PIX: Nudie-revue star Angelica Bridges gives Holly Madison a run for her PR money

"Peepshow" topless star Holly Madison has been the go-to girl on Strip red carpets for more than a year. She's always everywhere, and she's generous with her time in promoting whatever event she's at, even if it's another hotel's show.

That has helped her shore up a great amount of good publicity and good will for her, for Vegas and for "Peepshow."

But "Fantasy" nudie revue show star Angelica Bridges is giving Holly a run for her money, lately. I keep seeing Angelica everywhere, from the opening of Frank Marino's "Divas Las Vegas" show to the first-year anniversary party of Terry Fator at the Mirage, and much more. Angelica is similarly gracious and kind (even quite humble) to press and strangers -- and Holly wasn't at either of those (relatively low-key) events.

Now here's Angelica reading to kids at MJ Christensen Elementary School in Summerlin on Friday. This is what we call a meta story -- the story is more about the publicity Holly and Angelica are generating because they're pretty and nice, than it is about the quality of their shows.

But the Strip is a meta place, where perceptions equal reality, sort of. And the reality today is that Angelica Bridges is again workin' it, for herself, her show at the Luxor, the Strip, and for a little while, kids. If she continues to be everpresent and personable with the media powers-that-be on the Strip, expect her star to rise, and to see more ink and photos of her in the coming months.

Why must there be an "either/or"? I think having two beautiful women giving of their time (no matter what the reason) is a good thing.

Angelica is truly just as beautiful on the inside as what you see on stage or in a classroom. Yes, it IS about publicity but her heart is also there. IMO
