Servicing the Pole
Some people have nightmares about showing up to work naked.
Other people live them.
Servicing the Pole is the portrait of a New York stripper – a battle-worn misfit slogging her way through the city’s roughest clubs, watching as the job replaces her personal life, and secretly harbouring rock star ambitions.
As the fast-paced night life’s deceptive promises of easy money gradually give way to the harsher realities of addiction and prostitution, Emily must decide – is this really the person she wants to be? And if so, at what price?
This week’s chapter: FORTY-THREE
“I have the best news,” Sharon crows.
“I can’t wait,” I tell her dryly.
“So, I was working at The Velvet Rope, right?”
“Yeah. I heard,” I interject. She misses the sarcasm.
“Now I live on Park Avenue near Fifty-Seventh. And you know what else?”
Far from being happy for her, I’m interested in wrapping up the conversation so that I can attempt sleep once again. I fall silent, waiting for her to continue.
“I’m clean. Thirty-six days today.”
