The no-pants subway ride people really need to step up their game; photographer Zach Hyman is making them look downright demure, by riding the subway with a young woman who takes it all off, for free. (Not including the $2.25 cost of a subway ride.) Commuters don't even have to get bottle service or stuff a dollar in her G-string, because she's not even wearing one. In June Hyman took some shots on the L train as 19-year-old actress Jocelyn Saldana stripped down to her birthday suit; the 30-second gimmick landed Hyman a nice feature in the Post today, which happens to coincide with his show opening at a West Village gallery. According to the article, most straphangers were "blasé. But one woman started screaming and an elderly man next to her got the shakes." Hyman's series of nudes in public only feature women because, as he explains, "photographing females in public is easier than males. People see a naked woman and they smile. They see a penis and they freak out." Honey, ain't that the truth. We've provided a closer SFWish look at the "striphanger" below...
Full Frontal Peep Show For L Train Riders
Subway Strip Club Owner May Have To Pay $100K To Corporate
All he wanted to do was bring grinders and grinding together under one roof. But it seems that Anthony "Cousin Vinny" Agnello's inspired idea to turn a former Subway sandwich spot into a hybrid Gentleman's Sub Club was just too visionary for these litigious times, and now he's probably ruined. You'll recall that last summer Agnello sparked outrage from the local community for opening up the "all-nude private club 'Cousin Vinny's Little Secret'" in a disenfranchised Subway on East Tremont Avenue in the Bronx. The Subway fast food chain was also rubbed the wrong way, because Agnello was still using Subway brand wrappers and menus for the venture, which served sandwiches by day and lap dances by night. Now a federal magistrate has recommended that Agnello pay the fast-food giant's corporate parent $90,000, plus another $7,900 for its legal fees. Which leaves Agnello no choice but to make the entire payment in crumpled singles.
Notorious Scores Strip Club Grinds to a Halt
The east side Scores will pick up its crumpled dollar bills and jiggle into history by the end of the year, the Daily News reports. It's not quite clear if this means the entire Scores chain, which includes clubs outside of New York, is going down, but a lawyer for the owners says, "It's over; it is what it is."
Subway Strip Club Owner in Bronx Ordered to Pay Up
One Bronx man’s entrepreneurial dream of bringing subs and strippers together under one roof has finally been crushed by a federal judge. It wasn’t the timeless “sandwiches and lapdances” concept that got owner Anthony "Cousin Vinny" Agnello in trouble, but rather his appropriation of Subway brand wrappers and menus for his hybrid venture on East Tremont Avenue, which he described in a flier published by Gawker in May:
During the day, it is an extraordinary 'Subway-style submarine sandwich shop' offering the highest-quality meats along with the freshly baked bread that you would expect from the offspring of a longtime Subway Restaurant. In fact this was a Subway franchise up until May 2008 when we were disenfranchised due to politics and differences of opinion as far as marketing is concerned.At 10 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday, this seemingly harmless sub shop becomes the wildly exotic and explicit, all-nude private club 'Cousin Vinny's Little Secret.'But when the local community board, police and Subway came down on Agnello (who has run a notorious stripper agency for years), he quickly backpedaled and apologized, claiming it was all just a publicity stunt. The judge didn’t buy it, and, according to the Post, Agnello now has to pay Subway’s legal fees and stop using their trademarked goods, which he took with him after being evicted from the old Subway shop he subleased.
