In perusing through Gothamist this morning, I came upon this interview with the dubiously-named GiGi La Femme, a buxom burlesquer who is apparently trying to re-inject NYC with a bit of old timey spice. Good for her, I say. In any case, the only reason I'm citing it here is that I was struck by the photo that accompanied the interview (appended at the top of this post -- thanks, Gothamist), of the scantily-clad GiGi posing seductively (and, I'd imagine, uncomfortably) right in the middle of one of my favorite Manhattan byways, Staple Street in TriBeCa.
Inspired by same, here are a few shots of the picturesque strip in question (the last one featuring -- once again -- the Beastie Boys). Film fans might also recognize Staple Street as the ominous back alley behind Puffy's wherein Ed Harris kills John C. Riley in "State of Grace."
