Star-Ledger newspaper in 2007. "It was the way you took them off.""We've always been sort of old-fashioned, fuddy-duddy," she said of the Miss Exotic World competition for burlesque dancers she began in 1991. She was disappointed when the competitors emphasized full-on nudity.Evans, born Mary Lee Evans,[url=http://www.trueireligion.com]True Religion Outlet Store[/url], is survived by her sister, Betty.
