A 49-year-old stripper who performs under the name \u201cViva Las Vegas\u201d is running for mayor in Portland, Oregon.<\/h3>\n

The middle-aged exotic dancer, whose real name is Liv Osthus, has no experience in governance but takes her clothes off for cash at a strip club called Mary\u2019s in Portland.<\/p>\n

When asked by Willamette Week<\/a> what she would say to older Portlanders who might balk at electing a stripper mayor, Osthus said she would invite them to watch her strip.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the stripper thing is so damning, they could watch my TED Talk, or read the book, or watch the movie,\u201d Osthus said. \u201cStrippers are amazingly strong, graceful human beings inside and out. I would invite them into Mary\u2019s to let me change their minds.\u201d<\/p>\n

Osthus also claims that her 27 years of stripping prepared her for politics by giving her experience listening and connecting to people.<\/p>\n

Asked, \u201cWhat managerial experience can you point to?\u201d Osthus replied, \u201cI have none, and the team I\u2019m pulling together will be the people who guide me on that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Willamette Week notes, \u201cShe\u2019s well known in the Portland arts world as an outspoken sex workers\u2019 advocate as well as a published author, writer and musician. After graduating from Williams College in 1997, she moved to Portland to pursue her music career, and soon after began stripping. She\u2019s been dancing ever since, often on the stage at Mary\u2019s Club.\u201d<\/p>\n

Osthus is running against three of the five sitting city commissioners.<\/p>\n
