The strip club is actually missing a bet.
When Sarah Palin first got into the spotlight, her look was an overnight fashion sensation. Her hairstyle, glasses, and outfits were the trendy thing for women, despite horrifying the usual freaky fashionistas. Stores sold out of her preferred glasses frames and shoes.
What the strip club should have done is held a “Sarah Palin lookalike strip-off amateur night.” They could have even sold it as several events, such as a swimsuit competition, a wet t-shirt competition, and a stripping competition, with all the entrants going for the Sarah Palin look.
Their box office, for men *and* women, would have been huge.
Sounds like a great idea, wished I had thought of it and had the resources and contacts to push for that at a local place, it probably would have done well.
