Fantasy showgirls shed inhibitions — and skimpy costumes — for new 2009 calendar

By Robin Leach

Backstage secrets of the topless Fantasy adult revue will be revealed when the new super-sexy 2009 calendar is released tonight – and as you would expect, Luxe Life has the advance peek at all the fabulous photos. I’m the first to tell you that a perfect picture of pulchritude is worth 1,000 words -- so I’ll be brief deliberately so you get to enjoy more art than ink!

Anita Mann and the Fantasy girls

The luscious leggy ladies start tonight with a 6:30 p.m. private cocktail reception at the mezzanine level Fusia restaurant and then present a special 7:15 p.m. performance of their show. Producer Anita Mann and top choreographer Criss Judd -- once married to J-Lo -- have created brand new dances to kick off their new run. After the 90 minutes of topless dance numbers the princesses of pulchritude will host their calendar launch unveiling back at Fusia. Nobody gets to see the actual final calendar until that very moment but our Luxe Life photos give you a pretty good advance idea of the seductive sexcitement that awaits!

Last year’s Fantasy poolside calendar, which was pretty steamy and sexy in its own right, sold more than 50,000 copies. I’m betting that the new one, which fashion photographer Jerry Metellus shot entirely behind-the-scenes at the girls’ Luxor theater, will be an even bigger success. All eyes, however will be on the 12 beauties and not the secrets shown in their dressing rooms, their makeup and costume rooms, or in the peek-a-boo temptations on stage and in the backstage scenery and rigging.

Led by host-singer Stephanie Jordan, the team of temptresses included Lindsay, CeCe, Dee, Dar, Amber, Salina, Tara, Jaylene, Jennifer, Ann, Natasha, Season and Tracey -- all in erotic exotic poses in various stages of undress. Jerry and Fantasy producer Anita Mann let our Luxe Life camera-ace Scott Doctor shoot our exclusive coverage -- and there’s no denying Jerry has created the ultimate hot layouts for a smash hit best seller. He shot for two full 12-hour days capturing thousands of photos.

Then in July they were edited down to the final 12 monthly pinups and the cover pages, which were printed early last month.

Luxor president Felix Rappaport, who I persuaded to pose with his showgirls, told me: “We are so pleased that Fantasy calls the Luxor home. They have become a key and integral part of our entertainment family. This year we’re going to add additional Fantasy merchandise, including their own playing cards, which will be available for fans to buy. Everybody loves the Fantasy girls and they are here for a long time to come. They are the best topless revue dancers in town!”
