I'm still in touch with a few, two who are doing very well and have moved past the business, two who are still running the same sorts of scams twenty and thirty years later - insurance scams and massage parlors. It's kinda sad when you're 50 or 60. But it was different, like I said. Drugs was a big big part of the lifestyle, for the men as well as the women. I only knew one girl who kept her head about her. Big Susan. She worked in Walls Street and would show up in the clubs just before the holidays for extra money. She was incredible, in the way that Ursula Andress was. Statuesque, stunning, aloof. She didn't drink with, talk with or have anything to do with the customers and they worshipped her. It's a different breed that's stripping today. Wish I had had my head about me for even a month or two. So much money. It went out as quickly as it went in My 70′s & 80′s crew, no one left on top.

I've met former strippers who were house moms, costume ladies, even club owners. I've also seen women who were fifty and still stripping. Not a lot, but I know it happens. It's easy to think that once this business takes you, it takes you forever. Because usually the sad stories are the only ones we hear. Same time, there are some fabulous stripper blogs I've seen, some which I've linked to, and these women seem to be in absolute control of their lives. They have portfolios full of good investments, they own real estate, maybe they also have a side business. They keep records of their expenses and they write off their false eyelashes for the IRS. And never the twain shall meet... Did you stay in touch with anyone after you — or they — “retired,” and if so, do you know anyone who came out ahead of the game?

I come from a time before house moms, house fees, late fees or any kind of fines, before set lists or lap dances and although we had the champagne hustle and back rooms the closest thing to a dressing room was a two stall bathroom crowded with every girl on that shift. But the feelings are the same. Don't get close to me, keep your distance, it's none of your business. I had customers that showed up all the time, that I could have cultivated the way other girls did, like your Sloane. But I didn't, really, I couldn't.... We were years apart.
