Can anyone find out what happened to this company? I absolutely love the cheeky (heh) graphic design, slogan, copy, and... yes, even the stripper.
EDIT: Here's a 1985 Los Angeles Times article about Bare Minimum. It appears that they were a Southern California-based company started by two women who later ran the business alongside a children's birthday party hosting company... in the same office!
Hiring a stripper from Bare Minimum (male or female, your choice) cost $75 (adjusted for inflation, that's roughly $170 USD today), and the strippers themselves were often otherwise-unemployed actors and actresses, even schoolteachers. The whole shebang (sorry) often involved an elaborate setup in which the stripper would first disguise him or herself as a legitimate professional and then – SURPRISE! – she's a stripper. Aw yeah, party like it's 1985, boys and girls.

You know how I know it's the 80s? The height of that g-string on the hips. That's Jazzercise level arch.
