EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases an original costume design for a performer portraying the Mercury God of Speed at Murrays Cabaret Club, located in the heart of Soho, London, at 16-18 Beak Street. The image encapsulates the essence of Clubland's glamour and excitement, as the showgirl dons an elaborate and revealing Mercury costume. The God of Speed is depicted in all his mythological splendor, with intricately designed wings adorning his back, a winged helmet resting atop his head, and a scepter held in one hand. The god's iconic winged sandals gracefully peek out from beneath the performer's scantily clad legs, adding an air of mystery and allure. The design of this costume is a true testament to the skill and creativity of the dressmaker, with every detail meticulously crafted to bring the Mercury God to life on the cabaret stage. The shimmering gold fabric, adorned with intricate beadwork and sequins, clings to the performer's body, accentuating her curves and movements. The revealing nature of the costume adds an element of risqué sophistication, making it the perfect choice for a floorshow at Murrays Cabaret Club. The Mercury God of Speed costume is just one example of the elaborate and stylish designs that graced the stages of Soho's most famous nightclubs during the 1950s and 60s. This photograph offers a glimpse into the world of showgirls and entertainers who captivated audiences with their glamour, talent, and ability to push the boundaries of what was considered acceptable in entertainment.
