The “Desperate Housewives” star is closing her restaurant Beso and nightclub Eve in Las Vegas and reopening the space as a haven for the ladies, complete with small plates and a catwalk for fashion shows.

That’s the beauty of capitalism in America, she is free to waste her money any way she wants!

Good. I think we should encourage more of this.

It took me forever to find a barber with a "no chicks allowed" policy and I love that experience.

We can smoke, cuss, look at decades of Playboy magazines, belch, fart, make tasteless jokes about women and generally enjoy ourselves in there.

One woman wandering into the joint unobstructed would ruin the whole experience.

Sometimes, the jokes just write themselves.

Will this breastaurant close every twenty eight days for cramps?

One is forced to wonder if women actually eat that much steak; this could easily become a formula for bankruptcy.

I hope she succeeds. If her restaurant model works she has plowed new ground in dining establishments. Bless her for that and bless American capitalism!

All this idiot has to do is do ads for an existing steakhouse and I won’t eat there.

Her mind is tiffany twisted, she wants steak without men,
She's gotta lotta pretty boys she calls friends,
How they dance in main-room sweet summer sun,
Some dance for rare cuts, some dance for well done...

God bless the free market. I’m only guessing that the steak-oriented menu isn’t going to make it in a demographic that likes fashion runways and watching its waistlines, but what the hell do I know? If she succeeds, more power to her.

Actually, I have suspect that she might have something there.

Her idea is that a lot of women are extremely self conscious about having a hearty dinner around men, because they have been taught that men will think of them as “bloat hogs” if they see them eating steak or even a hamburger, not just a small salad with a sprinkling of vinegar on it.

Of course, the vast majority of men wouldn’t think such a thing, unless a woman was really gorging herself, but that would not reduce women’s apprehension one bit. It is self inflicted.

But think of how many girls and women have anorexia and bulimia. So there is some psychology at work here.

Which kind of makes me wonder if the restroom in the restaurant will have a vomitorium area.

It makes more sense than a salad bar for guys.

At the risk of sounding sexist, just who is going to pay for the meals in an all-woman restaurant? Most women are accustomed to being treated in restaurants. Also, they are notorious bad tippers.

Sorry ladies but I had to say it!

Yeh. I’ve been in certain restaurants catering mostly to a guy demographic that feature runways. It could work, but unless she’s going to hire male strippers the pole dance thing is probably out...

Now thats hilarious! Cows eating steaks!

Hey, reminds me of a Far Side Comic t-shirt I once owned. A cow is eating a burger and other cows are watching her, in TOTAL dismay and disgust! Caption reads: "You`re SICK Bessie, sick, sick, sick!"

Below that is Bessie with the caption: "Tastes just like chicken."

One has to wonder if the place will really be welcoming to the severely butch, male-looking lesbians. Nobody will care about the food, in an all-women restaurant nobody’s going to be eating there anyway.

A steakhouse?

I’m kind of surprised it’s not a hot dog stand.
