People Want This Woman’s Extraordinary Humans Of New York Story To Be Turned Into A TV Series


We all have a story or two which we believe can be a good TV series or movie material – but that’s what we think, not the public.

Humans of New York is one of the most famous photoblogs to ever be. The blog and related social media pages are dedicated to sharing the extraordinary stories of ordinary people mainly from New York but the blogger behind this page, Brandon Stanton, has traveled to a number of other cities to cover the stories of different people.

It looks like Tanqueray’s story is the most amazing of all that Stanton has covered so far.

Tanqueray, who used to be a stripper, is the subject of the newest story on Stanton’s page and her story has more ups and downs than you can think.

Tanqueray’s story on Humans of New York Instagram page read: “My mom threw me out of the house at seventeen for getting pregnant, then had me arrested when I tried to get my clothes.

Even though she despised it, Tanqueray selected Fashion Institute of Technology for graduation and studied the art of costume design there.

When Tanqueray graduated, she started living with the LGBT community of New York City, started a carrier as a porn artist and a stripper, and finally ended up designing costumes for people.

Telling her story further, she said: “All my friends were gay people, because they never judged me.

“All I did was gay bars: drag queen contests, Crisco Disco, I loved the whole scene. And I couldn’t get enough of the costumes.”

The story, which is covered in three parts, now returns to the days when Tanqueray worked as a stripper.

“Black girls weren’t even allowed in some of these places.”

Tanqueray said she made more money doing her act on the road than in the clubs, and revealed how she had some really charming tricks as a stripper.

Talking about the stripping life, she said the realm of adult artists is governed by strict rules and failing to adhere to them can result in serious penalties.

In the third and the last part of the story, she discussed how the clubs were controlled by the mobs in the era she used to be a stripper and how the mobsters were very conscious about their hair.

She recalled when she did one of her ‘tricks’ for the first time, it ended up being her last because the client intended to spank her with an actual belt.

She said: “Madame Blanche set my best friend Vicki up with The President every time he came to New York. And don’t you dare write his name cause I can’t afford the lawyers.”
