In the latest issue of _Love and Rockets_, Vivan, the fiery latina, is getting married. In the first scene of the story, the bridesmaids are hurriedly gathered together and told they’re short a groomsman, so one of the bridesmaids would have to be cut. The rejected bridesmaid protested “But we stripped to ‘Sisters’ at Cheetah Torpedas! I was Danny Kaye!”

So I used my Google machine and found this was a scene from _White Christmas_. Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye lip-synced the song and did a little dance to it. It was totally ad-libbed and not part of the script, but they kept it in the movie. Now I’m wondering how strippers would perform to this.

I had _no_ idea what it meant until some googling turned up something known as "No Nut November’.
