Showgirls at the grand opening of the Hard Rock Cafe on the Las Vegas Strip.

This week’s Monday List: Top 11 Signs You’re at a Bad Adult Production:

11. Instead of Carmen Electra, the featured performer is Carman the Electrician.

10. In lieu of sequins, costumes are adorned with hundreds of Gannon Gasket Inc. gum rubber washers.

9. Fancy headdresses are fashioned out of old Tinker Toy Construction Sets.

8. Instead of spanking as the means of sexy onstage punishment, performers are sent to “time out.”

7. Stripper pole is 10 feet of 4-inch PVC pipe.

6. Soundtrack is drawn entirely from Muzak’s “Jukebox Gold.”

5. Boas are made of jackal fur.

4. Instead of topless vampires, the horror theme is topless Uncle Fester.

3. It’s not “Crazy Girls,” it’s “Vacuous Girls.”

2. Twenty minutes is spent on a Pilates demonstration.

1. Signature number is titled, “Halleluiah, Tonopah!”

  1. Where is our Governor when this picture was taken. That;s right in the garage

  2. Not even a little funny John.

  3. John -
    Got a few more for ya --
    1) The obligatory girl-on-girl scene is game of checkers.
    2) Instead of performers being sensuously lowered by high-tension bunjee cords to a sex-themed stage display, they're tossed from the catwalk onto used wrestling mats.
    3) The show stops half-way for Jackie Mason's monologue.
    4) Rip Taylor is one of the "showgirls" but he doesn't look out of place.
    5) New production promo announcement: "Now With 50% Less Hermophrodites!"

  4. I don't understand the point of this. It is neither smart nor funny. In fact, it makes no sense at all.

  5. I didn't know the Hard Rock had these type of Showgirls, just "show-girls" (ala Pink Taco).

    But it got people to look at the picture (and thankfully *somebody* is working).

  6. Did the guy in the background just win a medal of some kind?

  7. If your there!

  8. did not quite cut the mustard. was not funny.

  9. Dang.

  10. It was ok, I liked number 7, funny, and the pic is outstanding However, John, it is a little Fresno-esque, if you know what I mean. All in all, it was ok, are you hung over or something? At least it wasn't offensive. not that bad. To reiterate, not that bad.

  11. You actually got paid to write this?

  12. OK so it's a feather show at the Hard Rock in Vegas So what?
