"Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl..." the Lyrics blasted from her pink boom box from the Sears catalog. Lola Staar,
shimmied her seven-year-old body into her favorite fringed flapper dress from
the dress up chest. With a determined gleam in her eye, she pulled on her pompom
footies and laced her roller skates tightly to her feet. Then, Lola began to
skate. Unbeknownst to the world above, this basement showgirl was hard at work.
the metal wheels of her roller skates became a shiny blur as she passed again
and again the dress-up chest, ping pong table, the hot water heater and around
again. She could feel her heart pounding in her chest.....Lola knew, she always
knew, one day she would be a star.
As Lola Staar grew, her dreams changed course
but she always revered the profound truth in those boom-box-dress-up-daydreams.
In 1991 Lola dreamt her fabulous tee shirt line into existence. This dream
was born out of the magical thumping techno bass of abandoned warehouse
raves in
Detroit where Lola first sold her glittering line of tees. The dream of creating
empowering clothing with the same sense of dreaming as the fringed flapper
dress from the dress up chest brought Lola to New York City. It wasn't
long before
her heart soon found it's home in Coney Island. Since that fateful day, Lola
Staar has captured the hearts of millions with the adorably sassy line of tee
shirts that she designs and sells at The Lola Staar Souvenir Boutique on the
Coney Island Boardwalk, the Union Square Holiday Market and in fabulous retail
stores across the world.
LOLA STAAR SOUVENIR BOUTIQUE
The shimmering
breeze of the sparkling sea brought Lola to the magical and sometimes
scandalous
land of
mayhem and wonder, Coney Island. Since the summer of 2001 the iridescent
hot pink glow of the Lola Staar Souvenir Boutique can be seen for
miles around,
radiating from the legendary Coney Island Boardwalk. Seduced by
the love of glitz and the
glare of sparkling lights, Lola opened her boutique and began capturing the
bazaar history and fantastical folklore of carvivalesque land of
Coney Island in her tee shirt designs. Each summer, customers lose
themselves in the rapture of Coney
Island souvenirs and collectibles, enchant-alicous Lola Staar tees, glittering
jewelry, marvelous Mermaid Day memorabilia, beach toys, sparkling dress up
gear, antique tin windup toys, beautiful tattoo parlor chochkie
and an infinity of
kitschy novelties.
NEW YORK BURLESQUE COLLECTION
It was during
the wild technicolor nights of splendor at Coney Island's "Burlesque at the Beach" that
Lola met the sassy, sexy and fabulous stars of the booming New York Burlesque
underworld. These talented ladies are the inspiration behind Lola's new line
of "New York Burlesque" tee shirts. Bunny Love, Bambi, Lucky, Lady
Ace, *BOB*, and the world famous Pontani Sisters are a just few of the fabulous
stars depicted in this sassy and fun line. In addition to this line of tees,
