"Honoo no Yoko" (Flaming Yoko)

Stripper's blazing performance makes fan shout "fire" in a crowded theatre

Then came the climax of her stage performance, the routine from she got the stage name "Flaming Yoko": She would inject a quantity of alcohol into her vagina, part her thighs and spurt the liquid towards a waiting flame.

As a safety measure to spare those in the first row of seats from singed eyebrows and possible first-degree burns, Yoko would request customers to lean back away from the stage. "This is being done in complete defiance of fire regulations," she would warn them in a verbal disclaimer.

The great ball of fire at the climax of her performance was the source of considerable anticipation, and excited male fans often got into the act, counting down "5, 4, 3, 2, 1" and then, in unison shouting "Fire!" as she let fly, causing an impressively large fireball to burst forth in mid-air.

Ceci n'est pas un extrait d'un roman mais le recit de la performance réelle d'un strip teaseuse japonaise. La performance physique en elle même est impressionante mais ce qui m'impressionne le plus est le fait que des gens suivent et viennent voir, et participent même, a ce genre de spectacle dans le cadre d'un strip tease. Mise a part le coté spectaculaire, je ne vois pas quel genre d'excitation une performance de ce type peut provoquer.
