I am a former dancer from The Lusty Lady in Seattle, Wa, AMAA

You should sleep with someone as photo 1 then change into photo 4 when they're asleep

Lol, if only I had thought of that before I threw out the wig.

That and I'm pretty sure my boyfriend might get mad at me, perhaps he should wake up to me in the morning with the wig and natural makeup on, might scare him!

throw on 'Thriller' by MJ then shuffle out of there

I shit you not on Halloween one year thriller came on and I did the entire dance naked. The customers were not amused.

But I was.

Id tip you sooo hard for that. Hilarious.

Right? I thought it was awesome. But everyone else is like "I CAME HERE TO SEE PUSSY GOD DAMN IT!!"

Perverts! I gotta get the DJ at my spot to play that now. Hilarity might ensue. Or they will curse him out

DO IT

What sort of philistine can't appreciate the novelty of a naked stripper performing the thriller dance on stage? I, for one, would be very entertained by this.

It was the shining moment in my stripping career.

who the hell wouldn't be amused by that. naked chicks = awesome. thriller dance = awesome. adding them together should only result in awesome

It really should. I wouldn't be mad if a video of it floated around the internet with my lady bits on full display. Worth it!

What's the creepiest thing a customer has done/said to you?

well that all depends on what area I was working that day.

When i was a dancer there was this guy that used to come in every week that we all called uncreatively "The Cum Eater." He would enter a booth after some guy had blown his load, beating the janitor there, and would pick up the guy's cum, and have you watch him eat it.

That was pretty gross. He tipped you well in the private booth if you watched him enthusiastically.

I've also seen way too much poop in my time there.

any poop seems a little too much poop by my standards.

Agreed.

this was NOT the right AMA to read after eating

Sorry if you were expecting more sexy.

Come for the sexy, stay for the scary.

The scary is far more interesting! I've seen a man jack off with stanger's jizz before!

Wow I've never noped out of a thread before... impressive.

I am honored!

CANNOT UNREAD!!!

YOU'RE WELCOME.

I can never unsee.

Ha-ha! We are the true winners here!

That you are...

I think this thread might end up joining other infamous stories like Jolly Rancher, Cumbox, Doritoes, etc.

Thanks for the AMA. I think.

Any time! And do you really think they are as bad as those ones? Because damn, those 3 are pretty god damn disgusting. Not saying these stories aren't... but I don't feel it's as bad.

You're fine, so long as we don't start the injecting drugs into the taint stories.

Oh! That reminds me of this one time...

just kidding.

That's even better than the story I told when I was a tour guide on the Seattle Lust Tour! I didn't realize he wanted you ladies to watch...

Haha yeah, one guy also wanted you to watch while he massaged his hands in cum.

I've driven by The Lusty lady on many occasions (mostly because I was working). Having read everything above this comment, I am really glad I kept driving. That withstanding, you seem like a cool chick.

Why thank you!

Were the stories true of the guy who liked to put rocks in his dick hole while the girls watched?

I never saw that guy, or heard about it, may have not been in my time. Wouldn't be surprised though.

Diablo Cody had the same sort of story in "Candy Girl," but I think that was SexWorld in Minneapolis.

Huh, well I suppose there is more than 1 Cum Eater in the world then...

wtf, I think that's worse than the cum box story....

I dunno, the cum box story is pretty gross.

Yeah, but at least cum box was dude's own jizzles.

yeah I'm pretty sure I even saw a dude jack off with a stranger's jizz for lube.

Of your coworkers, how many were actually going to school?

Ahaha....

none.

one of my friends gf is a stripper and i have it confirmed she is a student. idk how serious of a student she is, but she's a student.

Yeah I know a few porn actresses, strippers and cam girls that go to school. Just no one did at the establishment I worked at.

I will explain this place for those unfamiliar...

I think maybe people dont understand that this was a "peepshow" type place. You go into a little stall just smaller then a port-o-potty. The bottom of the door is missing to about your knee height. There are two kinds of booths, ones where the girls can see you( regular glass), and ones where they cant( a two way mirror).

Once in the booth, you put a quarter into a slot, and a partician rises up showing a room. In the room are the girls danging around. The room is oval shaped and rather small. about a dozen or so Booths line the one side of the dancers room and the other side is a mirrored wall.

The problem with the mirror is, you can see the guys in the booths next to you that chose the "girls can see you option", and they usually got their dong in their hand, up towards the glass so the girls can see them Jacking off. And unfortunatly, you can too.

Now what happens with all this jacking off in these little booths? Well, the floor is slippery, and for gods sake dont touch anything on the walls !!

I had gone here numerous times when I had just turned 18.(mid 90's) The funniest part was walking by the booths and seeing peoples feet all torqued out to the sides of the booth as they were Jacking off.

and it being open and only 25cents, you see why so many weirdos would go there.

Guess I should ask a question...... How much did the janitor get paid to mop jizz up all day? lol

You could only see them jacking off in two windows, the big stalls on either end of the stage with a window that comes down to where their junk is. Still though, 2 too many dicks to your liking I imagine.

and I am not sure about how much the janitors made, between 10 and 12 dollars an hour i think, possibly more.

As a teenager who always dreamed of the wonders inside, it's a shame the place closed a few weeks before I turned 18. A few main questions I guess:

What was the vibe like? I assume a lot of older men, but Seattle has always surprised me.

Why did it close down? I would hope a land mark like that would be sustainable.*

Men of all ages would actually come inside(zing). Everything from crackheads to business men. The vibe often varied dependent on the time of day. After 5 pm it could be relaxed and fairly normal people, just trying to get off for a few and head home, but the later in the night, or earlier in the morning, the weirder it gets.

And I had since left when it closed, I was really bummed I didn't get to go to the party, but we were suffering when I was there, that hotel they were building next door had a lot to do with it. Their construction blocked one of the signs and the foot traffic was much lower.

I visited a few times. I stopped working in Seattle otherwise I'd probably still visit. Didn't know the place shut down, sorry to hear that!

I'm just an ordinary guy. I had an ordinary desk job, have an ordinary wife who's into ordinary sex. I visited maybe because I was looking for something besides internet porn to jack off to. So tired of internet porn, a 3d woman is always better, even if she's behind glass (my opinion of course). It could be I visited just to feel something different - escape the business/middle class life just for a few minutes a couple times a year. Not sure.

Yeah it shut down a few years back.

And we had lots of regular looking guys come in, it wasn't that bad of a place.

Do you have any embarrassing moments or stories that happened whilst you were working? Please tell!

So many. One time a guy shit in the booth and smacked it on the glass separating us. All the girls screamed. A lot. Then the window slide back down and it got stuck in between the glass and window slider thing. The janitor working that day quit. :\

How often did janitors rage-quit? What was the average turnaround for janitors and jizzmoppers?

Did any dancers ever quit in a torrid of chaos?

Not too often, I mean they were already willing to take a job fully knowing they'd have to mop up jizz, they tolerated a lot.

And yeah dancers quit all the time, hell even I ended up quitting on the spot.

What made you quit finally? Was there a "last straw"?

Sort of, I got in a car accident and my injury to my neck made it kind of hard to work, and mix that with everyone found out, which i was not comfortable with. People I knew, or rather didn't know that well but were always creeping on me in my social life outside of work, started showing up and stuff. I just grew tired of it all. I stayed on as the front counter person for a while, but my hours were cut so I left.

So how much does a jizz mopper make?

I don't remember, I never was a janitor there, I think it was somewhere between 10-12 dollars an hour.

[deleted]

I just got tired of it. I had a car accident injury that was shit to deal with, and knowledge of my job spread to a lot of people I didn't really want to deal with showing up(which many of them did).

I can imagine. You were simply a dancer, but they took it to mean, Hey, I can probably get some pussy from her! People simply don't make the distinction between being a dancer and a person trying to live their life. *Am I even in the ball park with this assumption?

Yeah that's pretty accurate.

He picked up the shit and smacked it on the glass? Wtf?

Yes. Yes he did. And he wasn't the only one.

Ugh! Whats wrong with people?

Your guess is as good as mine.

Wow, i had a friend who worked as a jizz mopper there back in the late 90's / early 2000's. I have new respect for him.

They really put up with a lot there.

Is there a literal cum dumpster?

You know, I never really thought about it... probably more like a cum drain from cleaning out the mop bucket.

[deleted]

I never saw any disgruntled wives or gfs. But my co-worker told me one time a regular was extra douchey to him, and so one day when he was out front smoking, the douche walked by with his wife, so my co-worker said "Hey Jim!" and his wife flipped out.

And I've caught people giving blow jobs, smoking crack and shitting in the booths.

My favorite was I had a microphone behind the counter and the security cams so I could yell at people over the mic that didn't know I could see them doing shit they weren't supposed to.

[deleted]

More like "Hey, quit trying to look at that dude's balls" when one of them would be looking under a booth door. They'd get all mad like "I was tryin' to see tits not balls GOD!"

[deleted]

I'm happy to do it!

That haircut.. How much did you regret it?

EDIT: Well.. At least you HAVE hair now, Thanks for the update!

I'm just kidding, you look awesome :P

Not at all. I rocked it for 6 years haha. I've since grown it out, but I enjoyed it while i had it. And hell, even I get a laugh out of it when I see it pop up on places like Perez Hilton's website.

Fuck yeah - hair can always be cut off, dyed, changed and started over. Terrible tattoos are the biggest regret.

Yeah, and I actually like my tattoos. I only had one when I worked at the LL though.

(confession bear)

I would probably laugh at you in public with that haircut.

That's cool, it doesn't really bother me. To each his own!

Why'd you choose the name Mystery?

What's the most you've ever been tipped?

Do you have to deal with weird people often?

The girls thought it was hilarious that I looked so different from my appearance when i worked the front, that they all named me Mystery. So I kept it. Tipping worked differently there, but I made 60% of whatever I did in the "private booth" and I've made well over 1,000 in one sitting(which was commonly about an hour). Yes, weird people. Weird people everywhere. A lot of crack heads, and an alarming amount of men who loved to touch/eat other men's cum they left on the floor.

Just ONE man eating another man's cum off the floor is alarming.

Yeah who knew that was a thing.

Eat other mens cum.....what?

Yep.

If it's not too forward, what kind of things did you do in the "private booth"? Any lasting psychological effects of working there?

Usually masturbate.

and no not really, I accept I did what I did, am pretty open about it, and that chapter is now closed in my life.

On a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being nearly silent and 10 being deafening, how loud can you burp?

full 10!

I know this is probably gonna get buried, but when I was on a field trip in 5th grade to the S.A.M, I was sitting in the bus looking at the lusty lady. Out front were 2 of the ladies who worked there. I waved at one of them and they walked over and said hi to me through the bus window. So my point is, I want to thank your establishment for helping me look like the biggest pimp in my elementary school.

I will pass this along to all the ladies! I would be outside in my robe taking a break and those duck tours would always drive by, and try to distract everyone from looking our way, we loved waving at people and showing we were generally cheerful

Is there a "typical" kind of guy that dancers tend to date?

I'd imagine most guys couldn't deal with the scenario.

My husband didn't really care, it brought in money. He was military. Can't speak for other girls. I am now divorced, and in a relationship with a guy that couldn't give two shits about what I did for a living. He loves me regardless.

I, just this month, discovered a porn star I'd never heard of. Her name is Dee Siren. I was alarmed to discover that it was her husband that talked her into doing porn (short story). He chooses her Johns and they film it. Its profitable but that arrangement bothers me. I even felt weird communicating with them over twitter. I'm like, DUDE! THAT'S YOUR WIFE!!

That is strange but if they are happy and being safe, more power to them. I have plenty of friends in the porn business, some even in loving committed relationships. Some people just see things differently I guess.

I guess. I know I couldn't do it.

Honestly me neither. Stripping was one thing, I had little to no contact with customers, but porn? Nah, I'm a one guy kinda lady. Monogamy ftw!

Have you ever danced for a woman? If so, do you prefer it?

Yeah several times! It's usually completely different, and a lot of fun

You said you used to work there. What do you do now? How did you get started as a dancer? How was the pay?

Edit: Punctuation.

I actually own my own photography business now. It was a glorified hobby back then, but I've since taken my work to a professional level. And I got started as a dancer when I needed a job, and a friend of mine danced there. I started out as the front counter girl though, giving people change and watching security cameras, then one day I decided to audition! The pay was great, we got hourly pay instead of working for tips, and we didn't have to pay and rent fees.

Are you actually a lusty lady? How often, if ever, did you run into guys who became a little bit to...attached to you?

Was the pay good?

What is the weirdest/nastiest thing that you did?

Do you have any particularly interesting stories?

I wouldn't really call myself a "lusty" lady, I was actually married at the time when I worked there. I was lusty for him though ;)

And yeah I had a few that would try to follow me to my car(we usually had to have someone on the staff escort us to our vehicles or bus stop), some that would call asking for my address and such. It could get creepy sometimes.

The pay was actually pretty good. Unlike most places, we got paid hourly. 14 dollars to start and over the next few months earning raises up to 20 dollars per hour. We didn't get tips every night like most dancers, but we had a tip box. We'd let the tips sit for a year and every Christmas event we had called "Play Day" they'd split the money that accumulated and give everyone a pretty decent bonus.

I worked in a private pleasures booth, I can never not know the things that went on in there..... The things we do for money eh? I even shoved a lotion bottle(that did not belong to me) up my ass for more money.....

One time when I was working the front, an elderly man and a young Asian man came in together. Now, 2 people to a booth is prohibited but we got people trying to do that shit all the time. So anyway, I note the oddity and get back to work. While working the front I also have to watch the security cameras. I noticed two in a booth so I grabbed my mag flashlight, locked up, and headed to the door. I knocked and said "Only one to a booth please exit" at this time I noticed there was a person on their knees. I was completely ignored. So I opened the door. There on his knees was the young Asian guy, sucking off the old man. I started asking them to stop. They wouldn't. I start yelling(please sir take the dick out of your mouth!), they still don't listen. It ended with me hitting him over the head with my flashlight and throwing them out. Shit was weird.

I start yelling (Please Sir, take the dick out of your mouth!), they still don't listen.

LMBO that you seriously had to yell this at someone.

I did, it was surreal. I had to yell it multiple times too!

20$ an hour!!! that is shit!

Maybe. But IMHO I'd rather be paid by the hour 'cause it's more stable and doesn't encourage "extras".

Yeah exactly why I didn't mind

Did you make enough on stage that you didn't have to do private stuff/lap dances? Or was that required?

It was optional but I actually chose to do the private shows. I even did a few with other dancers sharing the booth with me for extra money dollars.

Damn! That sounds like my dream job. I'm a bit of an exhibitionist and I love to dance, so I've always wanted to strip. But the clubs around me are all high-contact type places (stage-as-advertising-for-lapdances rather than stage for it's own sake), and that's really not my cup of tea :(

What about being a Cam girl? I know girls that do that and they dance on cam for men!

I wasn't complaining, that is a lot to a 19 year old.

Is a job that plays 20/hr really shit? Or is that only for stripping/sex related jobs?

I think in the sex industry it's considered shitty, but compared to a job at McDonalds I was pretty excited at the idea of making more than min wage.

Yeah, I asked because I didn't think it was shit... :/

neither did I until a few people on here were like "NO." And I've been a dancer at other places and made WAY less.

neither did I until a few people on here were like "NO." And I've been a dancer at other places and made WAY less.

Very shit... Strippers can make like $500+ a night... I live in Toronto and if you are making $20 an hour or less you are struggling.

I enjoyed the security of getting paid that way.

I can understand that. But payed by tips/dances even on a bad night should pay more than 20/hr. That is an incredibly low amount of money for the type of job.

Yeah and I get that, but i can't exactly take that back now, 8 years later!

Private pleasures booth?

It's a booth that they pay more money to have a private show with you. You are still behind glass but you can talk to each other, unlike on stage, and take requests for certain "activities."

Were you working when the band The Swedish Legal System shot their video for "You're so vain" inside? It looks like it was a lot of fun.

http://youtu.be/pNOP6MuZVxo

No I do not believe so! But holy shit watching this reminds me that dressing room was so tiny!

What are you doing now? And what do you put on your resume for the years worked at the LL?

I'm a professional photographer and personal stylist now. And my resume says 'Seattle Amusement Company' instead of Lusty Lady. :)

Just out of curiosity, do people ever ask more in depth questions about the 'Amusement Company?" What is your response?

They never really do because I explain my job duties in a way to make it seem more like a bar or venue with entertainment and not nakedness.

What kind of cash did you make? What % of what a customer paid did you get?

I actually was paid hourly. We got paychecks. 14 an hour to start, raises up to 20 over a few months. The tipping we got went into a tip box we all split once a year, but when working in a private booth, you make between 50-60% of whatever goes in, depending on how much you make.

I saw a documentary about the girls from the San Francisco branch fighting to unionize and get healthcare ect. did you guys have any of those benefits?

PS used to walk by all the time, loved the signs!

Rule of Seattle LL, is if you ever dance for SF LL you claim to know no one from the Seattle branch, they hate each other. And no we didn't get anything like that. I miss the signs! They were just always a part of downtown.... I miss Seattle in general though, I moved out of state!

What was up with that guy who tried sneaking into the backroom through the ceiling?

About how much would you or your coworkers make a night?

And also, how much does the average jizz mopper make per hour?

I actually don't think i was there for that one, sorry! I can ask one of the girls though, a lot of us remain in contact.

I made 9 dollars an hour when I worked the front, and I started at 14 an hour when i was a dancer, and got a raise every few months until it reached 20.

I can't remember the exact amount the janitors make, but it was, I want to say, 10 or 11 dollars an hour?

I've heard the lusty lady is/was owned and run by women. Do you think that made your experience there any better than the average strip club? Also did you get a lot of couples in the private booths?

Yes it was, our bosses had been dancers there for 20 years. I've worked for other places and nothing compared to the excellent treatment I got at the ol' LL.

My favorite marquee text had to be "Summer sale, all clothes 100% off" do you have a favorite? Who came up with them?

Haha I remember that one. My favorite will always be "Peek Place Market" because the building was down the road from Pike Place Market, and they tried suing us for using it. They failed, and it stayed up.

What inspires such a haircut?

Tank Girl mostly.

I was about to ask if it was a tank girl cut.

Yep yep, very much inspired by it!

Tank Girl is awesome. They chose the right actress (Lori Petty) when they made the movie. Did I mention I'm in love with Lori Petty?

Yeah I was pretty happy with Lori Petty, she was perfect! I'm in love with her too!

So it sounds like this place worked a little different than most strip clubs. Judging from your comments, a guy would go into a booth, and then watch you through a window?

Were there lap dances or shows or anything, or was it just a girl dancing naked?

Yes, and he was allowed to jack off.

Girls dancing naked behind glass, a private booth, also with glass separating the customer and dancer, but they can talk and for a certain amount of money, she'll do whatever they want.

I gave a lap dance only a few times, on Play Day

Was there sex in the champagne room?

Lol, as if we were fancy enough for that kind of room.

What would it be called if you did have one?

The crackrock room.

Was there sex in the crackrock room?

no room existed, but a few times we caught homeless people fucking and smoking crack in the bathrooms.

Great AMA, btw. I like that you're still answering after 3 hours of starting. That's dedication to fans. :)

Haha I'm enjoying it, I work a lot from my computer so it's not a big deal to me. I'm also at my family's house awaiting the call on if I got a house or not, so nothing else to do!

House anticipation! I've been there. :)

Good luck.

Thank you! I was hoping to find out on Friday so it's been a sort of Hellish weekend waiting. Such anticipation!

I'm assuming from the question that they don't necessarily serve champagne there.

Nope.

Have you ever had problems with stalkers?

Absolutely. I usually had to have someone walk me to my car

Shit! Does it ever interfere with your private life?

it did for a while, but I have not been a stripper for about 6 years now. I'm an open book about it now, everyone who I am close to knows I did it.

Do you prefer being called a dancer or stripper?

These goddamn strippers!

I was technically a nude dancer, since I never "stripped" anything. I was naked 100% of the time. Oh man I didn't know there was another person on here doing an AMA!

So you came out on stage naked?

Yes, there were always between 3 and 4 of us on the stage at any given time.

What is your dream job?

Currently living it, I'm a professional photographer and personal stylist now(yes I know, even with that haircut).

Were a lot of the dancers on drugs? If so what was their drug of choice.

Yes i would say so, but it was pretty hush hush. Of the ones I knew, it seemed coke, crack and meth were the most popular. I did have a drug problem when i worked there and I was severely into cocaine.

Not trying to entrap you or start a fight.

What kind of relationship do you have with your parents? Do you like your dad? What's your best and worst memory from your childhood?

Lol, no it's totally ok, I'm a huge walking cliche.

My parents were pastors. Like "Jesus Camp" crazy pastors. They aren't any more though and we have a wonderful relationship now that they've left the church, but yes, I battled with my father most of my life. It was usually over some ridiculous religion bullshit. And trying to control every part of my life. i went to church 4-5 times a week and wasn't really allowed a lot of friends or to do anything. i was kicked out at age 15. I made a lot of poor choices, as did my family, but we all learned and grew from it. All my positive memories of my father have only been in the very recent years, I didn't have it the worst in the world as far as my upbringing, but I didn't have it easy either.

I take it they don't teach sexy dancing at Jesus Camp. Are you a natural, or did you have a mentor?

Indeed they do not at those kinds of camps. But they teach regular dance and my mother was in the ballet and taught me. I can do just about any type of dance, so sexy dancing came quite easily to me.

Who was responsible for those amazing signs? Is there a compendium of them? I always thought they were so witty and it always makes me sad that they're gone!

Everyone who worked there. Sometimes even customers would come up with a good one! I'm sad that it's gone too....

Any regulars? If so any special/weird ones?

Yeah tons, I already wrote about the weirdest one earlier in the comments http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1a3awq/i_am_a_former_dancer_from_the_lusty_lady_in/c8tpb8s

What kind of customers were your favorite to perform for? And if I were to come to the Lusty Lady, what would you consider to be proper etiquette?

I actually had a favorite regular. He was the only one there who figured out I was also the girl working the front counter. Admittedly one of the reasons he was my favorite is he gave me free drugs when i was working the front, but he also gave me tips when I was up there. He'd come and see me all the time and pay a lot of money in the private booth. He was genuinely a nice guy, and respectful of me as a person and dancer, well as respectful as you can be with your dick in your hand jacking off in front of me.

And I don't think proper etiquette exists there.

wait i just saw a post that was a pic from the lusty lady's sign

Yep, I left a comment and people asked me to do an AMA.

Question...have you ever thought about getting into porn? As I understand it, Gianna Michaels and Claudia Kelly are both from Seattle.

I was asked several times, but it's just not for me. Even more so now that I've moved on with my life, have a full time career and a family.

Whats the most effective pickup line i could use on you. Id like something super effective.

I've heard them all before, give me shy and awkward any day. I melt for guys like that.

Any of the PNW's notorious serial killers stroll in there before?

Most likely, but no one I ever recognized.

Anyone famous that you or the other girls recognized?

I never saw anyone famous :/ It wasn't the kind of place to draw in celebrity types.

I never saw anyone famous :/ It wasn't the kind of place to draw in celebrity types.

What advice would you give someone considering becoming a stripper/dancer?

Really research the place you are looking to dance at, see how the staff is treated, how the dancers are treated. And pepper spray.

Did you ever have to use pepper spray on anyone?

Plenty of times.

... where did you hide it?

I don't take it on stage with me!

Anytime we'd see a show at the Showbox Market we'd drunkingly stumble down to the Lusty Lady. Huge fan of quarters in, titties out.

Did you prefer dancing in front of the 2 way mirror, or where the customers could see you?

It didn't make a huge difference to me, after working there a while your eyes sort of "adjust" and you can somewhat see the person anyway, even more so when they'd try to take a photo and their phone or camera would light up their big stupid face.

Why do an AMAA instead of an AMA? It seems like you've held nothing back

I actually meant "Ask me Absolutely Anything" I just brain farted. I'll answer pretty much everything.

did you ever meet any celebrities and are there any fun stories that followed?

Oh no, I've never seen anyone famous in there sadly.

Hi

Hello.

Music time...Can you tell me your top 5 bands theses days?

Oh man, top 5? I'd have to say Tom Waits, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Ours, Graveyard Train and Queens of the Stone Age.

Approved. Now I get to check out Ours and Graveyard Train. Looking forward to the new QTOSA? I know I am.

Graveyard Train is a horror country band from Australia and here is a music video to check out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pj6Q0xRW5bQ I love them so much! And Ours is fronted by Jimmy Gnecco, probably one of my all time favorite singers, such a talent. And hell yes I can't wait!

Ever feel any sympathy for the bank teller counting the 1's ;) EDIT: asked before mystery stated multiple times that she was paid hourly.

haha I would have if I got paid that way, I got paychecks!

You didn't get tips on stage??

There was glass in between us and the customers

I once asked a pretty girl if she was a waitress ( just trying to small talk ) her stony faced NO taught me to never ask that question again LOL

Huh, seems like a bit of an overreaction to me. What's wrong being a waitress?

Has any one tried to advance upon you without your permission?^Rape

Yeah but it never got beyond a grope before they were tackled to the ground or kicked in the nuts.

Oh, oh..... One more question!

Do you regret the "bad haircut" haircut? I mean, to be fair... it isn't very flattering.

I rocked the fuck out of that haircut, but I feel the photo is not as flattering as the haircut really was on me. http://i.imgur.com/NicDXq4.jpg

But that's just me, I can't expect everyone to like it. It's all good.

Did a customer pay for a booth by the hour? How long did someone usually stay?

It was paid for by minutes, 5 dollars for the first 5 minutes. The more money they put in, the better of a show they got.

Would you say more or less people should become strippers?

I think that if you want to become a stripper, do so, just do your research and protect yourself. If you don't want to be a stripper, then don't become one. Whatever makes you happy. I found being a dancer was empowering, as cliche as it sounds, and a wonderful learning experience. But it's not for everyone.

Have you ever read Bare: The Naked Truth about Stripping? The author used to work at the Lusty.

If so, do you feel her take on it was accurate?

I have not, but I've considered reading it! I have skimmed through the Lusty Lady picture book that Erika Langley made while working there and had it published. http://www.amazon.com/The-Lusty-Lady-Erika-Langley/dp/3931141594

Would you rather fight a horse-sized stripper or a hundred stripper-sized horses?

Hundred stripper sized horses for sure, that sounds way more exciting.

Did you ever work at Caffe Minnie's? I could've sworn there was a chick with that same haircut waiting tables there about 10 years ago.

No I never worked there, but I hung out there a lot 10 years ago.

Did you like being a sex symbol? Iv always imagine it would be intensely awkward to have a group of people looking at me and thinking about doing sexy things to me.

I enjoyed dancing, but mostly because it was somewhat empowering to be in front of people, naked and dancing around. I didn't really go into thinking about all the things they were thinking about doing to me. I'm not naive to it, I definitely know, but there was no point in dwelling on that part.

All I have to say is what the fuck happened from picture one to three? I dont get why someone intentionally makes themsekves look ugly and freaky as hell when a number us us just try to look normal. It simply boggles my mind.

I think we all see beauty as something different. Normal is just a setting on the dryer.

In the words of Mortica Addams, "What is normal for the spider, is chaos to the fly."
