I lived in Kansas City for three years in the late 1980s while attending grad school. Some of what little spare spending money I had was spent going to the Dove once or twice a month. Until I moved to Kansas City in my mid-20s I’d never seen a go-go dancer, much less a totally nude dancer, live on stage. I was mesmerized the most by the cute girl-next-door types that seemed to be from the Kansas City area.
When I left town in late 1989, the Dove was still alternating adult videos/films for about 90 minutes with a live feature dancer who would go on stage for a little less than half an hour.
Some of the live dancers were well known adult film starlets who would tour around the country. I remember Hyapatia Lee coming through the Dove for a week when she was supposed to be one of the top names in the business. She didn’t impress me much. Half the time for her dance sets was taken up by her husband/manager standing on stage blathering on and on and on about the highlights of her illustrious porn career before she finally started performing.
I seem to remember the postage stamp sized ad for the Dove appearing each Wednesday near the end of the sports section In the Kansas City Star. It would tell who the featured (and normally only) dancer would be for the following Friday-Thursday. Or maybe the ad ran in the Sunday paper for a Tuesday-Saturday engagement. The dancer would do three sets a night. Something like 7:15, 9:00, and 10:35.
The two names I remember very fondly are Trixie Vaughan and (Sybil?) Rush. Any time I saw either name in the ad I would be sure to catch all three sets one night that week. They both did a classy yet sensual set that always left me wanting more. At least one time they appeared together for a week. That might have been the only time I ever went twice in the same week!
