    Oh yeah. She seemed very cool, and very clean (for anyplace, not just clean for Vegas).

    What was the show that was on for about 20 minutes on some random network about a Pawn Shop run by 2 women in some suburb of Chicago (Naperville, I think?). Horrible show, but seemed less scripted - which is probably why it was boring and didn't last.

    One of the women had both the most obvious, and most glorious, boob job I've seen in a while.

    I grew up working in my father's pawn shop and we never saw items like those on the show. Most of our items were jewelry and electronics.

    Our best customers were the drinkers and the gamblers because they would pawn the same items over and over again.

    I remember in some of the early episodes that there were actual pawn deals. One guy pawned his big rig. But the producers probably figured that was too difficult for average viewers to understand.

    We visited the pawn shop last time we were in Vegas and it was very cool. I'd like to go back because they kicked us out after about 15 minutes. When I asked one of the clerks why he they were getting ready to film an episode. He also said that Rick, Corey, Chum and the Old Man were never on the showroom floor unless they were filming and the "customers" were actually actors.

    We had to stand in line for about 10-15 minutes to get in because so many people were there but if I remember correctly they had a hose with a mist blowing water out to cool people down. Like I said, I'd like to go back and check out some of their cooler stuff. My wife saw a ring she liked and I bought a Chumlee T-shirt -- help with his drug habit, no doubt.

    I think BWIP is referencing Pawn Queens. I think hardcore pawn is in Detroit.

    Yes, Pawn Queens, on the TLC channel. Naperville Jewelry and Loan, and apparently still in business and still run by the same people, a pair of husbands and wives.

    Show only lasted 10 episodes, and from what I remember, was pretty horrid.
