Chippendales

It’s rainin’ men tonight at the Voodoo Lounge as the Chippendales dancers, shirtless men who nonetheless wear bow ties in order to make the best possible first impression, strut their man-stuff for screaming throngs of women and men driven to paroxysms of sexual excitement at the sight of really well-groomed dudes ripping off their breakaway pants.

Founded in the early 1980s, the history of the Chippendales clubs was marked by lawsuits, racketeering charges and the arrest, incarceration and suicide of founder Somen “Steve” Banerjee. But tonight, it’s rainin’ men! Hallelujah.
