"Inside every woman is a Pussycat Doll," says Robin Antin, the creator of the singing and dancing ensemble. "It's about female empowerment, about being confident with who you are. It's about singing and dancing in front of a mirror by yourself and having fun."

The Pussycat Dolls were born in a tiny dance studio in the LA garage of actress Christina Applegate, with whom Antin was rooming in the early '90s. Antin had appeared in commercials and did choreography for music videos for the likes of Smash Mouth, The Offspring and No Doubt. "But I wanted to do something that was my vision," she says, "something creative and different."

So Antin invited over a few girlfriends who were also tour/music video dancers and they began to play around with her own choreography, a style endowed with the spirit of famed choreographer Bob Fosse (Sweet Charity, Cabaret) but also music from Led Zeppelin to punk rock, Siouxsie and The Banshees to Bjork, and fashion as well. Meanwhile, Applegate suggested they perform at the Sunset Strip's renowned Viper Room. The Pussycat Dolls, which has seen many members in its evolving lineup since debuting in 1995, became the Thursday night opening act for the next six years.

A turning point came in 2000 when No Doubt's Gwen Stefani came to a show and said she'd love to do a guest spot, not just to dance but to sing. So did Christina Aguilera. In 2002 it was time to take the show to a bigger venue and so The Pussycat Dolls moved to The Roxy. For two shows a week, for seven weeks, the place was sold out. Other guest performers included Christina Aguilera, Brittany Murphy, Charlize Theron, Nikka Costa, Paris Hilton and Pamela Anderson. The Pussycat Dolls have opened for the Flaming Lips, Jane's Addiction and The Brian Setzer Orchestra.
