Quark's Walk on the Wild Side - Bruce Jenner Would Be Proud

Bruce Jenner captured the world's attention with his highly personal revelation about wanting to become a woman.  Who could have thought that in the colorful Kardashian clan, Jenner would end up standing out more than the others?  Gender reassignment is a highly complex and emotional issue, but as Jenner's comprehensive interview with Diane Sawyer clearly showed us, there's always room for humor.  Yes, comedy is always an effective healing force.

On Deep Space Nine, the mirthful laughter came many times from Quark (Armin Shimmerman) the Ferengi barkeep.  His many run ins with Constable Odo are legendary, and chuckle filled, but then there was the time Quark dressed up....

See for yourself.

Quark wasn't interested in becoming the fair sex permanently, but he did cut an interesting figure as a woman.  Sexy?  Maybe not, but he was certainly alluring - well, for a Ferengi anyway!

Deep Space Nine Sexy Spotlight - Dabo Girls

Quark's bar catered to the weary space traveler by offering them a host of exotic eats, drinks and entertainment.  One of the riskier kinds of play - to the wallet anyway - was playing Dabo.  This high stakes gambling activity took away many a player's gold pressed latinum.  While playing Dabo, you are treated to the professional services of the Dabo girl - a beautiful server who encourages you to play.

Dabo girls are basically a cross between a cocktail waitress and a geisha girl.  Leeta - played by actress Chase Masterson - joined up at Quark's as a Dabo girl and ended up marrying the owner's brother, the Ferengi Rom.
