   As for Dorothy Wahl being “daringly different” at the Follies theatre all I gotta say is it’s the same old stuff. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. And, whut do ya want for two bits?

   When I was a young boy, growing up in the San Fernando Valley, one of the rites of passage my cohort imposed on one another was, upon achieving one’s eighteenth birthday, a trip to the Follies down on Main Street and the coveted ticket stub that would then be carried in one’s wallet right next to the ‘Trojan Superba’. Tempest Storm introduced me, albeit at a distance, to the wonders of the female form moving across that tired, old stage, teetering on a pair of stilettoes to the beat of a three man ensemble, partially hidden in an orchestra pit from which a persistent column of blue cigarette smoke arose. Ah, those were the days!

   I grew up in Philadelphia, home of the fabled Troc, with its hilarious stripper names: Chanda Leer, Carlotta Tendant (“You’ll want to park with her all night!”), Takya Vestoff (“Sweetie of the Tsars!”), Ann Tarctic.
