 The puritans were fun! I knew a woman who worked at a costume shop that
was aimed at strippers. Her specialty was merkins. In the Boston Combat
Zone full nudity was illegal but simulation was not. fwiw, the owner of
the business was a trannie. For better or worse that's all gone now.

 The Zone wasn't a destination for me but I traversed it on my way to
Chinatown for a mooncake fix. I miss that a bit. Where else can you see
wind cured chickens hanging in shop windows along with less easily
identified treats?

   Freaks and trannies CAN be good fun. John Waters
   made great flix around them.
   However they aren't "more equal".
