Doc_Z Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 I can't remember the exact measurements, but they were tremendous. Her club was a mecca for Vietnam bound GIs in the mid-60s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triplane Posted July 12, 2018 Author Share Posted July 12, 2018 Her Dodas indeed. They came to be known as San Francisco's "other" Twin Peaks. She was the first topless dancer in town. In the mid-1960's admission to the Condor was $5 and another $20 for a two-drink minimum. But the lines were long and if you wanted to be sure of a table Bruno (the doorman) would be glad to help you out you for an additional $50. She went bottomless in 1969. Those were the days.................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triplane Posted July 16, 2018 Author Share Posted July 16, 2018 Yep...I knew the doorman at several of the high profile clubs in those days. As my mother once told me.....life is too short to spend it dancing with ugly women. And I soon learned that life is also too short to spend any of it standing in a long line to get a lousy table.............Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Dirty devils! Ronnie Scott's jazz club was my favourite. Great music and plenty of dancing. London girls tended to be good girls so there wasn't much of that either. Talk about deprived! John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
