Mr. Payes' (Dixie Flatline's) Photos

I just received the first of Robert Payes' "Naughty Can-Can Girls" photosets.  It was pure magic!  It's quite spicy, though, but if you want a touch of the old-fashioned can-can with a brushing of burlesque, buy it.  Post here and I'll give you more details.  Wah-Hoo!

Hola, Everybody!

I am Antonio, and I have been a "fan of the can" for most of my life.  I was thrilled to find this site, every sort of permutation of the classic Can-Can I have found here.  Hopefully you can show a new member around and help me get to know what this group and it's members are all about.  I appreciate it, and Thank You for welcoming me in.

Can-can on film

Does anybody know who the can-can ladies are in the film "A New Kind Of Love" (scene with M Chevalier )? or of any links or photos?

Hope you like the new images. The one of Windmill Girl Renee Baxter (in The Windmill) is a bit rough but the other two are not too bad - in Girlie Mags.

HOWDY! :)

Hello, my name is Lea.  A friend of mine and I have a new cancan group.  Though we have been doing the Cancan for 15 years now.  We specialize in Old West Cancan.  ;)  I hope to meet you all and get great ideas from the pics and such here.  :)

 

Take care~

I have today added 5 images of a girl called Jan, scanned from a fifties UK girlie mag. I have done my best to enhance the quality but there's only so much possible with scans.

Regards to all,
