Pop Culture - Stripped From Power: Koleen Brooks
April 30, 2005
Georgetown CO USA
In the dirty game of politics, former stripper Koleen Brooks was a breath of fresh air. Koleen ran a spirited campaign for mayor that included cruising on the back of a Harley to rally voters, and she won office in Georgetown, Colorado (a sleepy little mountain town 45 miles outside Denver). But like many politicians, controversy dogged her, and ultimately a controversial zoning change Koleen supported led to her downfall and ouster. Koleen has vowed to run again, but in the meantime you can see what the lucky patrons of the strip club Shotgun Willie's enjoyed for years: Koleen wearing nothing but a magnificent mayoral smile.
