The Pussycat Dolls (abbreviated to PCD) are an American pop/R&B girl group and dance ensemble founded by choreographer Robin Antin in 1995 as a burlesque troupe based in Los Angeles. After attracting national attention, Antin eventually negotiated a record deal with Interscope Records in 2003 turning the group into a music franchise, comprising Nicole Scherzinger alongside Carmit Bachar, Melody Thornton, Jessica Sutta, Ashley Roberts and Kimberly Wyatt. Since then the group has developed a global image and commercial brand overseen by Antin, Interscope and various partners. They have diversified into reality television programs, a Las Vegas act and product endorsements amongst other things.Pussycat Dolls Black CostumePussycat Dolls Sexy PosePussycat Dolls to those Who WaitPussycat Dolls AlbumPussycat Dolls Party DressesPussycat Dolls Using DressPussycat Dolls Sexy SingerPussycat Dolls on the Stage
