Check out the slideshow.
The young stripper wrapped herself around a chrome pole inside a giant Plexiglas box on the back of a rolling truck.
Heather “Passion” Matson, 21, beckoned drivers and pedestrians on the [Las Vegas] Strip with her skimpy outfit, come-hither smile and suggestive moves that included flipping upside down with legs spread. Even under the Strip’s chaotic neon, the lone pole dancer encased beneath a bright, stagy light drew wide-eyed stares late Tuesday night. Couples stopped, pointed and smiled. Cameras flashed. Carloads of people gave her thumbs-up signs.

The all-nude clubs Déjà Vu Showgirls and Little Darlings began hauling dancers up and down Las Vegas Boulevard a couple weeks ago to lure patrons, whose numbers have dwindled in the recession. […] Commissioner Steve Sisolak said he opposes live entertainment on wheels because he thinks it’s far more distracting to drivers than static images such as billboards mounted on trucks. Although he has received some complaints about the risqué element, he considers that a lesser concern.

Matson said she hopes the mobile stage works as intended. She estimates her income has dropped by 75 percent in the past year.“I used to make $800 a night,” Matson said. “Now I’m down to $200.”
UPDATE: The stripper truck is no more.
Actually what’s more distracting is the new LED lights on top of police vehicles. When there’s rain at night and one of those cars is on the road with the LED’s flashing there is so much distortion of that super bright light bouncing around on the windshield and hood that it becomes incredibly hard to see where you are going. So much for safety measures that are supposed to protect the public.
It would distract me for all of 3 seconds.
Then I would do what I normally do when I see this kind of stuff.
Roll my eyes, exclaim stupid imbeciles and go on my way.
Promotion that could ultimately lead to accidents shows the people that do it have no care for their potential customers.

Gives true meaning now to The Strip! I’d love to hear just what she has to say on that mic…
She has a good grip on the pole. Something needed for mobile work.
uh huh
MOMMY!! I thought you were going to school to be a nurse??
Wow, the economy is so bad we have a pussy glut.
Is that the old pope mobile?
I’d would try one of those lap dances, but over the last ten years I seem to have misplaced a lot of my lap. I’d probably have a coronary anyway. Are you allowed to touch her? Naive old fool here writing. John you get these things?

Yep, we are sure missing out. It really bothers me that other countries laugh at us. What will happen to our cool factor if we don’t have hallmarks of civilization like naked women being exhibited on the streets, preferably performing some sex act. That’s what sophisticated, intelligent people desire.
I am still hoping to see it in 2012. “Pole dancing supporters hope for Olympic status” – Olympics News – FOX Sports on MSN
You know, if more women watched their diet and exercised, strippers would be out of a job.

Treat yourself and try it sometime, especially if you go to Las Vegas. Last time I was there I stopped in at the Girls of Glitter Gulch on Fremont. Having one of the finest young ladies you’ve seen in your life rubbing her private parts on you will provide fuel for fantasy for years to come. Oh and just don’t try and touch the girls. The bouncers in these places are traditionally fast and brutal.
