Fired 44-Year-Old Stripper Sues Club for Age Discrimination

Dudester
A Canadian exotic dancer has filed an age discrimination suit against a Toronto-area strip club, saying she was fired because she is 44 years old,The National Post reported.

Kimberlee Ouwroulis, who began stripping when she was 40, says the manager at New Locomotion strip club sat her down on June 6 and said, "Your time is up here," the Post reported. When she asked if it was because of her age, he allegedly told her another older woman had been fired the same day, and the club was going for a younger look.

Ouwroulis says she would like to continue stripping until she is 47 or 48. Ouwroulis told the Post that while the job is about looks, it is also about personality and attitude, all of which made her a great dancer.

She has filed an age discrimination complaint to the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario. She is currently working at another strip club as a dancer.

In Houston, the tip out is anywhere from 25-50 bucks, depending on the shift and club. Most dancers consider it a slow shift if they take home less than 200 after tip out. If this gal can do her tip out, and still have...well, it depends on the club too. You have to audition at St. James. Some clubs don't require an audition.

It was only a matter of time. I'm waiting for some dude to sue because of sex discrimination.

This is why the independent contractor set-up is better than having employees. If they can't make money, they start giving blow-jobs or quit.

TUSCL_Brother,

Thirty years ago, I wouldn't look at her, but as I said above, "Not bad, in my book.", and I, too, would do her now!

To: Raincoat-the guy suing thing. In the mid 90's some guy sued Hooters because he wanted to be their first waiter (as opposed to waitress/hostess). It went to the US Supreme Court with the Supremes ruling against that little queen.

Stare Decisis (precedent) set by this case was that the "Hooters Girl" (emphasis on girl) was a product.

Th independent ontractor thing, as you pointed out, makes the girl put out or get out. Several years ago, when Houston Dolls was both high mileage and full service, this one little spinner was an absolute ten in looks. In the lapdance area she believed in one way contact and very little grinding. I can't imagine how she would take home more than a hundred a shift.

Dudester,

Doesn't that seem to be a one way street? I will agree that a court, should the need arise, rule in favor of the club if a guy wished to dance. However, if it were a woman wishing to dance in a guy club, I bet she would not win. There are examples of this.

Dancer, in Detroit, C.P.A. was my ATF and 44 years old. All around 10. Younger dancers were trying to do everything to get her fired because she was raking in all of the regulars with cash.

The picture shows me exactly what I expected -- a square jaw, wide waist, giant fake-looking tits, and bottle-blond butchy hair. She shouldn't be fired for her age, she should be fired for her overall appearance and choice of style.

There comes a time when one must realize one's age and be dignified about it.

She looks like a drag queen.

Probably she's been smoking for 30+ years; that said, I can certainly see her appealing to a certain customer base. Clubs really *do* need some age/race/body type variety, simply because one size doesn't fit all, customerwise.

I am *sure* there are other factors, though - clubs don't fire big earners because they're 44.

O.

Honestly, I think she's either leaning in towards the camera or it's a photoshop job on the facial features...who knows. Always have a spare pair of clean underwear available when you surf the 'net... :)

Oldest dancer in my favorite club has been verified by several dancers to be 48. She kooks like the typical washed up porn star. Tall blond, fair body except for the over sized bolt on's. But when you get up close, you can see the lines in her face. Even with all the make up. One brave TUSCLer has taken her for a spin and said that she was not bad. I need more than that. She recently came back to work at the club after having been suspended for drug possession. I'll pass.
