Okay, so this one is tailor-made for all your aspiring noir writers out there. Maybe the horror folks as well. Y’all should have a field day with this one.
Check out that headline of that article.”Severed hand found in nude dancer’s home.” And the article also contains the gem that the hand was allegedly “a gift from a medical student who frequented an all-nude juice bar where she dances.” A juice bar?
Anyway, noir and horror folks, have at it. This should provide plenty of story possibilities.
What a great find this should be for the right writer. Nude juice bars???
Actually, “juice bars” are a slang term in California. The laws there (and other states, such as Illinois) prohibit fully-nude dancing (as opposed to topless) and serving alcohol in the same establishment.
By not serving alcohol, you avoid this rule - and as an added bonus, 18-year-olds can get in. This is popular in areas with a high concentration of military. (How do you think I found this out?)
Wow. I had no idea I was so sheltered.
Damn. “Juice bars.” That introduces a whole new gamut of excuses I can use!
I had a similar reaction when the guys at the base suggested we visit a juice bar (San Diego, late ’80s.)
They didn’t have women like that back in Central Illinois!
