(CNN) - The so-called hot dog stripper is once again dishing out the dogs, while at the same time dishing to reporters about her fondness for serving lap dances with her wieners.
She is back in action selling hot dogs, hoping to hook customers with the slogan, "Get a little wiggle with your wiener."
Cathy Scalia has wiggled her way to fame, known as "the hot dog hooker."
Ever since she wiggled her way out of a Long Island jail Tuesday she's been making the press blush explaining the distinctions.
She actually pleaded guilty to misdemeanor prostitution after an undercover cop bought hot dogs from her stand, took a business card offering topless dances, and ended up getting a lap dance at her home.
She denies police accusations that she offered more. Now it's the press being propositioned.
"Who wants to get a lap dance? I'll show you what it looks like. Come to the hot dog truck tomorrow. I'll have a bikini top on," said Scalia, though the rain put a damper on her fashion plans.
She wasn't always so brazen. Take for instance the last time she was arrested.
Instead of bouncing around, she hung her head to hide after being charged with prostitution out of a hot dog truck eight years ago.
But now the country's most famous hot dog vendor has knocked even the tanning mom out of the limelight.
One poll made readers choose. They went for the hot dog lady.
"I like doing the hot dogs. I love conversating with people," said Scalia.
But all the conversating about her is bound to get back to her four teenage boys in their grandmother's custody.
"To my boys, your mother's a stripper. You're gonna have to live with that 'till the day you die," said Scalia.
