American Pickers star Danielle Colby as she poes in just a thong and pasties to promote the show

American Pickers star Danielle Colby is once again turning heads—this time not for her antique finds, but for her daring promotional flair. The reality TV favorite recently shared a bold Instagram teaser, unveiling a risqué ensemble featuring a thong and nipple pasties that left little to the imagination.

In the vibrant teaser video, Colby, also known by her stage name Dannie Diesel, began the routine wearing a striking lime-green corset and elaborate feathered headpiece. As the performance ramped up, she shed layers to reveal her tattooed body adorned with tassel pasties shaped like marijuana leaves paired with a rhinestone tassel thong. The clip, brimming with theatrical energy, featured Colby twirling tassels, dropping her skirt, and honing in on the camera with a Marilyn Monroe–esque pout. The routine was created to promote her upcoming “Dannie Diesel Dope Show” in Puerto Rico.

This isn’t Colby’s first sultry social media spotlight. Just days before, she posted another provocative snapshot—a candid bedroom scene in which she sported a crop top and thong while smoking, alongside full leopard-print corset and face paint looks tied to her burlesque performances. Earlier still, she teased her appearance at the 13th Annual International Burlesque Festival in a plunging leopard-print bodysuit, proudly showcasing her curves and legs with dramatic flair.

Long before her television fame, Colby performed as a burlesque dancer under the moniker Dannie Diesel, founding troupes and dance academies such as Burlesque Le Moustache and Bump ‘n’ Grind Academy. Her burlesque work remains a deeply personal passion, one she considers both empowering and artful. Mike Wolfe, her American Pickers co-star, has praised her dual roles and creative drive.

This recent veer toward bold self‑promotion comes after a social media hiatus earlier this year. Colby deactivated both her Instagram and OnlyFans accounts, reportedly to focus on her personal life and health. Her return has seen a renewed presence across platforms, complete with seductive imagery and performance updates.

Since American Pickers first premiered in 2010, Colby has balanced her reality TV duties with her burlesque alter ego—each facet feeding the other. Her latest photo series cements that dual identity, reminding fans she’s as comfortable polished in a studio as she is provocative on stage.
