Another wedding brings out the black sheep

I left town again to attend yet another wedding. It was in Texas this time. Home of the big stuff or whatever is their claim to fame. Yes, I left town again. I looked at my calendar and it seems that I’ve only worked six days in January. Between being discouraged about the recession and being out of town so often, I’ve kept my clothes on more than I’ve taken them off this month. Other people’s weddings are keeping me ...

Claiming one’s virginity is something to dance about

I’ve taken several people’s lap dance virginity. Finding out that you’re about to be someone’s first can be kind of nerve-wracking. Stripping is a job. It’s physical labor but it can be emotional too. You’re selling a weird combination of sexual contact and affection. Yes, I work for money but I really do want my customers to have a positive experience. I had the opportunity to take another person’s “virginity” a few days ago. He was 30 years old and, ...

Strippers for Obama take particular pride in new administration

The night before Barack Obama’s inauguration, strippers were discussing the important topics that weighed on our minds: “What color do you think Michelle is going to wear?” Several said, with certainty, the color that Michelle would wear. “Definitely blue or red” someone announced. One stripper said Michelle was going to wear gold. “What a pile of idiots,” I thought. Gold? Are you kidding me? Understanding the meaning of class is not a requirement to be a stripper, apparently. I rolled ... Read more...

Tanning often reveals a stripper’s dark side

Strippers have gorgeous bronze skin in the dead of winter. I don’t. “You still look like cheesecake,” my friend told me on my last night in Jamaica while looking at my pale legs. The observation was unfortunately accurate. I am scared of sun damage. Young women glistened with coconut scented tanning oil in the harsh mid day sun. Several had achieved the temporary and elusive perfection of a golden-brown tan. I admired them from the shade of my black wide-brimmed ... Read more...

Surviving a taco-riffic debut

My vagina made its world premiere on a Las Vegas stage over the weekend when I began working at an all-nude strip club. I got the itch to change scenery again and my good friend was working at an all-nude place. I get fidgety with my performance clothing anyway, so it was a nice change to not wear three pairs of panties at the same time. Gracefully removing your panties onstage can be challenging. I think I’m going to have ... Read more...

Come to Jamaica, where disproportionate performers and unique smoking skills abound

While there is still sunlight out on a damp, cloudy day in Jamaica, our cab pulls up to a strip club. I would witness and participate in many a strange act in this building, but I hadn’t known it by the looks of the place. It is a two-story building that is at the end of a poorly maintained, muddy road on a hill. On the way to the club, we pass a ton of fat, green jungle foliage and ... Read more...

On a roll in Jamaica, learning to make paper burritos

I’ve seen and done many things that many people wouldn’t dream of doing. Though it occurred to me, minutes before the clock struck 12 on New Year’s Eve in Jamaica, that I have never rolled a joint before. I still haven’t. While vacationers were enjoying champagne and ice sculptures at a resort’s New Year’s Eve party several feet behind me, I sat on a plastic lounge chair on the beach with my toes in the grainy Jamaican sand next to ...
