The young woman at Duke University who works in pornography is back in the news. It seems she’s providing an example to other young women in college.

Belle Knox inspiring more NYC co-eds to be strippers

Belle Knox, who is paying her tuition at Duke University by working as a porn star, is inspiring New York co-eds to follow in her stilettos.

Since word got out that the petite brunette will perform May 2 at the all-nude Show Palace in Queens, the club has been flooded with applications from would-be teen strippers.

The club’s manager Mike Diaz told me, “We are getting bombarded, five to 10 applicants a day. The Knox story is bringing them in.”

Diaz said Baruch and Brooklyn Colleges are providing the best pole dancers.

The biggest number of rejected applicants have come from Queens College and NYU. “They’re not so good-looking. I don’t know why,” Diaz said. “So far, none have met our standards.”

Columbia parents should be proud. Not even one applicant came from the Ivy League university.

Strip clubs that serve alcohol ban anyone under 21 — strippers and customers alike. Show Palace is one of the only non-alcoholic, all-nude clubs that admits 18- to 21-year-old customers, and hires under-21 dancers. But they must be 18.
