The Maine Attraction is an American burlesque performer.[2]

## Life and career

[edit]

Originally from Atlanta, her ethnic background is African American and her mother was a German Jew. In her college years at Georgia State University she studied anthropology. Early in her career she worked at the bar in an Atlanta restaurant as well as a belly dancer. Later she travelled to Brooklyn and responded to a Village Voice advertisement, landing a job as a go-go dancer. One night at New York's Limelight Club, a drag performer failed to show up for work and she replaced them using the stage name Victor Victoria, launching her burlesque career.[1]

She went on to work with musicians Lionel Richie and James Brown[1] and as a weekly performer at the Bathtub Gin speakeasy.[3]

She has since worked in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand hotel and casino as well as hosting at Abingdon Theatre Co.'s Broadway in Tribeca, New York.[1]
