Strip-o-gram
Encyclopedia
A Strip-O-Gram is a form of message delivery in which a woman or man will perform a striptease
while singing or dancing. The word is a combination of telegram and striptease. This type of entertainment became popular in the 1970s in the US and spread to the UK and Europe during the 1980s. Exact dates are difficult to ascertain however, as there does not appear to have been any major research carried out on the subject.
Typically a Strip-O-Gram is most often a form of gift given for a birthday
, anniversary
or bachelor party
. A common practice is for the strippergram to be dressed in an outfit of one kind or another and to act out some form of charade connected with this, before commencing their act - for example a police officer 'arresting' somebody, a lawyer pretending to serve papers, a jilted bride and so on, (sometimes this charade will be relevant to something the intended 'victim' has experienced, such as a divorce, or brush with the law).
An increasingly popular dynamic in this form of entertainment is humiliation of the intended victim, with mild bondage (for example, the use of handcuffs), partial undressing of the victim and so on. Boundaries vary widely, with sexual acts occasionally coming into the equation.
