Author Eve Littlepage (blog: http://www.evelittlepage.com/blog/ ) is donating her May and June royalties from CELESTIAL BODIES IN ORBIT: Memoirs of the Unknown Stripper to the Burlesque Hall of Fame (BHoF website: http://www.burlesquehall.com/ ).
The Burlesque Hall of Fame is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit museum, located
at the corner of Fremont & 6th Streets in historic Downtown Las
Vegas, with a mission to preserve, celebrate, and inspire the art of
burlesque.
The Burlesque Hall of Fame
Weekend, is BHoF's principal fundraising event, and takes place June
2-5, 2016 at The Orleans Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. The weekend
has grown from humble beginnings in the 1950s, when it was conceived by
Burlesque Legend Jennie Lee, and nurtured by Dixie Evans and others into
an elaborate extravaganza.

Author Eve Littlepage is using hashtag
#CBO4BHoF for the Fundraiser on social media, noting that, '"Celestial
Bodies in Orbit Book Sale Benefit for the Burlesque Hall of Fame,' is a
bit long."
Celestial Bodies in Orbit
is the author's memoir of striptease dancing in the Boston area during
the 1970s and 80s. She published it in 2012 after funding it through
Kickstarter. Her story is laced with references to the I Ching, ghostly
visitations, and spiritual epiphanies. It is also laced with references
to, and celebrations of, Burlesque.
In the process of
publishing her book, Littlepage discovered the Burlesque Hall of Fame,
and the rebirth of the art form as Neo-Burlesque. She wishes to support
The BHoF in their efforts to preserve the past and serve up a new
evolution of burlesque.

The BHoF Weekend (http://bhofweekend.com/
is the longest-running burlesque event in the world: four days of
flirty and fun Burly-Q events, including classes and performances from
Legends and Neo-Burlesquers, so popular that it has a waiting list to
attend this year.
Littlepage says it is
fitting to do a fundraiser to re-launch her memoir. She has had a long
history of volunteering and fundraising for non-profits, which began
during her 'Celestial Bodies in Orbit' days.
Littlepage's donation will
help bring Burlesque Legends to the 2016 BHoF Weekend and support the
Museum. Her royalties from May and June through Amazon will go to the
BHoF.* (link to Celestial Bodies in Orbit: www.evelittlepage.com/CBO/ )
*(Purchases of her memoir
are not tax-deductible for buyers, but the royalties Eve Littlepage
gives to BHoF will be a charitable donation.
