I recently patronized an exotic dancer at PL in NJ. Let’s call her Morocco. Morocco told me she was half French / half Persian. The exotic combination intrigued me. I thought I struck gold. After all how many half French / half Persian exotic dancers can there be in NJ? After talking to other dancers it sounds like Morocco is a far more pedestrian half black / half white mix. After I realized what happened, I thought about the handful of times strippers have done this to me in the past. They pretend to be from a culture that is something other than what they are.
I am not sure if this bothers me. I think it is analogous to plastic surgery. If breast implants are done really well, who cares. If they look like they were bolted on, I would prefer that they were natural even if they were much much smaller. If an exotic dancer can fake another more exotic culture the same way Steven Spielberg faked dinosaurs in Jurassic Park then I’m okay with it. But if she says she is from another culture but does a poor job appropriating that culture, then I’d rather pass.
Personally, I appreciate her lack of honesty about how she really feels about a guy who's 30+ years older than her touching her. It's like watching a movie, suspension of disbelief is necessary. That includes not asking another dancer about a dancer's shpeil. I take a pass on the shpeils, just skip right to seeing if we click in the couch room.
Back in the day, strippers were more likely to back each other up. It's a sign of the bad times, that they're more likely to undercut each other nowadays.
