The Tattoo Factory Gallery presents, "Tura! Tura! Tura!"
a group art show happening celebrating the stunning, inspiring and kickasstastic legendary icon, Tura Satana!
Tura started exotic dancing at the age of 13. She became a burlesque sensation earning the title Miss Japan Beautiful. From there her talents lead her to guest appearances on many top television shows of the 60's including Hawaiian Eye, Man from U.N.C.L.E. and Burkes Law. Movie roles followed in Our Man Flint, Irma la Douce and The Astro Zombies, but her greatest cinematic superstar achievement was as the baddest ass Varla, the leader of 3 thrill seeking stripers in Russ Meyer's legendary masterpiece,"Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!".
The Tattoo Factory Gallery is located at 4443 N. Broadway in Tura's hometown of Chicago. Opening night is Thursday, October 30th.
All ready the cream of the crop of the lowbrow art world have signed on to contribute jaw dropping Tura inspired masterpieces including paintbrush superstars, Shag, Lou Brooks, Lisa Petrucci, Glenn Barr, Niagara and many more (complete list (as of now) below)!.
Gallery owner Paul Collurafici (owner of the adjacent Tattoo Factory) is kindly donating the space and will not be taking a commission, so all profits earned hosting the event will go to Apna Ghar, a domestic violence shelter serving primarily Asian women and children and Susan G. Komen for the Cure, a breast cancer charity. Fundraisers will include selling show posters, Faster Pussycat posters, personal donated Tura items and 20% of the money made through sales of the art.
And the best part? The drop-you-dead gorgeous Tura Satana WILL BE THERE IN PERSON!
P.S: Cheap valet parking will be available for this event!
