this is a camp classic. the establishment that toulouse-lautrec immortalized is still here, but the artist would probably have a hard time recognizing it. colette created a scandal here by offering an on-stage kiss to mme de morny, but shows today have a harder time shocking audiences. try to get a table -- the view is much better on the main floor than from the bar. what's the theme? ıt's strip routines and the saucy sexiness of la belle epoque, and of permissive paris between the wars. handsome men and girls, girls, girls, virtually all topless, keep the place going. dance finales usually include two dozen of the belles doing a topless cancan. revues begin nightly at 9 and 11pm.
