Vaudeville's Risque Barrison Sisters


From Wikipedia:
Lona, Sophia, Inger, Olga and Gertrude Barrison were actual sisters (many "sister" acts in Vaudeville were not) of Danish-German descent....The five blond and curlyhaired siblings were said to sing in high squeaky voices, and dance with middling ability. They achieved notoriety, however, by ingenious use of double entendres on stage.

In their most famous act, the sisters would dance, raising their skirts slightly above their knees, and ask the audience "Would you like to see my pussy?" When they had coaxed the audience into an enthusiastic response, they would raise up their skirts, revealing that each sister was wearing underwear of their own manufacture which had a live kitten secured over the crotch.
