Update April 20, 2011 - While the Lusty Lady closed its doors June 27, 2010, the marquee, whose last sign read "Lusty Later", was acquired by Seattle's Museum of History and Industry (MOHAI) where it will be housed along with other Seattle icons such as the running Rainier Bottle, the pink Lincoln Towing Toe Truck and the hydroplane Slo Mo Shun IV.
Downtown Seattle will be a little less punny with the pending closure of the Lusty Lady peep show and their always entertaining marquee. (The opposite side reads: Clash of the Tight Buns.) Dwarfed, by new high rise (and high priced!) condos, and located across the street from the Seattle Art Museum, the now out of place Seattle landmark will shutter its doors in June. A victim of a poor economy, and a product readily available on the internet, the 24 hour live dancing, 365 days a year will end after 27 years. What will amuse the Hammering Man, seen in the background, and those many folks who pass by the 1st Avenue landmark each day?

I saw a comment on a message board somewhere saying that a Lusty Lady coffee table book would be perfect. I agree! A Facebook page should be created to gather photos? What do you think?
