Think you’ve seen it all? Just step inside the California Institute for Abnormal Arts, check out the glass-encased corpse of a clown. Then there’s the mummified arm. But once you’ve had an eyeful of grotesqueries, get your real freak on with the Spangled Burlesque Show held every last Sunday at this unique venue. Beautiful buxom women and abnormalities—that sounds like a perfect combination to us. They say thinking outside the box is healthy, so let the live performances by the scantily-clad, ever-so seductive Rag Dolls help free your mind and open up the visual possibilities. Even the most jaded Angeleno will find something here to catch his or her breath. Don’t say we didn’t warn you. The giant laughing clown at the front gate should have done that. (Michael Carlos)
