Community members are angry after getting an eyeful during a stripper protest at Philadelphia’s Malcolm X Park earlier this week.
As 6ABC in Philly reports, the irate community members and the group Stilettos Inc. don’t see eye-to-eye on the worth of the flesh-exposing labor strike, aimed at COVID-19 restrictions and better working conditions in the city’s gentleman’s clubs.
Stilettos Inc. rejects the criticism and says they plan to hold similar skin-exposing events at the park at 51st and Pine streets in West Philadelphia in the future.
"What we were doing was fundraising, to raise funds for dancers who are not working during COVID," said Bamm Rose, founder of Stilettos Inc.
“Stripping is legal, regardless if we see said stripping poll dancing in the park, all that’s legal. We’re not here to talk about moralities, and we’re here to talk about legalities,” she said.
The broad-daylight Sunday event was held on the opposite end of the park to avoid the playground, 6ABC noted.
