Stripped

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

The clubs can turn dark in more ways than one

By Justice

Topless and mid-lap dance, the lights shut off when the power went out at work. The music stopped. My heart stopped, too, like it had also been running on electricity. I am so scared of the dark. With out missing a beat, a full club began to cheer and clap. I protectively put my arm over my chest and sat on a very drunk patron’s lap, not really being able to see anything or do much else. On the far side of the club, a few emergency lights came on. In the dimness, everyone got very still. At least I think they did. My memory is probably faulty because I was in such a panic.

I’ve been scared of the dark since I was a child. You are so truly vulnerable in the dark. I am most vulnerable to a wild imagination. Against a completely pitch-black scenery, like a blank piece of paper, it’s a landslide of horrific thoughts with nothing to suggest peace or safety. Naked in the dark in a room full of strangers? This scenario is like falling right into a nightmare. And they’re not just any strangers. They’ve been teased and stroked all night and then, in the anonymity of darkness, they could do anything. A horny mob of drunkards, ready to assault the crap out of you.

Seconds after the power went out, it came back. I don’t suppose an entire minute had passed. The same song picked up where it left off. It felt like I took the first breath I had taken since the room had gone black. I finished my dance, like I hadn’t been accosted by darkness.

Dancing in the dark....til the tune ends we're dancing in the dark...and it soon ends...we're waltzing in the wonder of why we're here...time hurries by, we're here...and then..........

And we can face the music together....dancing in the dark...with you.
(Fred Astaire did it better).

I think there is more than your fear at work. Those places are scary in the dark and in the light!
