7. Egyptomania
from Lithium Jubilee
There's nothing we here at Lithium Jubilee love more than a good mania and, thankfully, the Victorians were all about obsession! This week Jon and Erin dig up and brush off some of Egyptomania's oddest artifacts. Jon draws our attention to obelisks without once saying the word "phallic" and Erin finally gets to talk about "mummy brown" and other fun ways to use the spoils of a desecrated tomb!

Athena
Join Athena Patacsil, former principal dancer in Donn Arden’s Jubilee!, as she preserves the history of the Showgirl and the Showgirl production shows through interviews and oral histories. The closing of the last Showgirl spectacular of its kind, Jubilee! in 2016 and a global Bluebell dancer reunion in 2019 were the impetus to create a show where former dancers, Showgirls, crew members and historians share what life was really like during their time as cast and crew of those stage spectacles. Topics ranging from what it's like to be a Showgirl, performer life, getting paid to do what you love, confidence, discipline, resilience, femininity, sensuality, Showgirl history, life after dance, and preserving the history of the Showgirl and the shows she performed in will leave you in awe of the lives and purpose of all the people that were part of this unique genre of entertainment history.
