The Twilight of the Ostrich-Plumed, Rhinestone-Brassiered Las Vegas Showgirl

New York Times: "PAULA ALLEN radiates the kind of sweetness one might associate with an unusually content librarian in some wholesome precinct of the heartland. But Ms. Allen, blond, leggy and 32, is a showgirl in Sin City. She is a principal dancer in Donn Arden’s “Jubilee!” at Bally’s, arguably the last true showgirl show in Las Vegas, which celebrated its 25th anniversary two weeks ago. This position, officially speaking, makes Ms. Allen a symbol of the city, a figure of living history. Feathered, rouged, high-heeled, headdressed, rhinestone-brassiered history."
