Question for WV TUSCLers

Was in the Morgantown area recently. The sign at the Blue Parrot said "Hey West Virginia freshman girls, we hire former cheerleaders". My question is what is the minimum age requirement to be a dancer at a club in WV? If this sign is legit, aren't most freshman either 18 or 19? Unless I'm missing something (or the sign is a joke) how can you hire a dancer who otherwise wouldn't be old enough to enter the club as a patron? Inquiring minds want to know.

Not sure if the laws have changed as it's been a few years since I have been to a club in West Virginia but they used to allow girls to dance at 18. I've never been to the Blue Parrot, but I remember several excellent VIP sessions at JBs in which the girl had to wear an "under 21" bracelet. Come to think of it I may need to make a trip back to West Virginia to check out the newest crop of freshmen.

Wouldn't surprise me. West Virginia actually has more strip clubs per capita than any other state. They're not known for being terribly strict. I'd bet 18 is the legal stripping age. When I started clubbing in Ohio, 18 was the legal age here and still might be.

Certainly they would have to be of the age of adulthood, 18 years. Many places have a higher drinking age, like 21 years. Sometimes dancers will have to be at least this age in an alcohol club. But some clubs do not have alcohol. In some places dancers not of the drinking age, but still of the age of adulthood, can still dance in the club.

It gets into the age of all the bar staff. There have been law suits about cocktail waitresses, wanting to work in the clubs once they are 18yo. They have won in many places.

We need a section on this forum for lawyers and legal issues.

Generally the only reason we even have strip clubs has been 1st Amendment Law Suits, and brave attorneys like Melvin Belli and their clients who refused to plead guilty but held out for jury trials.

Lap Dancing only survived because Jim and Artie Mitchell refused to plead guilty, but instead hired expert defense and went through a felony legal trial.

It was only after this victory that the Mafia came in and took over, soon to be followed by Deja Vu, after the legal risks were gone, and without taking any risks themselves.

Yes Carlos, 18 is still legal in Ohio.

in many states they can dance at 18. just not legally allowed to drink.. usually a wrist band or some type of identifying mark place on their hand.

I prefer not to have alcohol introduced into the encounter.

So I'll just be looking for those identifying marks, buying them a non-alcoholic drink, and then letting a front room makeout session develop before it is time for my pants to come down and inviting them to the back room and then taking them home with me to continue.

What could be better, certified non-drinking girls, less than the drinking age, but at the consent age.

:) :) :)

What states, what metros? This county not that way.

Now for you LDKers, be careful. Don't get confused by the marks that TrollWarnBot stamps on their hands when he has recharged their anti-matter power packs.

But then, you guys don't really care anyway, just so long as they have enough duration.

LOL. Thanks, TheeOSU! I have noticed that a lot of clubs in my area won't hire dancers unless they're at least 21. My favorite story about 18 year-old dancer are two I met in 2004 at Diamond's in Canton. They were both still in high school and were satisfying a job experience program by working at the club. One stayed. One moved over to XTC to dance in the nude.

Yes you only have to be 18 to strip in WV clubs and it's the same in a lot of states, including Michigan (to the best of my knowledge).

The clubs in Morgantown suck, you'd think there would be hot college girls working in them but that's not that case at all. They have nice student loans and mom and dad, so they don't need to strip to survive.

The Blue Parrot is a dump and it often has splashy signs to attract attention (it's located on a very heavy traffic road) and sometimes some of their slogans on their signs have made national news. The funniest part is before the Blue Parrot the site used to be a seafood restaurant and people joke "well you can still go there today and still get crabs."

18 is the age for stripping in Michigan. I offered a dancer a drink at the Flight Club a few weeks ago, but she refused because she was only 19. She could not drink but she could do everything in VIP.

Q. Why do West Virginia strippers smell so bad?
A. So blind customers can be disgusted by them too.

I have never been to a strip club in West Virginia. I prefer my strippers with all of their teeth.

Georgia = 18 . So many years back a dancer in Atlanta took the city to court when they raised the age to 21. She won and the age was charged back to 18. Her argument was simple , you send our BFs to war at 18, but tell us we can't be strippers if we choose.
