--
Zorita
was adopted by Methodists as a child, by the time she was fifteen
years old and "built to the hilt for her age" she would
be doing stag parties, then nudists colonies (San Diego Worlds
Fair) and finally turned to burlesque. Her routines would contain
the use of snakes (Pythons & Boa Constrictors) as a gimmick
with her most remembered routine being called "the consummation
of the wedding of the snake".
--
Zorita liked women more than men and never married but did date
certain men and used them for all they were worth. She became
very famous in the world of burlesque and by 1954 had retired
from stripping and owned her own burlesques nightclubs in the
New York and Miami areas.
