< Previous>on the wire Find us on Instagram @autobabesMagazine It’s interesting how sometimes words and meanings tend to change and morph dependent, probably quite appropriately, to the context of society and the beliefs of the community at the time. Take the term of our Edition 65 theme for example, Sexy Showgirls! Traditionally the definition of a Showgirl is basically an Actress, a female Singer, or a female Dancer. In fact it could be a female Entertainer who does all those things in theatrical or television musicals, variety shows or similar shows for entertainment. By that definition then, the female performers of the musical production “Cats”, for which Aussie singer and gorgeous beauty Delta Goodrem appeared in for a short time, could all appropriately and respectfully be called Showgirls! Of course if you lived in Las Vegas through the 1970’s, 80’s and 90’s, where there were many entertainment and variety shows in many clubs, and certainly many girls that performed in those clubs, a Showgirl may have had a more elaborate meaning and characteristic. In the context of a Las Vegas Showgirl, the female performer was very typically defined by her very elaborate attire and flamboyantly decorated costume, often with oversized costume characteristics including feathers, hats and head dress. The Las Vegas Showgirl had to stand tall, often between 5’10” and 6’0”ft tall, she had to have exceptionally long legs to give the characteristic statuesque appearance, and she had to embody and celebrate exquisite female beauty! That was mostly a very accentuated and glamorous beauty which often included extra long eye lashes, bright red lips and fishnets etc. If you then enter the world of the more exotic and particularly erotic and nude dancers in themed Men’s Night Clubs in any part of the world, you’ll find that a Showgirl is the pinnacle of the dancers and strippers that work hard to make a name for themselves and establish a brand that their career mostly depends on. Indeed, this type of Showgirl was immortalised and probably coined by the movie Showgirls starring Elizabeth Berkley that we later review in this edition. In a more modern world, which has an open holistic community of information savvy and creative demographic that more easily accepts diversity, all those definitions apply and all are valid depending on context. So then quite appropriately, why not create a new extension to the definition of a Showgirl that includes and embraces swimsuit and lingerie models! If one doesn’t exist now, then let’s create that and celebrate the same feminine gorgeousness, poise, sexuality and glamour that all the Showgirl definitions embody. In a quick search around our immediate Instagram neighbourhood, we see many models that quite easily fit the description of beauty and sexuality that befits the pinnacle of glamour modelling also. From the exceptionally curvaceous beauty of Lindsey Pelas (@lindseypelas) at the right of this page, through to the classic gorgeousness of our `Route 66 Edition’ covergirl Dana Hamm (@danahammofficial), our `West Coast Edition’ and Calendar feature model Champagne (@ champagnedancer), actress Kate Upton (@ kateupton) and all the girls featured overleaf, their beauty and presence make their entertainment value exceptionally high. Blessed be the Showgirl by any definition! < autobabes.com.auautobabes.com.auautobabes.com.auautobabes.com.au>Cover Girl autobabes.com.au ASHTON AVENUEautobabes.com.au >Model: Ashton Avenue, Pics: Anestis, MakeUp: Dana Case, Location: Sydney, Australia “ I never planned to do any professional modelling, but it compliments my work greatly & I find it enjoyable :)iautobabes.com.au “ t’s an absolutely gorgeous day in Sydney as our cover girl hops into the car to head for location of today’s shoot. It had been raining the day before you see, and did so again the day after, so this particular day in Sydney, with the Miami V8 purring down the Old Princes Highway, was quite stunning! Melbourne based Exotic Dancer and Showgirl Ashton Avenue is like that also; a bundle of sunshine that pushes the rain over to the side so that you can enjoy your day ! Originally from Perth, Ashton has settled in Melbourne in pursuit of work and to further her already successful career as a Lingerie waitress, Showgirl and Exotic Dancer. “ I’ve been dancing for a while so I’ve got a couple of titles under my little belt already!”, she says .. “But my favourites would have to be my first title , which was Exotic Angels ‘Miss Dreambody’!” “ I won that at the Exotic Angels national finals at a club called `Hollywoods’ on the Gold Coast”. “I also won the title of ‘Most Erotic Dancer in Western Australia’ which I won at the S.T.A.R ( Striptease Artist Recognition) Awards at The Voodoo Lounge in Perth”, she continues .. “And my big one, which I won twice, was Miss Erotic Australia, once representing WA and then Victoria when that was held at the home venue of Maxine’s in Melbourne !” “I’ve been dancing for a while now”, she says “It’s been interesting to say the least and I’ve met lots of different and interesting people from all walks of life.
