    a store going out of business -- there should be several any day now
    I loved going to strip clubs; I actually made some friends there. Now things are different for the clubs and for me. As a result I am not as happy.

    Customers are not entitled to grope, disrespect, or rob strippers. This is their job, not their hobby, and they all need income. Clubs are not just some erotic show for guys to view while drinking.

    I don't know where you could sell real people online -- I don't think eBay would do that yet.

    I think real people wearing the merchandise might look better... as a customer I like to see how the stuff fits on a real body
