What does PASTIE mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
A small decorative covering, often adorned with tassels or sequins, worn over each nipple by a dancer or performer as part of a costume.
A pastie is held in place with adhesive rather than straps, which lets performers in burlesque or exotic dance wear elaborate costumes without a conventional top. The word is unrelated to the savory pasty pie that sounds almost the same, even though a similar spelling is sometimes used for both; the covering and the pastry are simply two separate words that came to look nearly alike. Pasties became especially associated with mid-twentieth-century burlesque performers, who spun tasseled versions as part of their act. Modern costume shops still sell pasties in a wide range of colors and decorations for stage performers.
