    1/17/05 Page 3 of4 Wasn?╟╓t that beautiful? That number featured our wonderful adagio team,_1 &____?╟≤ Now, we?╟╓ve seen the corsetted ladies of the 1900?╟╓s, those flappers & vamps of the 1920?╟╓s, & the glamour queens of the 1930?╟╓s Hollywood musicals. But in the next decade world events had a profound effect of the female gender. As the men joined the armed services, these little homemakers left their kitchens & took over factory jobs. On the music scene there was an invasion of infectious latin rhythms, which added to the growing popularity of the 1940?╟╓ s Big Band sound. Every cool cat was swigin?╟╓ & on the prowl. AFTER JAVA Let?╟╓s hear it one more time for those amazing dancers! Well, luckily this great 1940?╟╓s sound is exciting a brand new generation today. This was also the decade, by the way in which a tradition was bom that is still carried on. Soldiers, jocks, college boys, in fact men from all walks of life began tearing pictures of pretty girls in provocative poses out of magazines & pinning them up on their walls & lockers. It was the debut of the pin-up. INTRO SPEECH TO THE STRIPTEASE Like the cool jazz sound of the times the ladies of the 1950?╟╓s were stylish, sophisticated, & sometimes so aloof they seemed unreal... 1960?╟╓S & 1970?╟╓S SPEECH In the 60?╟╓s & 70?╟╓s events took place that would shake the very foundation of society. For the first time there was a world wide youth revolution. Existing values & lines of separation were being questioned. The new concepts of free love & unisex gave momentum to the women?╟╓s liberation movement. The message was peace & love & nudity was no longer considered taboo. INTRO TO THE STAR OF THE FOLIES BERGERE OPENING OF SECOND HALF SPEECH (SPACECART) Continuing our celebration of beautiful women, we now come to present day. Unlike the porcelain dolls ofthe 19th century, today?╟╓s women is empowered: a force to be reckoned with!! 6/6/2005
