Dancers from Rick's Cabaret/New York City will introduce the new
Rick's Basketball Association (the RBA) and their sexy new
uniforms at a press conference on Nov.
1st (at 12 noon, EDT, Rick's Cabaret, 50 West 33rd St.,
New York City). The league's
teams are being assembled at the company's Tootsie's Cabaret in
Miami, Club Onyx in Charlotte, Houston, Dallas and Philadelphia, and Rick's Cabarets and XTC
Cabarets in New York, Houston, Dallas, Minneapolis and Indianapolis.
"We have all been disappointed that the NBA season hasn't gotten
underway yet, and a number of players who stop by the club have
told us that they'd pay to see us play in our stripper heels, so we
decided to form our own league," said Gianna, a player for a
team made up of dancers from the New York
City club. "We plan to play as long as the NBA is locked
down. We'll announce all the details and introduce the Rick's
Cabaret/New York City team at our
press conference on Tuesday and I guarantee you it will be
hot."
"In designing our team's outfit we decided less is more," said
Sky, another member of the New
York team.
