Strippers Pitch In Tips To Bring Christmas Joy to Children in Need

Twenty women took off their clothes on Wednesday to make the world a better place.

And one of them did an X-rated dance in stiletto heels with a giant stuffed dog, because it was the right thing to do for the children of San Francisco.

"I'm a good person, even though I don't wear very much to work,'' said Debbie Licious, the woman who danced with the dog. "I'm a dancer. I don't need to wear a business suit to do the right thing.''

Debbie Licious may not be her real name, she said, but the $10 bills that customers kept poking into her various garment straps were very much genuine. She and her caring colleagues at the Gold Club on Howard Street were turning over the proceeds of their lap dances to benefit the San Francisco Fire Department's annual charity toy drive.

The strip club manager said the dancers' combined efforts were expected to total $15,000. Most of it was coming from $10s and $20s slipped into various crevices.

On stage, the dancers gyrated around a tall metal pole that may have looked like a fire pole but was being used in ways that firefighters do not use poles.

"That seems like very good exercise,'' said firefighter Bob Lopez, while Collette the dancer was ripping off her Santa suit, wrapping her legs around the pole and wiggling like a Tickle Me Elmo after being tickled. No fires were extinguished by her efforts, but some may have been set.

The giant stuffed dog was a big hit all night. Debbie Licious said she had bought the toy on Tuesday with her own money and that, after its services on stage were no longer required, it would be donated to a lucky boy or girl. The dog's giant pink tongue was hanging out, but Debbie Licious said that's just the way the dog came from the toy factory and had nothing to do with being her very enthusiastic dance partner.

"He's a great dog,'' she said. "Tonight, he's going to help me sniff out some donations. And then he's going to brighten somebody's Christmas.''
