Stripped

Tales of the naked city, from a Las Vegas dancer.

A little too close to a customer with ill intent

“I’ll get you fired from this club,” a customer told me. “I’ll get you fired from every club in Vegas. I have that kind of power.” And I couldn’t help but to laugh. Had there been a reason to fire me, he would have had to know my name or give an accurate description. “She was blondish. Youngish. Sorta tall with heels on. Kinda short without. Her name is Chrysanthemum Moon or something?” He told me he would have me ... Read more...

Ready to strap it on … for Burning Man

“How’s yer costume going?” asks my stripper friend in a text message. I wonder why she thinks I planned to wear a costume. I know she is referring to Burning Man 2008 and it is only days away but I never told anyone I was committed to wearing a costume. I haven’t planned one out yet. I figured I’d go naked. You get better gas mileage driving to Reno when you pack light. I suppose I should plan something. It ... Read more...

A cricket chirps, and there is talk of pills

At nearly 1 a.m. on Saturday night, I was on my hands and knees in my kitchen, making eye contact with a cricket. He looked like he was suspended in midair, because the spider web where he was trapped was so delicate, it was invisible. Crickets don’t seem to have the awareness to know where to look when presented with a human face, but I’m positive we had a moment when I looked into his beady little eyes. I personally ...

A rose by any other name … still gets the job done

“So what’s your real name?” It’s a question I get asked at least five times a night, every night, since I started stripping. My first stage name, Justice, is obviously not my real name but we are not trying to represent real life. By giving customers a fake name, we intend to protect our privacy and create a persona. We are in character and the stage name is a part of it. The customer and the worker both know the ... Read more...

Bearing teeth at questions about parents

“I have a daughter your age and I would be horrified if she did something like this,” a female customer tells me while we’re sitting next to each other inside a strip club. About 6 feet away, a young stripper gyrates onstage in front of a very pleased older man. The female customer watches in disgust. “Are you paying for school or something?” I tell her I am. She’s glad I have something else going on besides degrading myself. I ... Read more...

Me talk dirty one day

Dirty talk is a fine art that apparently incites great arousal — and loosens wallets. At work, I’ve studied it and made attempts to use it properly but I certainly haven’t mastered this skill. I barely understand the appeal, but I am trying to figure out its proper usage. Through witnessing some conversations by dirty talk experts (experienced strippers) and through my own trial and error, I have discovered that there are a few basic ingredients to structure some dirty ...
