Brilliant! Combine two concepts (sushi and naked women) that are pretty cool on their own into a mega cool idea 🙂
4 questions for the seminaked sushi lady:
It’s the talk of the town. In the
weeks since its introduction, the
concept of nearly-naked-woman-as-plate has generated so much
buzz in Chicago you’d think we
live in an insular farm town in the 1940s. Or Utah.
Lost in the media buzz about the dishes has been the
dish, that former belly dancer who, five nights a week,
gets paid $100–plus tips–to allow parties of diners to
mix fish flesh with fantasy.
She’s 24. Her name is, simply, Tabitha. And
she’ll be your service tonight.
“It’s more difficult than it looks. I have to concentrate
on staying still and control my breathing,”
said Tabitha, echoing what some male customers will
likely say.
Q What makes it difficult?
A It’s all about muscle control,
so the food doesn’t fly off.
Q What do you think about
while you’re lying atop
a table, nearly naked, for an
hour and a half ?
A I can hear the diners and I
listen to the music, but I’m in
my own world.
Q How have the customers
treated you?
A People are afraid to go, then
they take pieces from my
stomach first. The breast pieces normally are the last
eaten. Maybe it’s their nerves. It is borderline naughty.
Q Do you enforce any rules of etiquette?
A No tickling; don’t be too funny. I don’t want to laugh.
Be good with your chopsticks–you don’t want to
drop anything. No forks!
Body Sushi is available by reservation only, starting
at $500 for four diners. Phone 312-335-9888, and be polite–Tabitha fields the calls.
