The show(girl) must go on
Daily News reporter Brent Hopkins somehow managed to get paid to spend a day with a showgirl, which makes him my official Greg Sidor Hero of the Day.
The fruits of his labor are on display here, and there's also a nifty audio slideshow where you can hear what a Las Vegas showgirl sounds like, just in case a real one won't talk to you.
Hopefuls came out to try and get a spot in a Vegas revue. That has to be a tough audition, especially in a city like L.A., where there's a lot of talent and even more people who think they've got a lot of talent.
I don't understand the whole "sexy peacock" look the showgirls aspire to. Why add ornamentation to someone who's already attractive? It's kind of like putting a racing stripe on a Ferrari - redundant to the extreme.
It is one of the few professions where it's still acceptable to wear feathers as part of your attire - which is why I keep my toucan headdress deep inside my desk until the rest of the Daily News staff goes home. Shhh, it's our little secret.
