...Romans-where it may still be needed, from what I hear. If armor has now been turned from defense to seduction, it was a woman who did it -and to perpetrate fraud on men. So far as the latter are concerned, women can, if they wish, go as topless as they are now bottomless...
...Sacramento's Pink Pussy Kat Tavern, where Go-Go Dancer Susanne Haines, charged with indecent exposure, performed eight numbers. For four of them, she wore Exhibit J, a pair of transparent red panties; in the remaining four, she wore only her gold sandals for the full topless-bottomless effect.
