Day Strippers

While you're at work, Miami's exotic dancers put on a naked lunch.

A A A Comments (8) By Janine Zeitlin Thursday, Jul 24 2008

...continued from page 5

She hated men, she says, even before she got into stripping, after a relationship rife with betrayal. Through dancing, she has gained confidence.

"There's nothing I can't do now," she asserts. "I can walk up to just about anybody or stand in the middle of the stage and say whatever I want and not need to be like, 'Imagine the crowd is naked.' I'm standing here naked. Who gives a shit!"

If men are willing to dole out dollars on their lunch breaks, she's willing to take them. "I dance because I enjoy it, not because you're watching me."

But, sitting before me, Kamren has an expression as glum as the one she wears onstage. She gathers her long, wavy hair with her hand and sweeps it down her back. Legs crossed, she flits a high-heeled foot like she's waiting for the next Greyhound bus out.

I mentioned THOUGHT CONTROL in my last comment which should be amended to read MIND CONTROL which covers all thoughts, feelings, beliefs and memories! Wanna be a robot? Then go along with those cowards and hypocrites and watch your humanness disappear which is what they ultimately want. STAY FREE!

As your consumate dirty old man at 68, I still get off on nude strippers and we have a lot of nude strip clubs in California where I can go to whenever I want to and Goddammit, I'm not ashamed of myself in any way! Who knows? Those scalled "puritans" who know that they are first-rate hypocrites who love to throw their weight around would just love to bring about THOUGHT CONTROL against all of us and if they achieve that end, watch out! Socialism cannot be very far behind if it's not already here! You be the judge!

Loads of jobs to exotic dancers are in today. In topless bikini dancing remember this; keep eye contact with your partner and be confident. More tips? Here is it http://www.danceinmacau.asia/

Strip clubs are good for lonely men, those who are terminally single, or dont know anyone in the city. Oddly enough, if every man had a date, girlfriend, lover, wife, etc, whom they were happy with, strip clubs would go out of business. of course, this is an unlikely scenario.

A strip club gives both the man and the woman an opportunity to have a relationship that is defined even prior to their meeting. He's there for pussy and she's there for money. The relationship only goes south when either party believes what the other one is saying.

Dear Janine Zeitlin, I would have preferred that your article had some sort of conclusion, a moral to the story, a wrap-up, or at least a clear ending. The article just, well, stopped, as if a page or two went missing.

Dear Janine Zeitlin, I am an African American woman thats 5'6 about 135lbs with a joyous smile and athletic body type. I'm only on the fourth page of your article but I wanted to share some of my experiences at strip clubs. I have been dancing on and off since the Aug of 2005. I am currently working in retail and I dance when I'm not to tired or lazy. I have a hefty balance left to pay on my Florida A&M student account and I have accumulated about 85 credits. People say that college is always something to fall back on. College is not the only thing a person can fall back on. I have used dancing and am still using dancing as a method for cash on the spot. The hiring process of a dancer is simple one form of identification and good to moderate looks. I don't hate dancing I may get frustrated doing it sometimes when the money is difficult to make. Dancing has paid my rent, it paid fee overages that my Florida prepaid tuition did not cover, it paid for bud light and good times with friends. It may not be a career field that gives you a retirement plan but it can help when you have bills to pay. I have been on both sides of the fence at strip clubs. I have been the entertainer and customer. I have enjoyed watching the dancers that did amazing pole tricks. The men being dragged on stage and humiliated at Tootsies is always fun to see. I guess what the picture that I am trying to illustrate for you is that not every one is unhappy being a dancer. I think you should always have some sort of respect for the things that provide for you. I do not think that dancers should respect the drunk idiots or just plain idiot customers. I just believe that sometimes you should be thankful for the venue that gives you the opportunity to earn money. Sincerely not an unhappy dancer. Jena p.s.
