(Hint: ladies, men don&amp;#39;t care about your shoes.)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;From Melanie&amp;#39;s own mouth, following her experience on the New York naked sushi circuit:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;I glanced at my feet and saw that I needed a pedicure. Badly. People
were about to be eating off me and I hadn’t done them the courtesy of
getting my toes done.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;i&gt;With a series of frenzied hand motions, she directed me to strip, tape
the shells to my nipples, then secure the thong to my sides and butt.
There was no time to be bashful, and I quickly grasped that my body was
not my own for the next few hours. It was a commodity I’d loaned to
Koko. I wondered if this was how strippers feel. Detached. Robotic. At
work.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Yep. That&amp;#39;s pretty much how strippers feel... except you forgot the occasional bonus feeling: &amp;quot;sticky.&amp;quot;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;i&gt;The next moments proved to be intensely erotic, oddly enough, as Koko
flittted daintily around the table, decorating me with scarves, bright
pink flowers, and the fans that would serve as trays for the sushi,
sashimi, and shumai. Never before had I felt like a piece of art.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;i&gt;As
the men got drunker, their timidity vanished. Chopsticks flashed above
me as they navigated the buffet, taking their dinner from my curves and
crevices. Through it all, Koko sped gracefully in and out of the room
to replace the small trays of fish. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;i&gt;For an hour and a half I laid there, while the men surrounding me drank and ate and stared, and sometimes poked at my bare body.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;90 minutes? To eat sushi? Man, these guys are really lame... at least they gave her $150 in tips so, as she puts it, she can get the extra therapy she will most certainly need...&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Read her full story &lt;a href="http://www.vanityfair.com/online/style/2008/10/naked-sushi.html" target="_blank"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.
