UPDATE for you Farkers: You want the pics? You got ‘em. Click here, but don’t say we didn’t warn you.
In what may be PETA’s most geriatric stunt yet, 1980 Olympics figure skater Tai Babilonia will be skating in the nude tomorrow to protest Santa Baby’s slipping of sables under the tree:
There will be no sequined costume for champion figure skater Tai Babilonia tomorrow — in fact, there will be no costume at all. As part of PETA’s iconic “Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur” campaign, the two-time Olympian will skate on the ice rink at Rockefeller Center wearing just a tiny flesh-colored thong, and carrying a sign across her chest. The champion skater is stripping off to encourage shoppers to cross fur off their Black Friday shopping lists.
Deceiver readers in New York, you’ve been warned: Don’t go anywhere near Rockefeller Plaza tomorrow around 12:30. Unless you to see a naked 50-year-old former drug addict making a damn fool of herself, but in that case, you could just become a Pam Anderson groupie and call it a day.
Only thing is, Babilonia’s newfound commitment to animals doesn’t extend as far as Morton’s Steakhouse, since Robin Leach says she’s known to frequent the one in Las Vegas (sixth item):
If the bartender mixing signature cocktails at Morton’s Steakhouse looks slightly familiar, don’t be surprised to learn he is former pro ice-skating champion Keith Green. He starred in City Lights at the Flamingo, and in Le Ice at the Luxor and decided to stay in Vegas as a full-time resident. Previously he appeared on NBC’s Wide World of Sports and toured with Dorothy Hamill’s Nutcracker, and Torville and Dean’s Face the Music world tours. He serves up heavenly martinis with the speed of a skater when best friends Tai Babilonia and Randy Gardner drop by for drinks!
Her love of Morton’s may have come from a training diet endorsed by her longtime coach, who makes no secret of encouraging his clients to eat plenty of muscle-building beef.
And she may want to rethink her support of One Step Closer and AmFAR, both charities that raise money for research to prevent and treat HIV/AIDS. Because how does she think scientists develop such treatments? Fairy dust or animal testing?
Just sayin’, if she wants to get in with the PETA crowd, she ought to know what else they stand for.

Who buys fur on Black Friday??
I doubt anyone who does will be dissuaded by an older woman skating around a public rink in a thong with a sign. Go rehabilitate some wildlife or volunteer at a shelter, if you actually want to benefit animals. If you just want people to stare at your naked butt, go apply to work a strip club. At least there you get paid.
HAHAHAHAHAH! Tai Babilonia?! I remember her. But I thought she was a disco singer, or “Solid Gold” dancer or something! And I was alive then. Is peta really this desperate? She sounds like part of a Rick Dees 70’s joke…
“So Tai Babilonia, and Twiggy walk into a bar….” …”and now here’s Disco Duck!”
Take that Barry Gibb!
I should have thrown in a Star Wars reference just so it was more late 70’s.. so… X-Wing Fighter!
I thought figure skates were made of leather?
Well AAW, she’s protesting fur, not leather! It’s totally different!
I’m gonna go eat a lobster now.
Did anyone see Mork and Mindy last week? Hey I heard the Robin Williams guy might do cocaine.
Okay I’ll stop now.
Is there any way she can be arrested for public indecency?
Is this what she considers a “big comeback”? Please..stay gone.
This might make me rethink camping out in front of Wal-Mart Thanksgiving night for those mink stoles they’re selling for $20 between 5 and 6 a.m..
Or not.
