Harlip was a photographic studio specializing in celebrity portraits and based in London. Until 1937, the Harlip studio had its headquarters on the Kurfürstendamm in Berlin. Afterwards, the Harlips left Berlin due to the growing crackdown on Jewish businesses and moved to London. After Dr. Harlip’s death in 1945, Mrs. Harlip continued the business there as one of the great socialite photographers of the 1950s. | src La Gazette Drouot

Tinker Bell was a professional dancer trained in ballet, tap and adagio dancing. Her first job in burlesque was as a chorus girl at the famous New York city club, Leon & Eddie’s. Tinker Bell stripping career really took off (pun intended) in Washington DC while she was performing at the Wayne Room in 1956. She quickly became a crowd favorite and shortly thereafter, she was touring the country. Tinker Bell is shown here modeling her costume for her Cleopatra act.
