This day in WND history: Naked PETA tigerlady calls Halloween too sexy

Naked PETA tigerlady says Halloween too sexy

Oct. 30, 2006: An animal-rights activist who stripped nearly nude before striping herself to look like a tiger ironically told women not to dress sexily for Halloween.

Jabeen Akhtar of Raleigh, North Carolina, an employee of the U.S. EPA, took part in an anti-circus protest in Charlotte, North Carolina, where she painted tiger stripes on her skin and sat in a cage on a public street, wearing only "panties and pasties."

But despite the flaunting of her body for ogling passers-by, Akhtar told other people they should avoid sexy costumes for Halloween.

"They will be pretty hard to miss, because they will be everywhere – in thigh-high boots and mini-dresses, with toy accouterments such as handcuffs, stethoscopes and whips. And lots of cleavage. The most popular creature for a woman to dress up as on Halloween this year: the tramp," she said.
