Dirty Martini Appearing At New York Harvard Club
[From article]
Elite members of the venerable Harvard Club of New York were spooked when curvaceous burlesque star Dirty Martini posed naked on a chaise lounge at their Halloween party — violating the club’s strict no-nudity rule.
The international burlesque sensation reclined provocatively on a couch, seductively sipping a cocktail, as artist Skye Ferrante created a sculpture of her famous curves in wire before guests Friday at the HCNY Foundation’s Halloween Masquerade Ball.
Some well-dressed guests complained about the voluptuous display, and the pinup — known for acts including a famed balloon striptease — was ordered to cover up with a cheap vampire cape and place pasties over her nipples.
Blond bombshell Dirty was told, “This is the first time there has ever been nudity in the history of the Harvard Club, founded in 1865, and definitely the last,” according to a source, adding, “Members complained about seeing Martini’s naked body, so organizers threw a cape over her, and insisted she wear pasties as ‘nipples are not for the Harvard Club.’ ”

Dirty said, “You’d think a high-class place like the Harvard Club would be used to nude modeling. Most people were polite, but even international burlesque sensations have trouble with nudity from time to time. They made me cover up with a dime-store vampire cape. Even with a degree from Harvard, it’s odd that they are not used to seeing a naked woman. It is about innocence and beauty rather than something tawdry.”
