Starring: Bettie Page, Tempest Storm, Chris La Chris, Trudy Wayne, Vickie Lane, Twinnie Wallens
Synopsis: Bettie Page teams with Tempest Storm in the Holy Grail of Girlie Flicks! America's legendary pin-up queen, cult icon Bettie Page, stars with superstar stripper Tempest Storm in the biggest burlesque film of them all, "Teaserama!" With her girl-next-door smile and hourglass figure, Bettie Page performs two stylized dance numbers that are amalgams of her classic poses. She also scorches the screen when she teams up with that "hurricane of delight," Tempest Storm, in a boudoir bit that explodes into fetish central. Produced and directed by glamour-girl photographer Irving Klaw, "Teaserama" also boasts leggy Chris La Chris, a sultry strip courtesy of Trudy Wayne, female impersonator Vickie Lane, contortionist Twinnie Wallens, and baggy pants comics Dave Starr and Joe E. Ross (Gunther Toody of TV's "Car 54 Where Are You?").

Directed By: Irving Klaw
Starring: Bettie Page, Chris La Chris, Lily St. Cyr, Bobby Shields, Cass Franklin, Monica Lane
Synopsis: Bettie Page and Lily St. Cyr in a Burly-Q classic! The legendary Queen of the Curves, Bettie Page, America's greatest pin-up model, stars in "Varietease," a unique peek at the wonderful world of burlesque, complete with singers, slickers, and saucy strippers! Flashing her sexy smile and gyrating in a harem girl costume, Bettie Page does her Dance of the Four Veils and easily steals the show. Another legend, the sophisticated and sparkling Lili St. Cyr, shows us just how elegant a strip tease can be. Aiding and abetting are jokester Bobby Shields, bikini-clad Chris La Chris, warblers Cass Franklin and Monica Lane, exuberant contortionist Twinnie Wallens, and "famed female impersonator" Vicky Lynn. Produced and directed by girly-pix impresario Irving Klaw (the man who photographed Bettie in bondage), he and Miss Page reteamed the following year with "Teaserama."

100 GIRLS BY BUNNY YEAGER
FEATURING BETTY PAGE AND PINUPS OF 50'S
Interactive Pictorial on Pin-Ups of the 50's by Playboy Photographer Bunny Yeager - Coming Soon!


GRINDHOUSE FOLLIES 25
The newest installment of Grindhouse Follies, a feature-length compilation, features (about three-quarters of the way in) four Page loops - two new to video - under the rubric Teaser Girl in High Heels. Bettie primps on a satin couch, dances in a familiar fringed bikini, dresses to go out in opera gloves, and shows off "optical illusion" undies. Title cards are backwards, but who's reading? The beginning bit with a dancer is actually accompanied by some burlesque comedians instead of music!
Feature-length, B/W, various dates, Code: SWGH25 Retail: $15.00 NEW Lower Price!

STRIPORAMA
For those who asked: STRIPORAMA is here...Bettie preps... This is the latest, long-promised Bettie Page video (they've started using her preferred first name spelling on this tape). Like Teaserama and Varietease it presents a complete Burlesque show. Also appearing are Marinette And Andre, Nola Lee, Doris Machenzie, Pat Lombard, Betty Tunell, Anne Slayton and Mr. America; comedians Jack Diamond, Mandy Kay and Charles Harris; strippers Lili St. Cyr, Georgia Sothern, Rosita Royce... and of course Bettie Page in a daring bubble bath scene.... There is no explicit nudity, just strategically placed foam!
Short feature, color, 1952, Code: SW1112 Retail: $15.00 NEW Lower Price!


BETTY PAGE 1
This little gift set, previously exclusive to Apple & Eve, is now going into wide release. Once again, the loops are grainy in spots, but not so beat-up looking as they probably should have been. The real find is the b/w booklet that accompanies it, with neat and very high quality stills throughout.
30 min., B/W, with enclosed bio booklet Code: GMI0 Retail: $19.95

Page cartoon AMERICA'S PINUP QUEEN
A small collection of loops -- including the famed "Clown Dance" with an elf doll -- which are in the best condition you can expect, considering their former "underground" status.
53 min., B/W, Code: VD001 Retail: $19.95

Betty 'n Bondage
Betty and the other Klaw Kittens, Donna Brown and Peggy Ryan for two, engage in mock battles and silly initiation rites. Tame in some senses -- because of its humor and "just us girls" attitude -- yet kinky in a timeless sense; with the fabulously expensive gear so loved by the jaded aficionado. Unrated and non-explicit but still for grownups only.
55 min., B/W, Code: VD002 Retail: $19.95


"Pocket Pinups" author Max Collins had this to say about "the Holy Grail of Girlie Flicks":


Teaserama
"Irving Klaws's long lost 1955 epidermal epic showcases legendary BETTY PAGE, the 50's pin-up queen whose self imposed exile from the public eye aroused a cult following! In the midst of media speculation a few years ago, Betty Page herself finally re-emerged, just at the moment - coincidentally - that Something Weird Video had uncovered her sole starring film! In a scanty red costume and heels Betty displays a delightful smile, her hourglass figure, and comic ease with the camera - overshadowing even top-billed superstar stripper TEMPEST STORM. After her own specialty dance, Betty scene-steals Storm's number as a black-clad catty maid; then (modeling progressively skimpy costumes) intros each act. If that wasn't enough (and it is), Betty's comedy co-star is another 50's legend: Joe E. Ross of 'Sgt. Bilko' and 'Car 54 Where Are You' fame."
This tape contains NO nudity, Color, Code: SW4116 Retail: $15.00 NEW Lower Price!

Collins also loved Betty's subversive charm in another fabulously well-preserved time capsule from 1954, which also sports a rare crossdressing fantasy courtesy of illusionist VICKI LYNN...


Varietease box cover Varietease
"The discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls is but a historical footnote, now that Something Weird Video has unearthed this truly significant artifact. Pin-up impresario Irving Klaw's 'lost' color burlesque flick features the ultimate '50s beauty, in the flesh: legendary BETTY PAGE! Betty performs a dance of seven (or eight or nine) veils, dazzling in a harem costume (glimpsed in several classic vintage 'girlie' magazines). The third-billed Miss Page easily steals the show - flashing her sexy smile, playing with her shoulder-length black hair, winking at the camera. Top-billed is another 50s legend LILI ST. CYR. The sparkling, feline Lili is seen preening backstage, and in a hypnotic, lengthy striptease on stage."
This tape contains NO nudity, Color, Code: SW4119 Retail: $15.00 NEW Lower Price!
