LOS ANGELES -- Promising to make lap dances tax deductible if elected, porn star Mary Carey Tuesday collected signatures outside Los Angeles City Hall in her bid for California's top political post.
"My goal is to bring happiness to the streets of California,'' the 5' 9" blonde told a small group of reporters.
Sporting a star-spangled bikini top, Tommy Hilfiger shorts and 4-inch-high platform sandals, 22-year-old Carey stopped passers-by in her bid to gather the 65 signatures needed to run for governor in the Oct. 7 recall
election.
She was flanked by her manager and two supporters, one carrying a sign that read "Californians Prefer Blondes.''
Carey said her platform includes taxing breast implants to generate revenue; hiring adult film stars to help negotiate better wholesale electricity prices; and creating a "Porno for Pistols '' program, where gun owners can to swap their weapons for X-rated films.
"If more guys had orgasms, they'd be less violent,'' said Carey, who said she'd run as an Independent.
Her solution to global warming?
"Wear less clothes.''
As Saturday's filing deadline to enter the October recall election nears, an eclectic crew of potential candidates have pulled nomination papers. Few have yet to officially file and pay the $3,500 fee.
Besides more serious potential contenders such as former Los Angeles Mayor Richard Riordan and actor Arnold Schwarzenegger, prospective candidates include Hustler magazine publisher and self-described "smut peddler'' Larry
Flynt and aspiring platinum-haired billboard queen Angelyne.
