Tragic Death ! 1 hour ago! For American Pickers’ Danielle Colby Very Sad News !! It will shock U!

Danielle Colby is best known as the bold and outspoken star of the History Channel’s American Pickers, but she recently revealed more details about the “risqué” work she does outside the show.

On Sunday, April 20, Colby took to Instagram to educate fans about her career in nude performance art and burlesque.

“What is an ecdysiast? Let me tell you. An ecdysiast is somebody who sheds clothing for money. It is somebody who is naked for a living like myself — not on American Pickers — but on stage and many of my friends,” Colby, 49, explained.

She went on to clarify that the term covers much more than just stripping.

“It can encompass a whole bunch of different types of nude art, including just nude modeling, burlesque, strip tease, pole film, photo, adult films. It encompasses everything,” she added.

Fans quickly flooded her comments with support.

“So glad I found this page. Thank you for the education,” one follower wrote.
“Proud supporter of the art,” another added.

Colby has never been shy about her burlesque career. She has performed for years under the stage name Danny Diesel, and much of her social media presence highlights her work in the burlesque world.

But her newest announcement may be her biggest yet.

Earlier this month, Colby revealed that she is opening a brand-new museum dedicated to burlesque and nude performance history.

She announced she will be launching the Ecdysiast Arts Museum in Davenport, Iowa.

“It’s a really beautiful location right next to the Adler Theater, right next to the symphony, right down the street from Trash Can Annie. There’s a million fantastic, really great shops to visit,” she shared in an Instagram post on April 16.

The museum is scheduled to open on Saturday, June 21, and Colby says it will offer much more than just exhibits.

“We will have shows, we will have workshops, we will have panels, and we will have fun little vintage parties as well,” she revealed.

Colby also teased that visitors will get to see rare burlesque artifacts and collectibles.

“You’re going to get to see some of the most rare iconic vintage costuming, books, clothing, jewelry, and I’m really excited to share it all with you.”
