"Strip or Starve"

[Cen1aur 1963]

There are always different ways of getting yourself out of debt. But I think in her case, she chose stripping because it just happened to be what was available at the time to get her out of debt. Are there other ways? Yes, but how quickly are those ways going to become available. I think it's about having the right connections. I met a girl at a strip club in Las Vegas at my frat brother's bachelor party, and she said she was stripping to pay her way through law school. At the time she said she was bringing home about $1,500 a night. I don't have a problem with what she is doing. It's her business and her bills. How she chooses to pay those bills is on her.

In depth lap dance conversation?

I find it interesting when strippers (regardless of gender) share their life stories while on the job. Some feel the need to offer disclaimers so that they won't be labeled as "just like the others." I tell ya, if I had a Snickers bar for every exotic dancer who is doing it to support children, pay for school, or blahzey blah. I'd be one happy dentist's nightmare.

Strip Club Patron: "Hey! Just swing from the damn pole and shut up with the life story. I don't care what you're doing with the money I give you. Pop your ass just like the rest of them ass poppers."

Some folks go to strip clubs like others go to bars. They like the atmosphere and will sometimes initiate the "tell me about your life" conversations.

Of course, this is what I've heard. I would never DREAM of going to a strip club...*cough*...

"I can flex in 25 positions...but I only work here to pay my tuition."

Wasn't this the premise of Player's Club?

I'll be honest here: if it's strip or starve for ME, no thanks, I'd dumpster dive for cans to recycle or whatever. If it's strip or my kids starve...pass the pole. Fortunately, my husband wouldn't let that happen. He'd do WHATEVER it takes to keep me from having to do something like that. I recognize that some women aren't so lucky.
