In a recent NY Times article I discovered something oh so interesting. There are an increasing amount of strip clubs that pride themselves on being vegan and/or vegetarian. Dancers wear animal friendly outfits and the menus offer a wide array of healthy food items. Article author Kara Jesella writes, "At his Casa Diablo Gentlemen's Club, soy protein replaces beef in tacos and chimichangas; the dancers wear pleather, not leather" (NY Times March 27, 2008: E1 Thursday Styles).
Jesella continues, "Casa Diablo is just the latest example of selling veganism with a "Girls Gone Wild" aesthetic" (NY Times). What do you all think about this?

Oh how PC of them.
This quote is just so damn cute:
“(It’s) vixens, not veal, and sizzle, not steak,” Diablo said. “We put the meat on the pole, not on the plate.”
Wonderful.
It seems like that quote that Molly put up isn't too much from "GUGS, Grade A, Size D." Women as meat--it's not that novel, is it?
