3 Naked Ladies
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

JshD: Oh God, save us from the Captain Save-A-Hos of the world!
RA: … or want to take their money, or both.

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.
