Free peep show!

Burlesque show at Club Basque
Originally uploaded by smhyla.

When I first went to Club Basque, I didn't understand what all the commotion was about around the bar area. Apparently, the large mirrors behind the bar weren't mirrors. Two burlesque dancers were lounging behind the fake mirrors. Very interesting concept. Instead of go-go dancers, these were wanna-be strip teasers without getting tips.

I wanted to take pictures the first time, but my friend with a camera wouldn't let me take any shots for some crazy reason. Lame. Anyhow, I had my camera this time. I didn't want to be conspicuous, so I took a picture with no flash, so it's a bit dark, but I'm sure you guys can use your imagination. Click on the picture for a better close-up, plus there is one more zoom-up shot on my Flickr site, as a "bonus".

Club Basque was previously known as Club Deep, which was in some movie, I think Ocean Eleven. It's on Hollywood and Vine. I couldn't find the official website, otherwise I would provide the link. It's a joint worth checking out, except when the bathroom plumbing stops working. Yup, you heard me. For the guys, the free peep show might be worth it anyway.
