Looks like the Scores strippers who planned to dress up and volunteer at the Puppetry Arts Theater’s annual Halloween Carnival in Park Slope this Saturday are going to have to put away their sexy cat outfits. After the Daily News reported today that they’d be doing things like passing out candy and boobing — sorry, bobbing — for apples with the impressionable children, the girls were promptly disinvited. “They told me they did Toys for Tots, and they were looking to volunteer, and I was pleased to have them,” Puppet Arts founder Timothy Young explained to Intel this morning. “I mean, there were only three of them, and what’s the big deal about what this particular girl does for a living, you know?” But Young wasn’t expecting the girls to take the news of their good works to the papers. “They wanted to let the community know, look how great we are!” he said. It backfired. This morning, MS-51, where the carnival was to be held, recoiled. They might even cancel the event, Young says. “The school doesn’t want the bad publicity, and we offer no disrespect to the school. But if this thing cancels, we’re going to have a lot of problems.” Yeah. No one can throw a fit quite like a Park Slope kid.
