Photo: Todd Oldham The burlesque artist Angie Pontani and her musician husband, Brian Newman, live in a family-hand-me-down-filled house in Marine Park along with their 8-year-old daughter, Sistilia. “Everybody knows that we love old things,” Pontani says, showing me her Aunt Livia’s armchair, once upholstered in mauve floral (“My mom’s friend who does the interiors of cars reupholstered that for us in that leopard”), and the bedroom set inherited from her parents. They own a piano once used by Frank Sinatra, and the house is stocked with her dad’s flea-market finds. “Growing up, this is one of the things that my dad would do every Sunday morning,” Pontani says. “We’d get up at five and go, and we’d just search for cool stuff.” The dining room.
