Back in the 1990s when I was living in Grand Forks, North Dakota, there was a building that housed Sensations Nightclub, the Down Under Pub, Campus Liquors and several other businesses. In the inside hallway was a pinball machine that one of my friends decided to play one night. After a bad game, she shouted, “Bad Girls sucks your balls!” and something like that is hard to forget.
I randomly happened upon this Bad Girls flyer while scrolling through some eBay listings and, yeah, I had to get it.
Ahh, good memories of Bad Girls.
Bad Girls showed up in 1988 and has a curious connection to Michael Jackson.
Some Gottlieb history.
