    Not what I thought

    I was intrigued by the "Pastie" reference, but according to Google, a pastie is a nipple cover and not, as I had thought, a reference to the shape of other parts of the stripper's anatomy

      Aha, so it has no relation to the time-honoured westcountry practice of pasty-smashing?

      Pronunciation is everything

      Apparently derived from the glue rather than the Cornish delicacy.

      Mind you, it could give rise to a new unit of measurement for the Bulgarian Airbag, the "Ginster"...

      Pronunciation you say?...

      I'll try and get my mouth around it.

    well, as the old saying goes

      Then you're a mile away...

      and you have her knickers?

        on the bits that dangled through the cloth saw.

    What a team!

    "A quick rummage around Google fails to uncover a link for the Crystal Cabaret, but according to a number of really NSFW review sites ..."

    Thank God we've got Team Register to do the heavy lifting on stories like this.

    A very, very, very lot.

      No. No-one remember "Patricia The Stripper"?

    This story is just a bit sad. Not really bootnotes-lol-worthy.

      I agree

      It seemed a bit pants to me.

    The story or the surfing?

    It would be interesting to know whether the story resulted in the surfing or if someone was "researching" pastie clubs (and here was me thinking Devon Savouries) and stumbled upon the story.

    "Honest Mr. Editor, Sir - there's this reeeellllly IT relevant story ..... right here .... it's about, err, Oh hell, you got me. I was just looking for smut."

    Kids

    "She allegedly admitted she'd taken the kids with her as cover, reasoning that they would lower the chances of her being arrested."

    A technique that lots of shoplifters use, according to people I know in "retail". Even if suspicion does fall on you, you can always claim the little dears did it without your knowledge, the little scamps.

      WTF?

      Great camouflage

      "If I bring in this gaggle of kids, nobody will notice!"

      Were this rented kids and didn't she have any of her own? Otherwise she'd known they're the stormtroopers of the Lord of Entropy, and attention magnets like you cannot believe.

    Optional

    There was a sketch by "Scotland the What?" which was a spoof Mastermind show with the specialist subject of "petty crime in Auchterturra between the dates of 19th April & 6th June" (can't remember the exact dates, but it was less than 2 months).

    - What unsolved crime was commited between the dates of May 19th & 20th?

    - Theft of sundry items of womens underwear from clothes lines round the town

    - That's not what I have written here...

    - Knickers being nicked?

    - Correct!

    Child Cruelty?

    Since when has being dragged round the shops been child cruelty?

    She was planning to wear them – briefly presumably

    Unless things have changed then I would presume she'd be wearing them all night. When I worked in Orlando in 84-86 even topless wasn't allowed and the reference to pastie club would indicate things are still the same, sellotape over nipples and knickers on. If anybody is going to the Doll House have a drink for me.

    Not that funny, actually

    If you look at her sad, defeated, tired and prematurely aged face in the mugshot. There's probably grinding poverty, poor life chances and a young woman who doesn't feel particularly in control of her life here.

    I actually found it somewhat depressing, and can't help thinking that she probably deserves help. People who make informed choices usually don't end up like that.

    Sad now. Sorry for the srsface, but it's true.

      Bzzt. Thank you for playing.

      The vast majority of poor people are decent, hard-working and law-abiding.

      Crimes are perpetrated by criminals. Full stop.

    "The children were placed in the care of social services...

    "...and earned Fleischmann a charge on child cruelty"

    Erm, that might have been phrased better!!

    Bit of a shift

    When I was growing up, it was thought that people who left the Midwest went to the East Coast if they were smart, or West Coast if they were dumb. Now it seems the dumb people are going to Florida.

    If I had to hazard a guess, the cold winter weather kills off or re-invigorates bad brain cells. In LA and Florida, the rot just keeps spreading.

    So is a "Burlington Coat" some kind of euphemism for nickers?

    "Slowly she raised her skirt and gave him an eyeful of her Burlington Coats".

    cruel?

    Dragging the kids around a department store is sooooo cruel - perhaps she should have left them out on the street to fend for themselves..

    Nice to see the authorities using the kids as leverage..
