OT and outta town, The Lusty Lady closes

For all of you who have gazed upon Seattle streets and laughed at the bill boards, stared into the seedyness, or plugged quarters into the viewing booths, this is for you.

For those of you who have never been to Seattle, The Lusty Lady was a female managed peep show that offered profit sharing to it's workers. How great is that? And it's closing for good next month.

Oh yeah, they had puns on their billboards too.

I don't get this one. Is it a pun? On 'growing'?

The one on the left is the best one, I think.

You can still head to the one in SF ... so it's not totally over ;)

And for those wanting some history on it all

lets hope its just a tax dodge and there moving down the street! I wonder why there are not more women co-op places like this, I would support it, although I dont think they take glass cheques

Hahaha the Veni, Vidi, Veni is great

Oliver, Grown in Washington is a statment of pride by the producers in Pike Place Market, which is just around the corner.

Ah, ta.

in the days of political correctness etc just want to know if we are supposed to be happy or sad about the demise of this place ?

just want to be sure before i make any sarcastic comments ?

Easy Dicki, I know this might seem at odds with my view that I don't like semi-naked girls being plastered up all over the forum, but I do see it differntly.
This is (soon to be was, sniff) the right place for that kind of slathering. Not only that, but the girls who worked there were, on the whole, pretty awesome and not what you would find in many other strip joints.

I used to play backgammon with their handyman, I was in a writing group with a girl who worked there and in a band with a few more of them, and I've always had a very special place in my heart for it.

If any one is interested, there is a good history of the place here

It's a news show about it's final days.

RIP, Lusty Lady
