Storyline : High-strung, statuesque Nomi Mallone is determined to be a dancer in Las Vegas, whatever it takes--but she starts out as a stripper. Through her seamstress roommate , Nomi catches the attention of the voracious bisexual Cristal, star of an extravagant pagan sex show called "Goddess" which plays nightly at the swanky Stardust Casino. Through Cristal's influence, Nomi gets a chance to audition for "Goddess" and is soon involved in all sorts of sordid backstage goings-on, including bitchy dueling with Cristal over Stardust head honcho Zack . Maligned by many critics upon its original release, SHOWGIRLS has since become a true camp classic, revived for midnight showings and beloved for its decadence, high nudity yield, and outrageously catty dialogue . Its director is Paul Verhoeven , so one can safely assume SHOWGIRLS' over-the-top hostility and sexuality is meant to be a satire of American culture.{full_page}
