I Think I've Seen Everything in Detroit Now...

Blow me. 😙 Pronouns: hoe/heaux
Worked a double yesterday at a Detroit club (the city, not the suburbs). Day shift was slower than usual. This girl, who's been dancing for at least five years (we danced together in 2017 at another Detroit club), was sitting alone in a corner reading. "Cool, she's reading homework or something," I thought to myself.
No she the fuck was not.
She was reading a Bible. She carried it with her when she would approach customers, too.
Same girl struck up conversation in the restroom later into the shift. She was trying to get me to say some bad things about a girl who is rumored to have a pimp. She wanted me to educate her on what a pimp is. I thought she was trolling me. I asked a good friend on night shift about it. No, she was not trolling. She really doesn't understand what a pimp is.
But of all of the things I never thought I'd see is another stripper reading a Bible while at work AND taking it with her to customers. 😐

She told me about it while giving me an BBBJ. Only kidding although she was rumored to do that in a non extras club. Another dancer sent me her YouTube link so the Bible study part is true
I need to use that line on weirdo pervs who don't pass my vibe check when working at extras clubs. 💀
It would seem difficult to reconcile lap dances and extras with the "Thou shall not commit adultery" commandment. However, if the dancer thinks of an extras session as a 30 minute marriage contract with sexual favors, then the conflict is resolved.
Alternative, "Do under others as you would have them do unto you" also provides helpful guidance for a dancer.
holy fuck!!!! she really struck a chord there with you. i get it that why you got pissed off and all that, but to be pissed at that for a few hours? why?
if that had happened to me my possible first reactions:
"huh? wtf?" then backpedal a few steps, turn away and leave.
or
"no why? have you?"
"yes"
"oooohhh rrreeeaaaally? then why the fuck are you here in the club now?"
only one time have i ever initiated any type of conversation regarding religion. while during a lapper i blabbered, "god is going to let you in heaven with the ass that you got" she just turned around and went quietly replied "shoosh." this too was at the columbia plat. or maybe heartbreakers.
dem bitches are freaks in the VIP.
I've heard that it's fairly common for strippers in Vegas to be churchgoers. Because there are churches there that make an effort to be welcoming to them.
I'd wager that Christian strippers are less at risk of being struck by lightning than the many, many hate-mongering people who claim to be God-fearing.
When I lived down South, one of my favs told me there was some kind of ministry to strippers. Young women would come into the club and try to get friendly with the strippers. They'd gift the strippers inexpensive beauty products. My said fav mostly the stuff went straight it the trash, but some of it she used. She said it seemed like a way for Christian chicks to hang out in strip clubs, without feeling sinful.
I'd prefer a stripper who was mildly persistent in selling me a Jesus I didn't want, over one who was very persistent in selling me a lap dance I didn't want.
I asked her, 'leaving already?'
Her answer was that she had to get up early in the morning for church.
There's also a "read the room" factor at play here.
We all know most strippers don’t live the most stable lives, so some turn to religion to help make their life more grounded. I’d say most churches don’t give a shit what their members do for a living/how they earn their money as long as they are giving the church a portion of their wages.
When strippers start pushing that crap on customers and coworkers that’s crossing a line. Most of us would be offended if we were buying paint at Home Depot and the guy shaking the paint cans started asking you religious questions. Most of us would also find it weird if we were in a meeting and before it started your coworkers was sitting next to you reading the Bible as well.
I know she herself was more extremely open about her preference for women (this was in the early 90's), and she demonstrated that preference quite graphically on more than one occasion.
