This amazing woman (we don't know her non-stripper-name) was profiled on the popular person-on-the-street profile project Humans Of New York this week, and shared her story of seventies adult dancer stardom under the stage name Tanqueray.

People flipped out over her look, her voice, and her story.

She's a star, again.

My stripper name was Tanqueray. Back in the seventies I was the only black girl making white girl money. I danced in so many mob clubs that I learned Italian. Black girls werent even allowed in some of these places. Nothing but guidos with their pinky rings and the one long fingernail they used for cocaine. I even did a full twenty minutes in the place they filmed Saturday Night Fever. But I made my real money on the road. Three grand on some trips. Every time Fort Dix had their pay day, theyd bring me in as a feature and call me Ms. Black Universe or some shit like that. I had this magic trick where Id put baby bottle tops on my nipples and squirt real milk, then Id pull a cherry out of my G-string and feed it to the guy in the front row.
