American Pickers’ Danielle Colby is passionate about burlesque. She’s possibly more passionate about burlesque than anything else, including the picking that’s made her a household name. However, she was only recently about to get back to the activity she loved after having a major surgery: burlesque. The star had been dealing with “unforeseen health issues” leading to a “terrifying” hysterectomy and now she’s opening up about the “small victories” she’s celebrated in the time since. 

Colby is known for grabbing fans' attention with a viral post or five, and this week was no exception. She threw on a lot of green feathers and some matching pasties for a post from her burlesque alter ego Dannie Diesel. In the post, she opened up about the surgery that led to myriad setbacks over the past few months, but also opened up about how her “body is getting stronger finally” following the harrowing incident.
