burlesque artists before and after 21

How different can an artist be on stage? Or even bettter, how different is the person without all that burlesque glamour?

This difference is shown in Van Sarki’s images. The American photographer grew into fame after his Kickstarter campaign a few years ago. He would ask people to help funding his Burlesque Compere project. A series or revealing portraits show the difference of the New York Burlesque scene stars, before and after their turning into their on stage persona.
