Tuesday, June 19, 2007 – California Girls

Ah, the Sunset Strip, where young women can indulge those whims and be what they dream.  And there are these dreams in the windows of Hustler Hollywood, across the street from the Whisky. The glass adds the necessary California ambiance.

And the kiss above is new. It's a billboard for a different dream –

Oxygen TV is debuting a show that martial arts fighting fans will likely enjoy much more than Final Fu - Fight Girls.

Fight Girls chronicles the training and lives of seven female Muay Thai fighters training with the famous Master Toddy of Las Vegas. They are competing for 3 spots that will get them a trip to Thailand to fight for a Muay Thai world title.

Fight Girls will premiere Monday August 7th at 9:00 pm eastern US time on the Oxygen network. For more information, visit the show's official site.

Whatever.  "Oxygen TV" is the cable network that's all about empowering women.

But no one told this fetching lass above the Whisky about the damned pigeons.

Ah, traditional values – opposite the kiss is the wall advertising the HBO series "Big Love" – the show about polygamy.
