Miss Hooters International contestants
I FOUND IT a little strange that during the same week that Miss Hooters International, Michelle Nunes, hosted the casino’s Teeny Weenie String Bikini contest, the hotel says it wants to market itself as a couples destination. It launched a new ad campaign to convince women that Hooter’s is not just for guys anymore by promoting economical room rates and a casual atmosphere.
The thinking (and we use that term loosely) is that Hooter’s Girls dressed in tank tops and shorts are wholesome by Vegas standards. Any guys who can sell this concept to his significant other should consider a career in media sales.
ANOTHER THING that’ll make you say DUH! The folks who pass out those small fliers for escort services on the Strip have gotten support from a federal judge. Clarke County created an ordinance that would allow police to arrest “slappers” (the nickname they got because they slap the fliers against their hand). Ten years and $100,000 in legal fees later, the judge says the law violates the slappers’ free speech.
NO NEED to send tilapia or babingka to Vegas anymore ... Seafood City on Maryland Parkway (next to the Boulevard Mall) is a Filipino full-service supermarket where they’ll even clean and fry the fish for you.
