Tanqueray

Authors: Brandon Stanton, Stephanie Johnson

Format: Hardcover

In 2019, Humans of New York shared a photograph of Stephanie Johnson in a striking fur coat and hat she had made herself, and millions were captivated. Known to HONY followers as Tanqueray, she was once one of New York City's best-known burlesque dancers.

After Brandon Stanton chronicled her life in his longest HONY series to date, Johnson tells her full story here, sharing never-before-told tales and personal photographs from a bygone New York.
