Even aging
strippers need a
place to retire

BALTIMORE (UPI) -
Stripteasers, go-go girls and
other exotic performers
need a place to retire just
like anyone else.

With that in mind, the

owner of the Two O'Clock
Club wants to convert the
faltering town of Navajo,
Ariz., into a_ retirement
haven for aging bumpers and
grinders who are ready to

“We feel the girls suffer a
lot of social abuses while
they work,” he said. “They
have trouble getting credit,
have to live like nomads and
are otherwise treated like
second-class citizens. This
would give them a place to
live in peace. They wouldn't
be ostracized.”

Suhomlin said a number of
aging strippers and go-go

hang up their G-strings.

Elena Suhomlin, who
bought the X-rated club two
years ago from well-known
stripper Blaze Star, said
recently Navajo would be
the perfect retirement spot
for such performers.

‘Tm very serious about
this,” said Suhomlin, a
Russian immigrant who has
headed West to consult in
person with the town's of-
ficials.

Suhomlin read about
Navajo being for sale

in a Washington
newspaper. Within hours,
she sent a _ telegram to
Frances Greer, whose family
owns the town, asking for a
price on the community.

Harry Van Valin, general
manager of the Two O'Clock
Club, agrees with Suhomlin
that strippers and those in
similar pursuits are discrimi-
nated against by society, and
need a place to seek refuge
in later years.

girls have voiced interest in
her proposal, adding, “There
would be a big demand for
this. I could provide them
with a place to stay — and
make a little money.”

Navajo is a 7.5-acre town
blessed with the “best
weather in Arizona,” Greer
said in the article. “The
water is the best I’ve ever
tasted.”

The town has a 27-unit

motel, service station, cafe, -

trailer park, and grocery
store, all of which Suhomlin
says would be ideal for her
plans.

The town currently is the
mailing address for 14
families, most of whom live
outside town limits.

Suhomlin said she hopes
her attorney, Fred Colodner,
can negotiate around the
asking price of $657,000.

If someone does not buy
Navajo, it will go on the
auction block next month.
