Brothel workers raise $4,000 for
sick boy by stripping
Prostitutes from the Moonlite Bunnyranch
and Miss Kitty's Cathouse helped raise funds for a sick boy
Wednesday by allowing their T-shirts and lingerie to be
auctioned off their bodies at Kathy's Someplace Else
lounge.
Daniel, who turns 4 years old Feb. 20, has an
inoperable tumor in his brain tha taffects his right
side.
Kelly Barnes, Daniel's single mother, is unable
to work because she spends so much time caring for
him.
"Those girls are just completely awesome," she
said of the women who volunteered to help Daniel. "They danced
their hearts out and just did whatever else they had to
do."
Col. Pete Cerquitella of Arundel Auctions called
out the prices as men and women bid on cutoff T-shirts, lacy
panties and purple teddies.
The fund-raiser netted
about $4,000, although the effort to raise funds continues
with more items being auctioned over the
Internet.
Barnes brought in many of the lingerie items
and raffle prizes donated by about 50 local businesses. There
wasn't enough time to go through the raffle prizes, however,
because the scene got a little chaotic during the women's
performance.
"It got a little risqu�, and I had to stay
pretty well on top of it," said Kathy Aguirre, owner of
Kathy's Someplace Else.
Jones has a cabaret license,
which would have allowed total nudity, but that's not what she
had planned.
"I had asked them to keep G-strings on
and, bless their hearts, they did not come prepared for that,"
she said. "They really worked hard. They just worked in a
different way than I expected. I've always kept it pretty
classy in my bar."
She said she has talked with the
owners of Daddy Dick's and Mo & Sluggo's about possibly
doing a poker run as another fund-raiser for
Daniel.
His mother needs the funds to pay for his
treatment, which is mostly cancer-fighting foods and
vitamins.
"I'm going all organics, no drugs, I've
weaned him off all the drugs he was on," she said. She did
five chemotherapy treatments, but couldn't stand to watch him
get so sick.
YOU CAN HELP:
To help with
Daniel's medical care, tax-deductible donations can be sent to
Angel Kiss Foundation in the name of Daniel Morrison, 150
Ridge St., Suite 3 , Reno NV 89501.
