The most effective line I ever had was the honest truth:
"You in town for business?"
"No, for a funeral. My best friend from high school's mother. I was a pallbearer. Have you ever been a pallbearer..?"
Now it's pretty unlikely that anyone would use this hundred-pound pixie as a pallbearer, so I felt a little stupid after asking that, but I was genuinely grieving, 3/4 drunk, and stumbling for comfort. I found it -- sweetie hung around in my lap long after I'd run out of money, and we had a pretty good time.

I'd like to add that fishnets are awesome.

Hell, I don't always love my job either. Just because it doesn't disgust my daddy doesn't mean I'm not being exploited.
At least a stripper's lousy job gives us something beautiful to look at (etc.), which imo makes the world a more beautiful place. I also strive to make the world a beautiful place, but I don't get much opportunity to do so on the job. But I very much want to encourage that sort of behavior! Throwing around some money seems to do the trick, and usually makes everyone feel a little better.

<div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); padding-top: 5px; padding-right: 5px; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-left: 5px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; "> I went once... pretty funny scene. It's in the basement of a small, lively Turkish restaurant, so you have to wiggle through the crowded tables full of food and hookahs, and past the band and the belly dancers, and down the stairs. Inside there's about a half dozen "rooms" with couches, divided up by shabby hanging bedsheets. It looks a little like a cross between a 7-year-old's couch fortress and a 13-year-old's haunted house.<br />
<br />
I was the only customer and the three dancers (in the 6 to 7 range... the belly dancers upstairs were hotter!) were bored stiff. The host apologized for the underwhelming scene and waived the cover. The dances are $25 with only nominal attention to rules and song length. I would presume that everything's negotiable, and there was even hint of a bedroom available somewhere upstairs.<br />
<br />
I spent about $200 and had a great time, and left the girls a little happier as well. Overall fun and I might do it again, but if the cover had not been waived I would have felt like it was a scam. It also felt like if there WAS any kind of crowd, it would have been pretty awkward, because there's not much room to move around or sit & chat.<br />

Definitely not HLDC caliber. I wish I knew someplace that was.</div>
