Tana Louise was a burlesque[1] striptease artist, nicknamed the "Cincinnati Sinner",[2] in the 1950s.
[citation needed] In 1950, she was accused of hitting fellow stripper, Emerald Forrest, over the head with a club.
[citation needed] Soon after, she left the magazine and disappeared from the public eye.
She was one of the most famous fetish models of her day,[citation needed] but, as time went on, she was overshadowed by her peer, Bettie Page.
[4][5] In the 1960s, Tana Louise and burlesque striptease artist Mara Gaye started an exotic bizarre costumes mail order catalog company called "Tana and Mara".
