Ex-Stripper Dons A Robe

Ex-stripper Diana Hampton will soon have something new to wear - judicial robes.

Hampton was elected to the Municipal Court bench in Henderson on Tuesday, defeating Michael Miller in a run-off by 176 votes.

Hampton, 39, had acknowledged during the campaign that she worked at a Las Vegas striptease club to help pay her way through college 14 years ago.

She called it "a fact of life" and said she hoped the interest it drew to her candidacy would eventually die down.

She was elected to a six-year term for the judgeship that pays more than $100,000 a year.
