In 1970, Jezebelle re-entered the Burlesque entertainment world, at The Body Shop, in Atlanta, Georgia. After an extended stay, she returned to the road, as "Daphne Lake - Ecdysiast Extraordinaire," during her career, she also appeared as "Daphne Lake, Miss Elegance" and "The Marshmallow Girl" (which referred to one of the routines she performed.)

       Daphne dropped the tassels, but continued to use a rug and a chair, in her act. She also added feathers, fire, the Marshmallow Routine, and a "Scrub Lady" comedy act, to her show. During her Burlesque dancing career, she worked Stripper night clubs and theaters throughout the United States and Canada. Her favorite "stops" were the Rainbow Club in Nashville, owned by the late Skull Schulman; the Roxi Theater in Cleveland, Ohio; the Victory Theater in Toronto, Ontario; and the Flyers' Club in Gander, Newfoundland.

       In 1972, she signed a long-term contract, with the Le Marquis Club, in Washington DC. After her stay there, she appeared at the Merry Land and the Gold Rush clubs, in DC. After her extended run, in Washington, she was reluctant to go back on the road. Even though she loved her career and the audience's appreciation of her skill, the stress of constant travel combined with the rapidly diminishing Burlesque circuit, required her to make a difficult decision.

Daphne Lake retired in Washington, DC in 1973.
