The Pussycat Dolls are a female burlesque dance revue based in Los Angeles. The group was founded by choreographer Robin Antin in 1995.
A number of celebrities have also guest-performed with the group. The dancers perform in lingerie and old-fashioned pin-up costumes and there is no nudity or explicit sex in their performances. The group has become nationally popular and has been featured in magazines, television specials for MTV and VH1, ad campaigns, and movies. Carmen Electra was the group's lead performer. Nicole Scherzinger, a former member of the American Popstars winners Eden's Crush, has now become the group's lead singer.
They congratulated themselves with their first air-wave hit "Don't Cha" (featuring Busta Rhymes, and originally done by Tori Alamaze) by performing it in a club for their adoring fans. It has so far reached #11 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in the US in 2005. They appeared on The Tonight Show on June 10, 2005.
