11. Kellie Everts – the
Stripper for God (1976-1979)
Betty’s religious calling continued to play an important part in
her life: “I often daydreamed of being in a group of nuns working secretly
together as strippers – who mysteriously disappear after work going back to the
convent.”
In early 1976, Betty met
her ideal counterpart, Kellie Everts.
*** {Rasa says: It was July 1975, I was on AM Washington
speaking about the Esquire article – the first national article on female body
building.} ***
Everts was a bodybuilder
and stripper, who had been Miss Nude Universe 1969 and Miss Body Beautiful
1974.
*** {Rasa says: Miss Body Beautiful 1st place,
twice
She also had a deep evangelical religious
conviction and was the self-styled ‘Stripper for God’, an ecdysiast who was
also a minister. Everts was the Vice President of ‘One World Light Church’,
a small offbeat Christian sect that sought to unite all faiths.
Betty was smitten with the idea of joining Everts: “I became a
student and a disciple of Kellie Everts after seeing her on a T.V. show. I was
impressed by her spiritual qualities. I believe Kellie Everts is a Living
Saint, and her closeness to God can’t help but cause me to love and admire
her.”
When Everts ordained Betty as a minister in February 1976,
reactions were skeptical to say the least:
From Cheri magazine (April
1977):
God must be having a nervous
breakdown. I dig that his job must be incredibly demanding but Honeysuckle
Divine a REVEREND?! I guess the big G does work in mysterious ways but it sure
is a sign of the changing times that his newest messenger’s specialty is
shooting pickles out of her snatch.
Betty and Everts (right)
become close and talked about how stripping could spread the word of the Lord,
and how they could set up a boarding home for children from poor homes in Fort
Lauderdale, but their relationship was strained by Betty’s frequent busts.
On March 8, 1977, she was arrested for performing at Aquarius
Adult Center in Gloucester, NJ – whilst in the middle of playing ‘Mary Had A
Little Lamb’ on the horn (“That’s what you get for fucking sheep, I guess!”)
This time it was the

But on a Tuesday night,
Betty was busted with another act, Wendy Williams (who, as Wendy O’Williams,
would later achieve greater fame as lead singer for the American punk band,
the Plasmatics). Rod

herself, she talked about me!} ***
Another bust came a few weeks later at the Studio Theater at
1632 Market St, Philadelphia where she was given a police citation.
Betty was keen to prove her value to Everts and to the ‘
*** {Rasa says: I was
impressed by her zeal for God’s work, & the way she handled the
promotion. She wrote things out by hand
– not typewriter – xeroxed them - & sent them to all the media including
the Russian Embassy, which answered her that they would consider witnessing the
sermon!} ***
As a publicity event, it was successful (it was covered the
following day on the front page of the Washington Post)
*** {Rasa says: There was
front page publicity COAST TO COAST in the United States – all the way to the
Los Angeles times – where I got a call from an agent about doing a movie on my
life. We were ON THE WASHINGTON NEWS
before & after the speech, the Washington Post did a huge article the DAY
BEFORE the speech & that’s why we had a BIG AUDIENCE of Washington men in
suits & the Washington News there again.
We were called, at the theater by SIXTEEN RADIO STATIONS the day after
the speech – from all over the
Betty Jane Allsup
The article says I denied knowing her – that they had contacted me - not true – No one contacted me about her - I have made inquiries even recently but could not get any info.
Understand
that those in the adult trade are working out of necessity to SURVIVE. They are not IMMORAL – it is not SIN or an
affront to the Almighty. Second, her
PERFORMANCE is an ACT, NOT REAL LIFE. Do
not confuse the person with their act or performance as 'All the world's a
stage, & we are merely players.'
I did NOT like her act because it was demeaning / self deprecating. But she did it to SURVIVE. As just a plain dancer, like this says, she was unable to support herself. She was clever & thought of gimmicks that worked - her finances increased after that. As this says, she became a star & had big audiences. I also thought her act was bad for her psyche & life in general, as it was incredibly stressful to get arrested constantly, where in each state she got arrested, in order to clean her record, she would have to return to that state & face charges. There would be only a deficit not a benefit to her, each time she did this. The time & expense was so great she missed facing some of these accusations. So the charges remained on record.
Because of her good heart, religious background & spiritual intentions, she was CHOSEN BY GOD to set up the occasion of my preaching in front of the White House. This was the highlight of my life & hers, although this event HAS NOT BEEN RECOGNIZED OR APPRECIATED AS HAVING AN EFFECT ON THE WORLD STAGE. It is DISMISSED because the women involved were in the adult trade – society is not yet able to see past that.
Because of Our Lady of Fatima, the Power of
her Immaculate Heart, the Polish Pope got elected, then Reagan &
Gorbachev. People did pray the rosary
for the conversion of Russia {Betty Jane went to Church daily & said they
were praying it as a group in the Church of the Immaculate Conception}, the
Pope did consecrate Russia to her Immaculate Heart {after he got shot & the
moment he recovered asked to see the papers on Fatima}, then Perestroika &
Glasnost occurred. The Cold war ended,
Communism fell because of this event.
And mark this: the threat of
World War III which loomed at that time was AVERTED & nations were not
annihilated. Holy Mary's Immaculate
Heart Triumphed. See my account:

2. The
Convent, and the waitress (1959 – 1963)
In summer 1959, Betty had had enough of
She left for
The new life started well, but after only three months, Betty
had had enough. “I loved the nuns and the convent life, but I couldn’t
understand the spiritual lessons they tried to teach me. I felt an inner
compulsion to run away.”
One night the devil appeared to her and told her he would kill
her if she stayed in the convent. Betty Jane, terrified, climbed out of the
window and ran for her life.
“At the same time, religion was never far away. As she said to a
bewildered Penthouse magazine interviewer in 1975: “I would like to be
remembered as a person who believed in

Divine, Cheri magazine (October 1978):

Today I have written & published 21 books available on the internet – several on strictly spiritual subjects - Amazon, Barnes & Noble & Lulu Press, most under the name Rasa Von Werder, a couple as Kellie Everts. I am on Wikipedia, but it is far from a complete synopsis. Check my life stories Parts 1 to 5 & more coming shortly. The name of my bios is "I Strip for God” – 5 volumes so far, will be perhaps 3 more.
Our Time in
We
were both dancing that week at the Plaza Theater – she’d got me the gig. She was not Honeysuckle Divine, the one &
only – that was too elaborate, she was ‘Angie Baby.’ She was very pretty, had a nice body, her
body language said ‘humble’ instead of ‘confident,’ which did not mark her as
‘star.’{The audience, if you aren’t confident, will devour you. They might ignore you like you don’t mean
anything, laugh at you or even boo you – they might shout insults, they might
walk out on your act unless you command s Presence – it isn’t just looks or
talent – it’s the energy you transmit.}
So ‘as a woman’ she had no ‘pride’ or ‘self esteem’. But when she did her ‘Honeysuckle’ act she was perfect as it was SELF DEMEANING /DEPRECATING. This SUITED HER PERSONALITY, her total humility & self abnegation. She came out on the stage as a CLEANING WOMAN, with a mop that she used as a joke, & did all sorts of incredibly humiliating, salaciously ingenious things with her vagina. Her ability to make money came out of this act – it was hit. She went from $300 a week as a dancer to $1,500 a week doing this. No woman had ever done the kind of things she did. They were humiliating, embarrassing & hilarious. The audience screamed with laughter.
However, this is important: You cannot judge, measure or define a person by what they do on stage or in the ‘theater of life,’ – as long as it’s not ‘for real.’ What she did was for money / survival. Boris Karloff was not a monster, though he played Frankenstein & other villains, neither is Anthony Hopkins or Bela Lugosi. To rivet the min-d & focus on the sexually comedic act Betty Jane did on stage is to focus on a part she played – it was in her life but NOT HER LIFE, it was theater. It was personality, not her soul. She was not, in her heart, the character she played. Inside she was a kind, gentle, humble soul who loved God & cared about others. To focus only on her theatrical act, to speak of it only, is to continue her entertainment, but it is not explaining her true self. As her act was a form of self-exploitation, for people to focus on that & that alone, is to exploit her again, & to make matters worse, it makes her seem eccentric in a bad way, like she’s crazy. Her act was ‘crazy’ but she’s smart as a fox………………..
I
was not gung ho about the preaching part of the week in
How
Betty Jane came up with the idea of Our Lady of Fatima I haven’t a clue. I believe God put it into her head. Obviously it was a Catholic thing – she had
heard of it as I had. I explain
elsewhere my background, coming from a country occupied by Communist Russia,
being oppressed, my Dad the Professor was a community leader & in all his
speeches he stressed removing Communism from our nation. Yes I heard of Our Lady of Fatima, probably
even saw the movie, ‘Miracle at
Betty
Jane had six cats & I was impressed by how much she loved them, even cooking
fish for them every night! Daily she’d
take some of them in a carry case down the elevator & let them loose
outside for an hour, then bring them back, take the other guys down. Not sure how she got them to walk about &
then gather them again to bring them back up.
Not that they were cooped up – the lovely balcony of her apt had plenty
of light & they lounged in the sun.
She told
me how she wore the same dress several days in a row {she wore silky dresses
& looked fetching in them – men paid attention} until one of her cats went
into the closet & dragged out a different dress & put it by her feet.
And
she spoke of Peter Jennings incessantly – that she had had an affair with him
& he was stalking her wherever she went.
I thought it was all imagination /wishful thinking, but I didn’t say
anything. When she came to stay with me
maybe a year later she admitted the Peter Jennings thing was a fantasy.
Each evening we drank tea, she ate vegetarian, I could eat but little as one must stay thin - & the highlight every evening was the Holy Rosary, which we prayed with love.
Then I had a VISION of Our Lady. Later on I published a book, ‘Mother of the Immaculate Heart’ & have the account on the back of it.
VISION & DIRECTIVE FROM THE IMMACULATE HEART
Our Blessed Mother was to the left presenting me the Heart. She said:
“I WANT YOU TO SHOW THE WHOLE WORLD MY IMMACULATE HEART.”
Suddenly
the cloud of white light moved more quickly.
I saw a large brown cross in the sky.
The
white light went to earth & formed a pool of water on the ground. This water also looked like milk. The brown cross went into the water, was
dipped in the water, & came back up. ***

BACK
TO BETTY JANE ALLSUP FROM THE
Honeysuckle Divine’s
name was in lights again, except this time it had been written by someone who
couldn’t spell.
‘HONEYSUCK DIVIN’ read the billboard outside the strip club.
Inside the small, hot building, Honeysuckle sat in the cramped
backstage quarters looking tired. A local house stripper, Misty Rae, who’d
worked with Honeysuckle on a few occasions, remembers that night. It was the
last time she saw Honeysuckle Divine.
“She was looking pretty beat after the show, so I said “Tired,
honey?”
She barely raised her head, so I asked her if she was ok. After
the longest time she said something about finishing. Retiring for good. She
must have been about 50 years old, and looked every one of her years.
We got chatting, and Honeysuckle talked about her many years on
the road. She said she knew her act was bawdy, rude. Lewd even.
Honeysuckle said: “I’ve always done it because I like to
entertain people. Make them happy.
“I used to think I was in on the joke, but now I wonder if that
was ever the case. I just seem to be the joke.
“And sometimes I just wonder how I got here”.
“My
God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?”
PS People do not give credit to Betty Jane &
myself for the event in front of the
White House – as if it meant nothing, like it was some sort of publicity stunt
– as if the results that came out of it had nothing to do with the speech. , the
assumption being, God would not choose a stripper & a porno lady to do
‘His’ work.
However, God has often chosen
the most lowly of people – the poorest of the poor, those who are unlettered,
unrecognized, un-heralded, unknown, with no credentials, education or prestige. Some examples:
St. Juan Diego Cuauhtlatoatzin {‘Eagle Messenger’} is
known for receiving the vision of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Born in 1474 in
From
Wikipedia: Although not destitute, he
was neither rich nor influential.[g] His
religious fervor, his artlessness, his respectful but gracious demeanour
towards the Virgin Mary and the initially skeptical Bishop Juan de Zumárraga, as well as his devotion to his sick
uncle and, subsequently, to the Virgin at her shrine – all of which are central
to the tradition – are among his defining characteristics and testify to the sanctity
of life which is the indispensable criterion for canonization.[h
What about Bernadette
Soubirous, who brought us Our Lady of
By
the time of the events at the grotto, the Soubirous family's financial and
social status had declined to the point where they lived in a one-room
basement, formerly used as a jail, called le cachot, "the
dungeon", where they were housed for free by her mother's cousin.
And
what of Lucia, Francisco & Jacinta?
What prestige, education & accomplishments distinguished them in
Wikipedia: Between May
and October 1917, Lúcia and her cousins Jacinta and
Francisco Marto reported visions of a luminous lady, who they
believed to be the Virgin Mary, in the Cova da Iria fields outside the hamlet
of Aljustrel,
near Fátima, Portugal.[10] The children said the
visitations took place on the 13th day of each month at approximately
According to Lúcia's accounts, the lady told the children to
do penance and to make sacrifices to save
sinners. Lúcia said that the lady stressed the importance of saying
the Rosary every day, to bring peace to the
world.[11] Many young Portuguese men,
including relatives of the visionaries, were then fighting in World War I. Lúcia heard Mary ask her to learn
to read and write because Jesus wanted to employ her to convey messages to the
world about Mary, particularly the Immaculate Heart
of Mary.
Lúcia's
mother did not take kindly to the news that her youngest daughter was having
visitations, believing that Lúcia was simply making up lies for attention.
Heretofore the favorite, Lúcia, suffered beatings and ridicule from her mother.
She was especially incredulous of the idea that Lúcia had been asked to
learn to read and write.
And there you have it, three of the greatest visionaries
chosen by God, in the humblest stations of life – people who are not taken
seriously or given a high standing in society. There were many others like that – The Holy
Mother has appeared numerous times to people for answer to prayer & in time
of the greatest travail. The Website
Woman Thou Art God has an account of these:
https://womanthouartgod.com/mary.php
And there you have it – how God chooses is not the way
the world does. Betty Jane & I,
do we have high stations in life as members of the adult trade? To some, those in our business are rendered
‘Untouchables,’ the lowest of the low, unfit as members of ‘polite & moral
society.’ But God looks at the
heart. If you dig deeper under the
façade of ‘sinfulness’ you’d see that
both Betty Jane & I are open hearted to God, doing the things God asks like
praying the rosary, going to Holy communion & being kind to others. We were
chosen for our hearts, {the value inside} not our professions. {End Chapter 5}
