Since our Fearless Leader, Mr. JB brought up the Stables lounge, that made me thing of the Stables and the Stables Lounge 2nd edition. JB did not depict whether he was referring to the world known Stables Lounge Rock and Roll Joint or the Stables lounge, world known strip joint. Because I am an old guy, I started thinking about both and they started to merge together with Ron's Playgirl lounge, the Keg on 11th street, and the joint I can not remember the name of at 4th and Memorial, P J's Club at 41 and Peoria, and the Brass Rail where a friend took me into and a lady dancer by the name of Patti Ann caused me to drink my first beer. Damn that has cost me a lot of money as I am sitting here and sipping on my 9th beer of the evening. She did know what was good for me.
This post and thoughts brought up things from 40 years ago in my mind of Tulsa night spots of things I had totally forgotten about.
I know the OP of this thread was relating to the uniqueness of the phone ordering system at Ma Bells to order your food which I have done, and I do not want to take away from that uniqueness, however --- --- Here is a old memory that will be unique to the ones that had ever seen it, you will know.
In the early days before strip joints they were basically called Go-Go joints. The ladies danced with very skimpy costumes but there were small spots that had to be covered, no differential in color was allowed, so depending on the individual lady, it depicted how she was formed, that depicted how big the covering had to be. The cover could protrude, but all had to be one color, and usually had tassels. Some lady's were very adapt at putting on a show with them, twirling in unique directions with the music.
My question is does anyone here remember this? If you ever saw it, you will remember.
There was a joint on North Sheridan called The Brass Rail. There was a lady there that took a different approach to "keeping covered". She used a bed sheet.
During a whole set of songs she could flip it up, down sideways, in, out, everything to the music dragging over her stuff making impressions very visible (not illegal as long as was "covered")
She really put on a show, without showing you anything, but you wanted to see more and you would sit and drink waiting for her turn to come around again just in case of a malfunction. It never happened while I was watching.
Were any of you there?
