...showgirl," she told an Italian newspaper. "I am interested in politics, too ... I'd rather be a candidate for the Chamber of Parliament. Papi Silvio would take care of that." Last year, Berlusconi formalized the politics-showgirls link, appointing Mara Carfagna, 32, a former velina and topless model, as his Minister for Equal Opportunities. This summer his party nominated four young starlets as candidates for the European parliamentary elections. "The idea was to make the party younger," says Elisa Alloro, a 33-year-old television presenter who was initially proposed as a candidate, and is the author of We, Silvio...
Those pasties—stickers carefully placed over a topless woman’s nipples during some types of performances, typically burlesque—would not be the last to come through that theater space this year. On December 4, the Boston Babydolls will fill the space with “V for Vixen,” a U.S.O.-style burlesque tribute to the nation’s armed forces, and talks are in the works of bringing more of the art form to the space on Arrow Street...
Despite persistent urban legends, Sales never did blue material for the kids - though his staff did play a prank in which a topless balloon artiste danced to "The Stripper" while the on-set monitor indicated that the career-ending nudity was live on the air.

Atkins, a Los Angeles native, was 15 when her mother died; soon afterward, she left home to become a topless dancer in San Francisco. In the hippie mecca of Haight-Ashbury she met cult leader Charles Manson, who seduced her and his other young followers into believing that he was the second coming of Christ--and that the way to bring about a new social order was to commit mass murder and frame...
Prudish? Moi? Re your article "Postcard: Paris" I suspect that there is a more sinister reason for young French women's reluctance to bare their flesh [Aug. 10]. In the 1970s and 1980s, going topless was a way for women to express their liberation and equality with men. Women's shape and size did not matter. Nowadays, young girls are expected to be liberated, clever, independent and physically perfect. By refusing to unveil their bodies they are rebelling against unrealistic expectations in the same way as their mothers did by burning their bras. Shame on you, South Africa! Anne Favier...
