Monday 13 March 2006

From Stan Lee, the man who brought us such popular superheroes as Spider-Man and The X-Men, comes this new kind of superhero in the form of the animated series, Stripperella. Pamela Anderson provides the voice of Erotica Jones who is stripper by night and superhero Stripperella by even-later night. Stripperella is the star attraction at the Tenderloins strip club. Besides her more obvious qualities, she has a heart of gold, a fearless nature and a passion for the environment. We first see her saving a baby from the lion pit at the zoo, before rushing back to her job at the club. Back at Tenderloins, her friend Persephone is dating a conjoined twin with a conflicting personality. Meanwhile, on a catwalk somewhere, a skinny Russian supermodel suddenly balloons to gigantic proportions, the eighth supermodel to fall victim to the same fate. Chief Stroganoff of the Secret Service summons Secret Agent 69 and sends her undercover to investigate. She joins a modelling agency and her first assignment is a video shoot for a famous rock band. During the shoot, one of the other models-dancers starts to balloon to huge proportions. Stripperella is determined to find out what is making the supermodels obese, but will she find out before more supermodels blow out to gigantic proportions?
