Bar Girls: Dancing
built 500 days ago
Over the following months Bar Girls 101 will cover a few of the myths that have sprung up concerning these wonders of female engineering. Gleaning these facts has been a labor of love for the author, made all the harder by the fact that most of the myths arise from the mouths of the bargirls themselves.

The premise behind Bar Girls was decent enough: why not make a film that honestly and openly portrays lesbians. And the premise behind its marketing campaign seemed solid: why not try to reach both gay and straight audiences?

Writer/producer Lauran Hoffman stated that the impetus behind Bar Girls was a desire to make a film showing the lives of real lesbians, and to expunge a certain Hollywood-generated image involving an ice pick. It's therefore somewhat ironic that in attempting to create this honest, true-to-life portrait, Bar Girls has resorted to all sorts of traditional formulas and stereotypes. The film takes an assortment of caricatures and throws them together into a comic, melodramatic mix that only occasionally works.

Bar Girls was early vindication of the new approach and has proved that an unconventional story can be successful both cinematographically and financially. Having cost US$78,000 to make, it has already grossed several times that.

The pictures of the private striptease purportedly by dance bar girls of Mumbai appeared on the Net some time in mid-July. It was then called the Chandigarh MMS clip, and the girls in the video were dancing to the tune of Dum Maro Dum. The August 18 story of Mid Day carries captures from this video clip. (In the video, you could make out turbaned sardars in the background watching the dance)

Candy Bar owner, Kim Lucas, a 44 year-old business entrepreneur, originally from New Zealand is the most prestigious lesbian club promoter in the UK if not beyond. QX magazine aptly cited her as the Queen of Soho, and DIVA Magazine went so far as to nominate her ‘Scene Queen of the Century’ in their Millennium issue. Further still its huge readership voted her Woman Of The Year in their first ever DIVA Awards for lesbian excellence in 2002. She is a true pioneer. Her reign has been a long and colourful one spanning over three decades where gay lifestyle and the gay social Scene has risen up from the underground and demanded mainstream acceptance with escalating confidence.
