They all went to the same club -- Chicago's Pump Room -- at one time or another.

And they've all ended up in the same amazing photo book, Icons at the Pump Room -- a promotional item handed to certain lucky VIPs (like my friend Christian Freedom).

If you like this quartet of diva divinity, just pick up a phone and smile just like Faye.

You'll probably get someone at the next table.

Or better yet, check out the whole mess of photos right here.

And for good measure, here's Gypsy Rose Lee, Ann Miller, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Joan and Melissa, and Bette.

I think it's right next to the Elbow Room.

My brothers and Little Moi had a reunion in Chicago, where two of us were born and we ate at "the Pump Room, Ambassador East, to say the least," precisely because of the Judy Garland  interpolation in the song "Chicago."

Bro' Kermit got us Table No. 1 with the phone, where Chicago columnist Irv Kupcinet and his wife Essie held court, and where Frank, Judy and Liza ate  -- and drank.

It was heaven on a biscuit! And the food was good, too!

They all do look fab.  Zaza's tits are up and out.  Who is the guy in 2 of the pics, the proprietor?  I saw a documentary recently about strippers and they were saying Gypsy had a lousy body, wasn't pretty and no talent.  Is that all true?  She kinda reminds me of Ethel Merman in that picture.

Well, at least Gypsy had a gimmick.

Faye's dressed like a low-rent realtor, but Gypsy - as usual - looks like a helluva good time...
