This top is named after Lillian Lietzel who was forced into circus life at only 11 years old. She came to America, and was quickly noticed by the Ringling Bros. Circus, who turned her into one of the biggest stars of her time. She was only 4'9" but she was promoted as the"Queen of the Air." Her act involved spinning on a single arm hundreds of times, pulling her shoulder out of its socket over and over again.The crowd loved it, but it was brutal on her body.
She was forced to perform almost every night, with little care for how dangerous it was. Like many women in show business at the time, she was both celebrated and taken advantage of: her glamour was sold to the public, while her body paid the price.
In 1931, while performing in Copenhagen, the equipment holding her broke. She fell from the air and died two days later from her injuries.She was only 39.
Leitzel's story shows how circus showgirls were often glamorized but exploited.
They were marketed as daring and dazzling, but they faced constant risk, pain, and little real protection. She is one of the few circus women with stories about her online.
Made from deadstock fabric. Only available while supplies last!
This shirt is made in a halter neck style with lining and elastic at the top portion to offer support and optimal cleavage :) It is adorned with little balls at the bottom to emphasize the jester style it was inspired after.
