The Power of Advertising

[Vice Patrol] Local burlesque troupes like the Slippery Kittens and ... who else? ... slipped through several months worth of performances at local clubs before being asked/ordered by the Vice Squad to get licensed or cover up. Those were more innocent times.

Voodoo Darlings Burlesque, a new troupe that has yet to even debut onstage in SLC, has been advertising in City Weekly for the last two weeks--and got a call from the boys who work in blue just yesterday. Was it because of the ads? Let's say yes, and top it off with "Advertising in City Weekly really works!"

That fully-licensed XXXmas burlesque show takes place tomorrow night, Dec. 21, at the Wood Shed, 60 E. 800 South (private club for members, natch), 'round midnight after a night of music and, says here, "1,000 Santas." Let's hope those Clauses have their paperwork in order. (Bill Frost)
