SALLY RAND

I met my step-father, Tom, in Chicago back in 1968 to dine in a restaurant that utilized topless serving girls..........Tom, who was somewhat embarassed by the scenerio, recalled the more "tasteful" experience of having attending a performance by Sally Rand at a Alabama State Fair, during his youth.......He had seen her famous "Fan Dance" as well as the "Balloon Dance" and thought our Chicago entertainment was tasteless and demeaning........Of course, we didn't leave in disgust, did we? The next evening I drug Tom to see a production of THE BALLAD OF BABY DOE....which was a far cry from ANNIE GET YOUR GUN! I wonder what he'd have thought of VAMPIRE LESBIANS OF SODOM! Tom was embarassed by Captain Eddy's Whizbang playing cards..........
