I remember taking the bus, actually two, to get from Brooklyn Center to the Fairgrounds when I was in my early teens. That would be around '68-72 or so. My buddies and I would wander through the midway and see the carny. We were too young to go in the burlesque show but I do remember the pictures. The women had on the usual feathers, lace and pasties. It was hard to imagine that the show was very good given the times and the fact that it was at the fair.

Since we all understood that the rest of the carny was 'fakey' we assured each other that the girlie show wasn't going to be very appealing either. Nothing like what we were seeing in 'Cavalier' and 'Playboy' at the time.
