SANTIAGO (Reuters) – A stripper who danced on the poles of Santiago subway trains to challenge the prudishness of Chilean society was arrested on Thursday during one of her lightning performances.<\/p>\n

Monserrat Morilles, 26, surprised subway riders all week stripping to skimpy underwear, but she refused tips.<\/p>\n

She said she was protesting a lack of tolerance in Chile, one of Latin America’s most conservative societies where the first generation since the Pinochet dictatorship is reaching adulthood.<\/p>\n

“This is just a beginning. We are starting an idea here that will grow and be developed further,” she told Reuters as police and subway guards surrounded her.<\/p>\n

The professional pole dancer worked quickly all week to avoid arrest, getting on at one station, finding a subway car with no children on it and stripping in time to exit at the next station.<\/p>\n

Chilean media dubbed her “La Diosa del Metro” or Subway Goddess. She called her performances “happy minutes.”<\/p>\n

“Chile is still a pretty timid country,” said her manager Gustavo Pradenas. “People aren’t very extroverted and we want to take aim at that and make Chile a happier country.”<\/p>\n
