Family Friendly Stripper

So, you want to load up on the fanservice? Throw in a Stripperific costume and other sexy stuff? There's just one problem: this is a Family TV Network! We don't believe in that stuff around here, so how do we go ahead and do it anyway?

One possibility is to make liberal use of Censor Steam, Censor Suds, a Scenery Censor, or a Modesty Towel. This trope is an alternative.

A Family Friendly Stripper wears an elaborate and theoretically sexy costume—that just happens to cover just about everything. She makes a major show of removing a scarf or other accessory instead of actual clothes. Gyrations and undulations happen, but in a strictly PG-rated manner. And lap dances, if they occur at all, are arms-length affairs.

Live Action TV

The classic example is How I Met Your Mother. The show's Lusty Leopard location is a strip club, but this is still broadcast TV. Also, getting Allyson Hannigan to do a stripper act while pregnant was already pretty unlikely. So the Lusty Leopard is a well-lit strip club, where the performers wear elaborate burlesque costumes that never come off, and where the music is sufficiently muted to permit the dialog.
