Busking lap dancer gyrates on Metro-Pole

[Saint Cornelius]

A pretty pole-dancer is giving a new twist to busking and brightening up late-night journeys for commuters on Milan’s underground trains.

The girl, in her twenties and made up to resemble a cat, boards trains wearing a long black overcoat and carrying a portable stereo. When the doors close she throws off her coat and dances to the stereo in a black latex girdle with red silk ribbons, black fishnet stockings with pink ribbons around her thighs, black boots to just above the knee and shiny, black, fingerless gloves.

After a bump-and-grind routine using the carriage’s grab handles and vertical poles as props, she takes a collection and leaves the train.

Michela Proietti, a journalist, saw her when she was on her way home last Monday. She wrote in the daily Corriere Della Sera: “I was on the platform at the Porta Genova stationbetween 11.30 and midnight,” said Proietti. “She was very good looking and she had cat’s ears made of cloth.”

The girl danced for two stops and at one point she sat on a young woman’s lap, who thought it was all very funny. “All the passengers seemed to enjoy the show. It was not at all vulgar — everyone was smiling and laughing.”

Ms Proietti received an avalanche of e-mails from readers who said they had seen the phantom lap-dancer on different days at different times and on other lines. Most said that it made a welcome change from the beggars and dubious musicians who normally inhabit Milan’s Metropolitana.

London Underground said: “We would frown upon any behaviour that would upset other passengers.”

If this became a staple of public transportation in America, I would sell my car.

No pictures? My experience is usually the person giving "it" away, is the last person you want "it" from.

[Saint Cornelius]

Yeah, that is a scary thing indeed.

I've never had a professional lap dance.

They're interesting. Personally, I think if you're going to spend all that money to let some chick rub up against you while you're fully clothed, you might as get a fucking hooker.

That's what I think. In high school, girls I hung around would give me them at parties and stuff and I'd get a boner (not that they noticed) and then it would be over and I'd be sitting there in a room full of people with a boner.

That's when you play the "jerk off in the beer of some guy you don't like" game.

That's always a fun game....
