Bring Out the Strippers!
Woman in the Middle | April 24, 2015I was poking around on the computer and clicked on the CNN site. An article immediately caught my eye: “China’s funeral strippers told to cover up.” What? Funeral strippers??? I had to check out that article!
It seems there is a modern tradition in some rural areas of China of hiring strippers to perform at funerals. The reason is to attract more mourners to the event, which is believed to bring good fortune to the deceased in the afterlife. Sometimes multiple strippers are hired, and some even perform with snakes! Both adults and children watch the show as clothing comes off in honor of the deceased. One county in a province known for enjoying a good funeral stripper has a dozen funeral stripper groups, charging an average of $322 per performance.
And here I told my kids I wanted a dessert bar at my funeral. Shucks, maybe I need to tell them about the strippers….
That sounds all right as long as they are MALE strippers!
Ha ha!!! Sound good to me!
Bloody hell strippers at a funeral
Kind of what I was thinking!
