by Marty Demarest & r & The world-famous underwear of Leona Dare is carefully preserved between sheets of acid-free tissue paper in a box stored in the underground archives of the Northwest Museum of Arts & amp; Culture in Spokane. Throughout the late 1800s, this underwear presented the world below with Leona Dare, internationally renowned trapeze artist, hanging by her teeth from a hot air balloon. Night after night, and any matinee that paid, Leona Dare rose, against all odds, above the dirty and uneasy life below. As official museum catalog number 2790.5ab, the set is easily the pride of the Northwest Museum of Arts & amp; Culture's unofficial Leona Dare collection. There is no trick to Leona Dare's hook.
