S.F. strip club's hefty lady show sparks tempest
Where else but San Francisco could a flap about the heft of the nude dancers at a peep show wind up as a union grievance? That's just what's happened over at North Beach's Lusty Lady, the town's only employee-owned, employee-run, fully unionized flesh arcade.

“Someone booked an entire night of "BBW" entertainment -- big, beautiful women -- and the clientele reacted by walking out...”
Like a lot of San Francisco businesses, the Lusty Lady prides itself on diversity, offering up dancers in a variety of sizes, shapes, ethnicities, attitudes and tattoos. But like a lot of North Beach clubs, business at the Lusty -- while steady -- isn't what it was a few years back during the dot-com years, so every customer and dollar counts. That's why it was such a big deal in July, when someone booked an entire night of "BBW" entertainment -- big, beautiful women -- and the clientele reacted by walking out.

The counterman wrote up the customers' objections -- "I came for fantasies, not nightmares" being one of the more printable ones -- and sent them off in what he thought was a confidential e-mail to the club's board of directors.
