In the Allentown, PA, area a local dancer committed suicide a few weeks ago. I suppose dancers committing suicide is not new to anyone on this board. There was some local news coverage that portrayed her as more than a woman that let guys feel up for a couple dollars. She was an accomplished pole dancer and pole dancing champion.
Have the deaths of strippers been reported in your area? If they were, how was the news coverage?
Furthermore, the club she danced at, Spanky's East, held a memorial service for her. I'm cynical and believe they used this to make money. They held it on a night that they usually charge a cover fee to enter. But, they posted on their Twitter feed and Facebook page that one of their dancers passed away. They have a RIP sign hanging on the bar. Is this something you've seen at any of your clubs: paying final respects to dancers that pass away? Even at smaller clubs (which Spanky's East is) is this heard of?
Do smaller clubs have family atmospheres?


Yeah, a stripper at a club I went to was murdered by her Marine husband. They were both 19, and evidently he was jealous she danced. She was new and well liked. A news crew showed up at the club to dig up whatever, but they were told to leave.
