Awol737 - you don't know any more about the stripper "type" than you know about current job opportunities.
Why are you telling Justice to get out of this work and maybe come back to it, at the same time???
Incredibly helpful advice (puhleez) from yet another brainless hard dick who knows nothing about the stripper experience. For the record when we're done laughing at you in the dressing room we roll our eyes then go back out on the main floor to take the rest of your money.
1) The rules are unclear, everywhere I've ever worked (7 cities in 2 states)
2) The ones that are clear are obsolete and need to be changed to better reflect modern times not to mention LOGIC
3) "you have nothing to worry about" is a load of crap - none of us need a record, fines, hassles, or unfair treatment by law enforcement
4) two words - consenting adults (get it???)
5) two more - violent crime (as in, going unchecked due to cops wasting time with nonviolent "crimes" in strip clubs)
Best of luck Justice. This sucks.
Yes, Yes, Yes!!! Sing it Sistah!!!
Bless you, sweetie, for taking the words right out of my mouth (and off my blog where I write about this constantly). Never stop fighting this fight. Erotic and emotional labor are valuable and beautiful but what's happened to this industry over the past 10-20 years is aplorable. I've stripped in the 80s, 90s, and 00s (5 years at the Crazy Horse Too) and miss the ways of the old days. So much.
Make owners & mgt liable, it IS the only way.
Jesus Justice, your readers spelling gives me a headache. You, however, rock. Sing it sistah!
And Awol, waitressing is demeaning, exhausting work, with strict schedules and massive competition for the few good (high end) jobs. Every single stripper I know (hundreds, as I am one for 13 years now) who ever waitressed would NEVER go back. Just FYI.
"I recently woke up in the middle of the night (what you might call afternoon)" <-- brilliant line!
It's interesting that you say security is had for a relatively small fee, yet it's not uncommon for dancers these days to be short of house fees & tipouts.
I would suggest the archaic system of overpaying this particular arm of the patriachy for what is very often ineffective and inefficient "security" is more transparent than ever, and more in need of restructuring &/or dismantling too. Let's start by asking the powers that be, why they aren't paying security a decent salary but instead expecting performers to do it. Because they can, of course.
Sometimes the content of your posts is the best part to me, other times your prose really stands out. Today, both - and especially this:
" I told him that the next time I see him, I want him to tell me that he got involved in stuff he loves to do. He promised he would."
"4) If you break the rules and are faced with a situation like this ding dong, then - ALWAYS Deny and make Counter Accusations of a much worse nature!"
Counter Accusations?? Seriously??
Uh, no... Actually if you get caught, then man-the-heck-up and be honest. If you can't be honest when you're caught, you're causing undue pain and suffering to someone you vowed to care for.
Discretion is vital! BUT if you get busted, all bets are off - be a man about it.
My fave post so far! I may have to link this one to my blog... too funny.
xo,

Sickening, utter horsesh*t. Best of luck, sweetie. Get a great lawyer and give 'em hell.
