New Feminist-Friendly Strip Club Opens
Elgin, IL - The French Belle erotic dance club opening next Tuesday morning in this small Illinois town is going to offer something just a little different than what the typical strip club patron may expect. “It’s feminist-friendly!” owner Chuck Rab says. And he reminds local wives, mothers, and female college students of this whenever they express their wariness of yet another local den of pole-dances and females degrading themselves for sweaty dollars.
The first thing one notices upon driving up to the nondescript windowless building is the marquee. “Hot Ass Bent-Over Womyn” it reads, incorporating the “men”-less spelling of “women” favored by some harder-lined feminists. Rab does not seem swayed by the prospect that potential customers may find a pro-feminist strip club to be a turn-off. “I don’t care. I’m going to do what’s right for womyn,” declared Rab. “And I’m spelling that with the ‘myn’ when I say that.”
The Web site announcing the grand opening of the club includes other female-sensitive blurbs. “Cum see girls with jobs (as hot strippers) flop they tits about!” reads one. “Jade is your housewife and begs you to let her go to the feminist tea party. She’ll do anything for you if you let her!” declares a poster advertising one of the club’s stable of dancers dressed only in heels and an apron (which she holds in her hand). Another performer goes by the nom de stripper Gloria Stein-Anus-Em, which is a pun on the name of the women’s rights champion.
“Also, our club is not named ‘Women Are Just Objects to Rub Your Parts On,’” Rab said proudly.

Acrylic-heeled shoes help women reach closer to the glass ceiling even if not quite to the point that they can break through it.

This guy sounds like the owner of Hawaiian Tropic restaurant. All the women wear bikinis. He proclaims himself to be a feminist.

Thanks “Dirk”, but doesn’t the article say this new club is in Elgin, IL???

Alright…thanks…we are getting closer, but there is no 47601…
Please help. It is strange too. The only place I find this club listed is on thedirk.com.
Thanks for all your help!

Still no luck…I know it has been a while and I have not been searching for this place the whole time…
Was this article a farce and did I bite a hook with no worm? Does this place really exist? Thanks again…

Dear Jay,
The French Belle exists as much as true love, Christmas, and that dictionary exists.
