Encyclopedia > Pasties

Pasties (sing. 'pastie') are adhesive coverings applied to conceal a woman's or a man's nipples, often at a strip club. They vary in size and are usually not much larger than the performer's areola. Typical human female nipple and areola. ... For the book or movie Striptease see Striptease (book) and Striptease (movie) A striptease is a performance, usually a dance, in which the performer gradually removes their clothing for the purposes of sexually arousing the audience, usually performed in nightclubs. ... Cross section of the breast of a human female. ...


The concept of 'pasties' is to reveal as much of the breast as possible without being entirely topless. Most exotic dancers wear them in strip clubs only when required by law.


Pasties are usually applied with a special glue or tape. This is the origin of their name, as they are quite literally "pasted" onto the nipple.


Pasties are currently worn by most neo-burlesque performers. Burlesque pasties may feature tassels which hang from their centers, which the performers often twirl while performing. Many current burlesque performers also make their own pasties and teach workshops at which they share their twirling techniques.[citation needed] Photograph of Sally Rand, 1934. ...


Some women wear pasties to conceal their nipples and keep them from poking out from under a shirt, instead of wearing a bra.

Pastis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (199 words)
Pastis is an anise-flavored liqueur and apéritif from France, typically containing 40-45% alcohol by volume, although there exist alcohol-free varieties.
Pastis is normally diluted with water before drinking (generally 5 volumes of water for 1 volume of pastis).
Although it is consumed throughout France, especially in the summer, pastis is generally associated with southeastern France, especially with the city of Marseille, and with the clichés of the Provençal lifestyle, like pétanque.
Pastis/ Delray Beach: SouthFlorida.com (771 words)
Pastis, named after the popular anise-flavored aperitif of the region, is a great place to begin an exploration of what the French love to call their "cuisine of the sun."
Like many of the main courses at Pastis, the plate arrives oven-hot, and that has a downside with this dish because the fish keeps cooking; by the time I dug down to it, it was a bit overcooked.
The best news about the Pastis menu, and one of the reasons the restaurant is often full, even on weeknights, is that nearly all the appetizers and most of the main courses are available, with the restaurant's wonderful, homemade desserts and coffee, for a package price of just $24.50.
