Alyssa Alps was vivacious, bubbly, energetic, dynamic and bodacious. She was a young feature dancer from Wisconsin with an old-school style. Alyssa was a true show girl with many costumes and she knew literally everyone in the strip club industry. No porn, no toys, and in fact, she posed for very few pictorials and almost never did video. The video at SCORE Classics is rare and raw. Whenever she featured at Treasure Island, a club in Hialeah not far from the SCORE offices, she would try to visit. One year some staff members went to see her lunch time show and managed to persuade her to shoot for a day. No videos but two pictorials were good enough for us. We would see Alyssa at the AVN Expo and the Exotic Dancer Expo in Las Vegas. As always, she was very dynamic, usually emceeing an evening show. Alyssa joined the last Boob Cruise in 2000 as the writer of the ship's log. She didn't want to model and was firm about it. Several passengers put together a betting pool on when Alyssa Alps would give in and model. She held out until May 5, the last day, when she and a photographer hit the beach. Fittingly, Alyssa's pictorial closed the 164-page Boob Cruise double issue (Holiday '00), an all-time best-selling edition. "Going into Boob Cruise 2000, I had heard so many superlatives about it but I had some skepticism," Alyssa wrote. "'How could anything be that good?' I used to think. Now I know. And I realize that all of the comments I had heard about SCORE's Boob Cruise did not do it justice. It truly is the experience of a lifetime."
