Discovered lap dances 6.5 years ago.
39 years after 1st strip club visit.
Wrote an article about my slow learning.
@Minnow having memory of seeing the Apollo 11 moon landing live! elevates him to ultra legendary. It’s a stark contrast with my big sci-space memory being the space shuttle Columbia exploding shortly after takeoff. (a distant second being the childhood memory of the media lunacy of Sky Lab is falling)
I was a little too young for Elvis but I was aware of the Beatles playing at Shea Stadium - it was big news even for a little kid.
I was in class as a freshman in college when a priest walk into our class and said President Reagan was shot. He led a prayer for the President and class was dismissed.
@gSteph I will try and read the article
@minnow I have a story about Lou,s Will post in the future...54-60
@Studme53 never worked there but was at the French Quarter 95-97
Then I wound up working at The Red Raven and here they just had the stage in the middle and you were allowed to go around the inside of the bar and collect tips that way but you still weren't allowed to sit with the customers or really chat with the customers and you went just back in the dressing room to get ready for your next set and that's pretty much how it went for the rest of my early career that bars will still set up that way there was no table dancing no VIP rooms or anything of that nature at least in any of the places I've worked and as you tell I've worked at a lot of places in Philadelphia bucks county and New Jersey
Now when I came back to dancing I believe the first two bars I worked at was Dangerous Curves so kind of like a completely different setup big huge bar big stage and you were allowed to go on the outside of the bar to make money I didn't know if they had VIP rooms at that time or not I know I didn't do any of that of course I didn't know in fact when I came back to dancing and I did my first set on the stage I was wearing a beautiful two-piece bra and panty set from Victoria's secrets and had stockings on well anyway I dance my little heart out... So after I was done I was allowed to go around and collect my tips and then I went to the dressing room to get dressed after that you know went into the manager's office to see if they liked me and give me a schedule... Well the first thing out of the manager's mouth was do you take your bra off... And it took me back for a second and I'm thinking do I take my bra off so it didn't even register and I'm thinking what is he asking me do I take my bra off and I think he said something to the effect that the girls Go topless here and I didn't really understand what that meant because I'm from the old school where nobody went topless and if you didn't have a top one you had pasties on... And I think I just answered them yeah I can do that and we laughed and I worked there for a few years... And I worked there for a short time after it was Club Risque... Which at this point of time there was couch dancing VIP room and who knows what else went on... I also have a very interesting story about this bar which I will post sometime in the future
Well anyway when it comes to the Beatles my step brother who was collecting Beatles albums from the very start so he had all first issue recordings well a few years later he got married a month or so later his wife left him for a drummer in a band and she took all of this beatle albums... So that really sucked because they would have been worth a pretty penny in today's market... I buy and sell albums so I know the worth...
Do you have any experience in NYC, or LI that was where I grew up, and went to many strip clubs during my mostly misspent, younger days?
My familiarity with strip clubs is mostly in those areas during the 70s and 80s- early 90s
@PhredJohnson...Harry who...I know...that's going way back...
@Techman...awesome old time Burlesque Troupe...with orchestra..awesome...$1.80 holy smolly...stripping isn't what it used to be for sure... I did a little bit of everything in my stage show beautiful costumes what I could afford at the time most of my stuff came from Frederick's of Hollywood... Some costumes we're handmade... I did lots of styles of dancing go go jazz disco burlesque striptease belly dancing hula dancing also throwing in a mix of other types of dancing along with Riverdance...
For my own privacy I'll just say I am younger than many here but also far from the youngest.
Early 30s? At that age I was prowling the civie world and except for a few times never considered strip clubs but that was just me.
Music-wise, other than being into Prince, I was pretty solidly Boomer. Jimi, Stones, Zep, Beatles,, Janis, and such.
Symptoms.
I was an infant when Kennedy was assassinated, a toddler during Beatlemania, I never had to worry about being sent to Vietnam, and Woodstock was a movie I saw 10 years after the event. Sorry if my phrasing left you confused.
regarding the stupid remarks about being worried about Reagan drafting him to fight in El Salvador, which was 15-20 years after Nixon ended compulsory conscription to the US armed forces
but I also think that wars are a bad thing. especially for economics and political abuse... and a power grab by some.
For what it’s worth, I fell into the unique group of never having to register for Selective Service
“Men born between 29 March 1957, and 31 December 1959, were completely exempt from Selective Service registration”
I've heard a lot of dancers talk about phlebotomist as a good follow-on occupation, as long as you can tolerate the sight of blood. The training is very short, well under a year, they say. One dancer I knew became a surgical assistant. But she was a bit of a brainiac, you have to memorize hundreds of pieces of equipment, I don't think I could do it. Probably anything in Allied Health would work out well if you liked it. The classes are at community college, so less expensive. You can get student loans if you need to, and not end up with crazy debt. If you pick a specialty with patient interaction, being a stripper means you're already use to having to interact with a lot of strangers.
The dancer who became a surgical assistant said, when you tell people you were a stripper, half freak, and half are like "dang, cool". That was more than 10 years ago, so probably even fewer freak-outs now.
I knew a stripper who had become a car mechanic (after she got out of prison). It's one of many skilled trades you can learn at community college, in 2 years or less. She said the sexual harassment was more than she wanted to deal with. She ended up stripping (where it's a least expensive for people to sexually harass you lol). She fixed the cars of the people who worked at the club, for a good price. But that was more than 10 years ago, hopefully things are better now. And she probably was stuck working at seedier repair places, because of her prison record. Last I heard, she lives in Detroit now. She probably fits in well, she felt more naked not being strapped than she did with her clothes off lol.

18 to 20 year olds are usually a no fly zone for me because they can't drink and aren't that interesting to talk with unless I'm setting things up to get in their panties. And at this point unless I somehow lose my mind and want to keep them around it's not fair or fun to mess with women at that age. I don't need the drama.
