Recommendation: Showgirls
By UNCOOLKIDS on Friday, October 14th, 2005
There are few guilty pleasures in life better than watching Showgirls, the classic story of a crazy stripper/hooker (played by Jessie from Saved by the Bell) trying to make it in the seedy Vegas underbelly. It’s one of the best awful movies ever. You can’t go wrong with this dialog:
Molly Abrams: Where are you from?
Nomi Malone: Back East.
Molly Abrams: From where back East?
Nomi Malone: Different places!
and
Cristal Connors: Where do you dance at, darlin’?
Nomi Malone: Um… at the Cheetah.
Cristal Connors: I don’t know how good you are, darlin’, and I don’t know what it is you’re good at, but if it’s at the Cheetah, it’s not dancing, I know that much.
Nomi Malone: You don’t know shit!
So what would make it even better? Did you say sock puppets? Well aren’t you in luck, cause for the rest of the month the Ace of Clubs Theatre (9 Great Jones and Lafayette inside Acme) presents Harvey Finklestein’s Sock Puppet Showgirls.

That’s right, your favorite scenes have been recreated for you to experience live through the magic of sock puppets. Seriously. How can you NOT go to this?
Tickets are $15:
