Leonard Nimoy, best known of course for playing Spock on Star Trek, is preparing to do a book of photographs of BBW burlesque dancers. Reva Lucian’s Original Fat-Bottom Revue is billed as “A burlesque show with enough for everyone” on the Big Burlesque web site which features Leonard Nimoy in a group shot with the troupe. No, not in drag. Get your mind out of the gutter. The troupe also does body image workshops and teaches big gals to feel like Big Beautiful Women. BBWs who can tassel twirl at that. The man who was Spock is going to be shooting nudes of the members of The Fat Bottom Revue performance troupe.
Leonard Nimoy actually studied photography at UCLA in the 70’s and is currently represented by Bonni Benrubi Gallery in New York and Louis Stern Fine Art in Los Angeles. His previous photographic ventures include two illustrated books of poetry and 2002’s controversial Shekhina coffee table book. According to the Kabbalah, Shekhina is the deity’s female counterpart and when the creator got out of touch with his feminine side, evil came into the world. Yes, there are people in Los Angeles who nake a serious study of the Kabbalah. We are a little spiritually starved, in case you were wondering.
