Scope and Contents

"Evening Magazine" tv segment on Las Vegas showgirls. Host Jonathan Karsh appears inside a dressing room with showgirls getting ready for a perform at the Stardust Hotel.

Karsh tells about her history and journey becoming a showgirl, and Aki is shown working out at the gym and practicing at Stardust. She discusses the difference between strippers, showgirls, and dancers, and how she wants women to be inspired, not intimidated, by her performances on stage. The host also talks with Aki about studying while dancing, and how she plans to fall back on international law when she can no longer perform.
