...center of most of the other dance numbers is Shannon Thompson, a girl who can't help but ignite you spinal chord. Miss Thompson is, quite simply, the best musical comedienne Cambridge could ever hope to have. From the first time I saw her (as a stripper in Gypsy, looking something like an eight-foot tall slutty butterfly), I knew this girl could do no wrong. As Lola, the sexiest witch of all time, she grabs more laughs than anyone (including no doubt the authors), ever knew existed in the role. Even here dancing has a certain humorous, self-mocking...
...Block's most ardent champion is its reigning queen, Stripper Blaze (40-24-38) Starr. At 34, Blaze is still the liveliest ecdysiast on the Block and heads the bill at her own nightspot, the Two O'Clock Club, whose value she estimates at $500,000. "You have to change with the times," Blaze says. "I'm not against urban renewal, but Baltimore needs a place for conventioneers and tourists." Often half her audience is composed of women friends who work with her on various Baltimore charities. Blaze is respectable and respected, but she is sadly aware...
...share the stage with some other people, among them Maria Karnilova. This is the first time in Miss Karnilova's career (which includes performances varied as a stripper in Gypsy and Tevye's wife in Fiddler on the Roof) that we see enough of her to leave the theatre satisfied.

In one scene, during a song that tells of the "pretty admirals" who kept company with her in the distant past...
...Watchers. "The woman who walks away from the beach without a cover-up is out of her mind," says Designer Brigance. Even on the beach, girls are likely to feel the need of protection from sunburn, windburn, sandstorms and stares. To cope with the problem, some suits, called "stripper-dippers," come in three pieces-bra, pants and a removable midsection. Other cover-ups range from elongated sweaters that reach mid-calf (elsewhere called dresses) to Donald Brooks's coolie shirts, which just cover the suit at the hip line. Some of the most elegant are the ankle-length caftans...
Though the marquees scream about a VOLCANO OF SMOLDERING PASSION!, the view inside is little more than a Playboy peep show, less glossy but just as sexless. Lust is a popeyed man ogling a barmaid's cleavage, virginity a lacquered ex-stripper trying to look like a wide-eyed schoolgirl caught up in the evil ways of the big city. Usually, there are only random glimpses of breasts and bottoms, although lately the nudies have been edging closer to the limits of pornography with a rash of "sadie-massies" that drag in homosexuality, flagellation, voyeurism, lesbianism and assorted orgies...
