Rick’s Cabaret running out of names for strippers

Rick’s Cabaret spokesman Lonnie Hanover says the strip club is in trouble — it’s running out of names for its strippers. “That’s a problem,” Hanover told The Post’s Brian Niemietz at the Midtown venue’s fifth birthday celebration. “We’ve gone through cars, flowers, gems, perfumes, colors. You’ll always find a Mercedes or Porsche or Ruby.” Rick’s has employed more than 3,000 strippers over the past half-decade, including 1,000 on its current roster. But no two “active” dancers — girls who’ve stripped in the past year — are allowed to have the same working title. Hanover says requested names serve as a popularity poll for each generation’s sex symbols. “I’ve been going through Pamelas for 20 years. There have been a lot of Giselles,” says Hanover. “I’ve run out of suggestions.”
