Everything s jolly at Lollipops
By Jeff Knaysi

I couldn't
believe the
editor down
at the Emer
ald wanted
me to do a
story on Lol
lipops. Yes,
Lollipops.
The same
palace of perversion that was
featured on Donahue, Hard
Copy. Sally Jessy Raphael and
Current Affair The same den of
diM adence that was highlighted
on Inside Edition, fenny fanes.
Hush fJrnhaugh, and mentioned
in News week and on Arserno.
I was hoping for something
more fun and loss sordid, like
reviewing Gallagher's concert
film Melon Craty Alas, 1 grudg
ingly accepted the task There
are naked people at Lollipops,
and I was going to f>o paid, by
the column inch, to get up close
and personal with them. Naked
people bring out the journalis
tic integrity in me
A friend and 1 debated
whether I should be clothed
during the interview, and decid
ed that I should be. There was
probably some professional rule
somew here made up by some
one uptight. When we entered
Lollipops, the doorman knew
right away who 1 was when he
saw my Trapper Keeper and let
us in for free
Everyone else has to pay a
couple of dollars to get in. and
then has to buy. like, $5 worth
of Snapple Because it was
Thursday, there weren't many
people there They were scat
tered around the room, some sit
ting as i lose to the stage as they
could legally get, the more Iwish
ful ones at the table near the
back
The first thing you notice
aliout Lollipops, besides the
stage, is the bar. It is large and
well lit, and is where many of
the dancers congregate when
they are waiting to go onstage.
They also hang around the deo
jay in the comer, who plays rcx.k
songs really loud and constantly
reminds patrons that the case of
soda they were forced to buy as
admission wasn't enough. They
are also supposed to tip every
girl at least a dollar.
Anyway, the bar is stocked
with Minute Maid and other
juices, coffee, soda und non
alcoholic boor, in bottles and on
tap. There are mildly erotic pic
tures hanging on some of the
walls, and mirrors covering the
others. There are disco lights
above the stage, a jukebox in the
corner and two pool tables in
the back for customers who have
been there for so long that they
have actually lost interest.
Of course, no strip bar would
