The Desert Rose is a glimpse into the life of Dixie Evans, an almost 80-year-old burlesque dancer. A Marilyn Monroe look-alike who would show a lot more than her famous role model; Dixie now runs the world’s only Burlesque Museum in Helendale, CA — near Victorville, in the Mojave Desert. She has single handedly transformed a dusty goat shed into a cult mecca that now attracts a much younger audience and followers from around the world.
