Reading Time: 6 minutes I stripped on and off for over 20 years. And in all that time, I think I met maybe four of the owners of the strip clubs I worked at. I actually spoke more than a few words with only two out of those four. Frankly, in all that time I had plenty of reservations […]

Tales from the strip club: Eric the manager
Reading Time: 6 minutes Of all the staff members at strip clubs, managers are second to the owners for negative stereotypes. To be honest, I have had a couple of rare, unpleasant encounters with the managers I’ve worked with as a stripper. They have a tough job when it comes to keeping staff, entertainers, and customers happy—not to mention […]

Tales from the strip club: CJ
Reading Time: 6 minutes The foundation of a successful trip to the strip club isn’t the strippers. Surprising right? It’s actually the DJ. They set the mood and the overall tone of the entire experience. DJs don’t just spin music and introduce the dancers on stage. They control the lighting and timing. To me, they’re like gods, but after […]

If there was drama or a stripper beef in the club, it never involved Kitana. She had the type of presence and personality that […]

Tales from the strip club: Presley Arcana
Reading Time: 8 minutes [TW: Sexual assault] I only worked with Presley for a short time. It was the mid-2000s. I didn’t know much about her, but I loved to watch her dance. She’s not a big person, but on stage, Presley Arcana was larger than life. Beautiful and bubbly, she drew attention and dared you not to have […]

Tales from the strip club: Trouble
Reading Time: 6 minutes Despite her name, Trouble didn’t cause much trouble. She kept to herself most of the time, a self-described worker bee in the strip club. She was there to work and make money and didn’t let herself get caught up in the backstage social aspects of the club. When I sat down to talk to her […]

Tales from the strip club: Brooklyn
Reading Time: 6 minutes Brooklyn is a close friend of mine. She was an important ally in my younger years. I’m not sure I’d have made it out of stripping without her. Brooklyn saved me from at least one broken nose and countless other bad situations in the strip club. I very likely owe her my life. Or at […]
