Well written story! The bullying part is typical of successful dancers. I wonder if any other industry where employees work on commission (automobile sales, real estate, etc.) has a "bullying factor?" For more of Kayden Cross, see:
I'm hardly surprised when people who are competitive turn out to have some semblance of a bully in them. Go watch the "Coffee is for Closers" scene in Glengarry Glen Ross again if you need to know that.
The weird thing is, as a customer, while I want the girls to be competitive, I don't see myself being that way. I'm being generous, giving away my money, particularly for good service. But I want good service, and I would have to think that a girl wanting to be better than the others at what she does will both make her offer up better service and make her more apt to get more money. She's the one who has to be competitive. And if she is, she gets rewarded.
Well-written article. I guess not all strippers and porn stars are illiterate. :)
There is a lot of mean girl behavior in strip clubs. I was on the phone last night with a stripper friend, who told me about being bullied at the new strip club she's dancing at. My friend is a stunning blonde, and I'm sure other dancers don't want the competition.
@Josh43: I'm not a salesman or in real estate. In fact, I kind of despise salesmen in general. There's no experience I hate more than when I need to buy a car. But I felt like watching that scene with Alec Baldwin in that movie gave me a glimpse into what it takes to be a great salesman, and also let me know I'm too nice of a guy to ever be in sales. Great scene. I think about Mad Men in that regard, too.
@jack: There's something about a woman that can hold an excellent conversation that both can't be faked and is a tremendous turn-on when paired with a decent body. These are a rare breed. Savanna Samson comes to mind. My ATF from Chicago also comes to mind. Shame she disappeared from the club I used to find her in.

My OTC sweetie (the one attached to her cell phone) told me that she got in a fist fight with another dancer. She refused to tell me why.

+1 on Glengarry Glen Ross, what a great film. sort of a cult film that few remember -- unless you happen to be in real estate!
