‘Soprano’ Stripper Poles on Ebay

Mandy @ Gone Hollywood | Tuesday, August 21, 2007

Now that The Sopranos is over, the owners of the real-life club that played the part of the Bada Bing will auction off the 12-foot stripper poles and other relics from the HBO drama on eBay.

Other items going on sale later this week include a pool table, a disco ball and the fluorescent purple men’s room sign often seen in the background as mob boss Tony Soprano conducted business.

Susie Quigley, who runs special events at Satin Dolls (which passed for the Bada Bing), wouldn’t speculate on how much the poles might fetch. “The poles have been featured in almost every single episode. I can’t begin to say,” said Quigley, a former dancer who appeared as an extra last season.

Also up for sale: at least 10 standard-issue bar stools that James Gandolfini, who played Tony Soprano, and his crew sat on. An L-shaped slab of the bar where they watched dancers and drank also will be auctioned.

Save your money. Maybe you’ll get the one Fergie used.
