Busty Russell - Burlesque Fame and Giant Tits All-In-One Package

The first recorded instance of Busty Russell revealing her nude body onstage occurred in 1961 in Cincinnati, (USA). She was billed on a cabaret show as "Ravishing Redhead Busty Russell." Busty would tell an interviewer in 1977 that she "never wanted to do anything else" except dance burlesque. From this small beginning, Busty performed in clubs all over eastern North America.

On October 28, 1963, twenty-two-year-old Busty performed at the Victory Theatre in Toronto, Canada. As if her breasts weren't big enough, Canadians advertised her as "the woman with a 60-inch bosom." She was arrested and jailed for "giving an indecent and immoral performance" while "wearing... a flesh-colored G-string and two sequined butterflies," according to the lead "morality squad" detective. Busty was fined $700 - a rather large sum that was eventually paid by an adoring and anonymous benefactor.

But that didn't stop her from shaking her giant breasts on the stages of other clubs and theaters, to name a few: Gayety Globe (Baltimore), Howard, Lyric Theatre, Old Casino (Pittsburgh), State Theatre, Troc... Clubs bill Busty as "The Chest Appeal Girl," "America's Dairy Queen," "Fabulous 50s," "Miss 50," sometimes "Miss 56."

Busty Russell's tits were her main asset, and she knew how to exploit them for all the world to notice. And just how big were Busty Russell's tits? Think of the word "massive" and then double it! Some say she had G-cup US (H EU/Int) knockers. Her official body measurements were 50-24-36 inches (127-61-91 centimeters, see Table 2) while other sources say 50-26-36 inches (127-66-91 centimeters).

But numbers can only give you part of the picture. When this mammoth-titted queen would dance on stage, she could take each breast, tuck them under her armpits, and there would be enough boob sticking out the back to appear as if she had breasts growing out from behind. She could also throw each tit over her shoulder while she gyrated around the stage. Gargantuan indeed!

One fascinating aspect of Busty's life and career was the polar opposites she could transition between with ease. While her fans knew her as the burlesque dancer with the mammoth breasts, she also had a domestic side that can almost be described as "bland." Busty spent an enormous amount of time on the road performing for gentlemen across the United States. However, when she was not on stage during summers, she was the wife of Robert Grey, a bread truck delivery driver, and the couple lived in Syracuse, New York.

She gardened, played bingo, and rode her motorcycle when back home with Robert. Busty Russell may also have been one of the early, unsung pioneers of the women's liberation movement. Robert apparently appreciated Busty's job and her contributions outside the home. "He doesn't mind me being a dancer," Sondra told the Detroit Free Press in 1971. "Heck, I make good money, and I send it home."

As expected, Busty was not camera shy and often posed naked for the lens to generate publicity shots. Busty's photos are striking for her lack of smiling in pictures. It does pop out to the observer that she does not turn up the corners of her mouth in any of her pornographic stills in adult magazines of the '60s. It drives the viewer to wonder, "What is she thinking?" Is it her best erotic look for the camera? Disinterest? A calm before her lustful storm?

One effect of Busty Russell having massive boobs was that she never showed anything below the waist when dancing or posing for photos. No pussy, no ass - nothing. She didn't need to. When a gentleman has whoppers like hers staring him in the face, those natural tits are the only thing he will focus upon. Nothing but 50G (120H EU/Int, see Table 3) breasts for this girl.

Probably her most memorable still photography work was a series of XXX pictures shot outdoors in a pool in the bright sunshine. While Busty Russell was full nude in this series, she still managed to pose her body so that no pussy or ass showed in the images. However, one photo shows her dark pussy hair through the water.

Those hooters took up a substantial part of the camera lens. The full nude look revealed some sexy tan line contrast, as her milky white boobs shined against the slight bronze tone in her arms. She posed with a different hair look, too - long, straight dirty blond popping out from under a cowboy hat.

Unfortunately for Busty Russell, times changed, and with it, what pleased the crowds changed, too. The burlesque dancer era in the '60s was ending with the advent of the XXX porn films. The time of the breast implants was also beginning. Seeing a monstrously breasted BBW woman when any girl could be surgically enhanced was no longer a rare occurrence.

As she sadly told an interviewer: "Big breasts don't mean a thing these days, not with all the silicone jobs around." One of the last recorded instances of Busty Russell dancing was at the Lucky Club in Guam in 1979. She was 38 years old and had been stripping for 21 years. Was this a way to "redeem" herself for her years making nudie magazine pictorials and dancing around burlesque stages?

When the sun set on the burlesque era, Sondra buried that part of her life and the moniker "Busty Russell," too. She returned to Syracuse and wrapped herself up in her life with Robert. In 1991, Sondra and Robert relocated to Waynesboro, Pennsylvania (USA) - a stone's throw from her family in Hagerstown. Sondra reconnected with her family and religion. While Sondra Lou Churchey never had children, she apparently doted on her nephews and nieces as if they were hers.

In 1995, she completed high school via a GED program. Robert died the following year, in 1996. Sondra Lou Churchey passed away on December 31, 2019, at the age of 78, and was buried next to her husband. At the end of her life, no one recognized Sondra as the exquisite Busty Russell.
