...and before Louis Brookes, were - The Dolly Sisters



"...they were the first show business personalities to be accepted as equals by international society" (http://www.classicimages.com/past_issues/view/?x=2000/january00/dollysisters.shtml).

Just recently heard about this 1920s dancing-duo from Hungary, Rosie and Jenny Deutsch - Amazing identical-twin sister act, indeed.

One of the first vaudeville/burlesque groups popularized, they were an exciting sign of the times ahead, not only because of their unique act but the fact that they weren't your typical voluptuous-blonde-next-girl-kinda gals - they were short, petite, with onyx black hair.

They even sported a boyish type of hairstyle that was never before seen, but would be ten years later during the flapper era - "The Bob," donning themselves also in long, slinky robes, covered with exaggerated jewelery.

You could say these charmers dished out a new kind of exotic-erotica to mouth-watering masses!
