3 Naked Ladies
Class Act
Georgina Spelvin: I didn’t socialize much with anyone doing the films – I have no idea what they did off the set. Getting cast as Miss Jones was such a fluke. And every sex film I did after that was a case of someone talking me into doing “just one more.”
Teacher’s Pets
Jodi Sh Doff: In the 70′s, women who went to graduate school were few and far between. I was in honors classes up until high school, those girls went to college and beyond. But most of the girls from my high school were happy to get married and start making babies right after graduation. My fancy pants community college degree made me the “smart” girl in the strip clubs.

Coming Out
Jodi Sh Doff: My mom kept a Rolodex card listing my height, eye color, scars & tattoos — so she could claim the body when I was found dead in the streets.
Girly Show
Lauri Shaw: I’ll never forget this customer at Runway 69. She was a schoolteacher, the spitting image of January Jones. She swore she was straight, and was pretty defensive about the whole thing. Then she started drinking the fake beer.
Fresh Meat
Jodi Sh Doff: I realized recently that I wasn’t a stripper who drank, I was a drunk who stripped…
Lush Life
Rachel Aimee: Stripping can be a really difficult job to do sober: dealing with rejection from assholes, struggling to make back your house fee, working till 4am every night, and all the while having to act happy and flirty with each new guy.
Jodi Sh Doff: Tried it sober. Couldn’t do it.
RA: I know plenty of girls who’ve gotten seriously into drink and drugs because of the pressure of the job.
Guy Candy
RA: So many strippers have problems dating because most people—not just men—who date strippers either want them to quit the business…
JshD: Oh God, save us from the Captain Save-A-Hos of the world!
RA: … or want to take their money, or both.
Cash Money
Rachel Aimee: Money is still better than your average office job, and really good hustlers or girls at high end clubs can make a LOT, but there are also girls struggling to make $50 or $60 for an eight hour shift. And even those clubs charge the dancers to work now! The introduction of house fees has been an awful development in the industry.
Doll Parts
Jodi Sh Doff: I know it’s a response to public demand, but some girls considered implants a reasonable work expense, like a uniform.
Hot Lunches
Rachel Aimee: I think there’s this myth among dancers that the industry is “going downhill” and that dancers across the board are expected to do more than they used to do.
