Yes, indeed. The silly cross-dressing photos from the shows that are performed every year. I forget who put them on. Police or Firefighters or something.
On a personal note, before my brother moved back to NYC, he and his kid would stay at the Trump hotel on Columbus Circle. What an amazing building! The hotel room was circular as I remember with spectacular views of Columbus Circle and the park. The carpets were deep and plush and...oh, my! was it worth every penny my brother paid for the room.
The Lawyers Association along with the city government of Chicago put on a similar CHARITY SHOW every year.
ALL OF THE ELITE BOYS BOARDING SCHOOLS AND SOME OF THE CO-ED ONES, AS WELL AS THE IVY COLLEGES, HAVE PUT ON "HAIRY LEG SHOWS" FOR 100sOF YEARS....LONGER THAN THIS COUNTRY WAS A NATION! Of course, I doubt that today, with all of the PC crap, etc. those schools and colleges do it any more.
The problem, here, is that the vast majority of posters don't know ANYTHING at all about such things! Neither do they care to become knowledgeable about anything outside of their own twee bubbles.
WOW....that sounds marvelous...and yes, your brother's hotel room sounds as though it was worth every penny spent!
When we used to come into the City, from Chicago, we would stay at a suite at The Waldorf Towers; though once we did stay at the Pierre. I prefer the Towers. :-)
