Tips, feedback, questions, & submissions:
I love the TomKat marquee, makes me wish I was gay.
I don’t think I’ll ever see another one as good as “Vaseline Alley”. sigh
If nobody came to those events (journalists, photographers, stupid fans) then Tomkat would be forced to stay home.
The last of the classic Pussycat Theatre chain still in operation, I believe. Does anyone know of any other remnants of that once mighty purveyor of smut?
My favorite one was “Saving Ryans Privates” Vasaline Alley is the name of the alley south of santa monica blvd, A friend from weho told me about this and i thought it was the funniest thing ever.
I’ve seen Ryan’s privates, and trust me, they’re not worth saving.
Sorry, but you’re all beat.
