At Allan Katz, there is a sculpture of two voluptuous nude women, one fondling the other’s breast, smoothly carved from a solid block of mahogany. This comical, curiously erotic fusion of autodidactic craft and neo-Classical style is believed to have been created by an unknown artisan about 1920 for a Buffalo sex cult.1920. Buffalo. SEX CULT.
Think of the possibilities: Farce, murder mystery, morality tale, amorality tale...against a backdrop of snow and Niagara Falls.
The mind boggles.

The old song is "Buffalo Girls won't you come out tonight." These girls were prostitutes!
1920 Buffalo and SEX CULT go together.
'Fraid not. The song is "Buffalo GALS" (also New York City Gals, etc., depending on where it was performed), dates from 1844 and has nothing to do with prostitutes. See Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffalo_Gals
