December 24 is when Page Six writers get to use ancient Greek and H. L. Mencken references to write strip club gossip. The holidays can be so beautiful in New York:

THE world of ecdysiasts - a coinage of H.L. Mencken from the Greek "to peel" - is changing fast with the closings of Scores West last February and Scores East this month.

Not to worry — the strippers, with "hearts of gold," will soon get to apply at a New York expansion of a Las Vegas strip club. Which the Post, famously fond of ecdysiasts, will no doubt continue to report on, energetically.
