Somebody Pin Me...!

Yep.  I'm pinning stuff.  But it's uber interesting stuff - featured clubs, cities and, yes, even featured entertainers from the past and the present.  Learn where she got those shoes and how you can get them for an even better price.  Plus, industry news like who slapped who in the parking lot of what club in what city and which states require permits.  I've also included other 'family' member information: porn stars (hey, they're cool peeps!), burlesque performers (you gotta know where you came from!) and cool scenes from really cool strip-inspired movies, books and blogs.  Oh, and gay stuff, too.  I'm still gay on Pinterest.  I'm branching out...one limb at a time.  Join me, will ya?

It Takes a Village…

It's amazing how this industry affects so many people in opposing ways. I agree with a lot of the issues presented here and much respect to the author for her brutal honesty. However, I'm glad that I have been able to pull some positives out of my experiences, while learning from the negative. This entry…

Sink or Swim

I didn't stop at The Rainbow Room.  I loved bartending: still do.  I wanted more of it.  I guess now is a good time to mention that I'm a bit gluttonous once I find something I really enjoy.  It's like an incessant need to gorge on as much of it as I possibly can.  A…

Tough Break

Getting back to Tampa was a relief - I'd never been happier to be back in familiar territory.  No worries about getting back and forth to work, where to eat, permits or a runty little man smoking weed in my bathroom.  Of course, it was a bit mundane at first: the girls at work weren't…

A very sexy video...it's classy and titillating all at the same time. Thanks to The Stripper blog for sharing!

In The Weeds

Work, work, work...that's all we did between the two clubs.  We were finally making some real money so it was worth the sore muscles, back aches and cramped feet.  What wasn't worth it was my friend and her boyfriend arguing at any given moment.  I was sick of it.  I finally had the last straw…

Know Your Market

With the growing obsession with exotic dancing and it being a viable form of income - slow, but it's getting there - toymakers have really stepped outside of the box.  What were they thinking?  That's easy.  Money.  One would be hard-pressed to NOT find a pole in one out of every three friends' basements.  Go…

Weigh-In #1b

Yeah, so if I were to grade reader participation for weigh-in #1, you guys would fail. It doesn't mean I don't adore and appreciate you: it just means that I should try a different approach.  Like something extra, extra simple...like red or blue - which color is better? Seriously, I'll make it a little more…

Trim

This goes double for strippers, ladies! There's nothing worse than getting a dance and wondering - 'where is that smell coming from' - but remember, in most states there is the two finger rule. You must have a landing strip the width of two fingers at minimum! And don't fret about razor bumps. Seek out…
