How does this organization raise money to fight AIDS? Nude Dancing
In the June 16, 2002 production of "Broadway Bares XII: A Comic Strip," 167 of Broadway's finest dancers "celebrated the themes and characters of comic books as costumes ranging from capes and spandex to thongs and pasties were stripped off some of the best bodies in show business . . . [this production] will probably be the only show ever where one could witness the aerial artistry of the world's first openly gay superhero group, "The Rainbow Guard", take in Olive Oyl in drag leading a chorus of randy sailor boys to "In The Navy" and watch 3 Cat Woman reveal the leather fantasies of Josie and the Pussycats . . . The event once again concluded with the dancers lining the stage for "Rotation" where they go-go danced for tips and greeted the audience."
