Naked Girls Reading NYC Presents PIRATES vs NINJAS 11/16

On Wednesday, November 16th, New York's "Best Story Hour" (The Village Voice Best of NY 2010) pays tribute to one of history's greatest rivalries, as Naked Girls Reading NYC presents Pirates vs. Ninjas. The Naked Girls will revel in swashbuckling adventures and silent assassinations, tales of buried treasure and honor avenged, ribald sea shanties, poetical odes on throwing stars, and much much more.

Nasty Canasta is joined by Hazel Honeysuckle, Lady Scoutington and Bambi the Mermaid, as they share their favorite tales of subtle spies and seafaring brigands. Raise a pint of ale - or a glass of sake - with your favorite readers-in-the-raw, at Naked Girls Reading NYC's Pirates vs. Ninjas.

Naked Girls Reading NYC is the perfect intimate live event: a monthly nude literary salon featuring in-the-buff readings by local burlesque luminaries, professional librarians, authors and other Naked Girls. Past themes have included Banned Books, Science Fiction and Tween Lit, as well as their annual holiday presentation of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. Guests to the salon are invited to sip a drink and listen with their eyes wide open as full-frontal literature meets fine art in this intimate theatrical setting.

Naked Girls Reading NYC is on the third Wednesday of every month at UNDER St. Marks (94 St. Marks Place between 1st Ave and Ave A) at 9pm. Tickets ($20; 2 for $35) may be purchased online at www.NakedGirlsReadingNYC.com or by calling Smarttix at 212-868-4444. Seating is limited to 45; advance tickets are strongly recommended.

NAKED GIRLS READING began in Chicago in March 2009 as the creation of international showgirl Michelle L'Amour and Franky Vivid. The idea had rolled around in their heads for a few years in different formats, but with the opening of Studio L'Amour in 2008 it materialized as the perfect intimate live event. Naked Girls Reading now has branches across the country and around the world; the New York chapter, produced by Nasty Canasta, was opened in October 2009 to great acclaim ("Great literature stripped bare" -Entertainment Weekly; "It was a remarkable experience." -Tor.com) and was named "New York's Best Story Hour" by the Village Voice in 2010.
