Speaker 1: girl Mandy be and I'm Wheezy, and we have a
Speaker 1: very special guest today thanks to um James, one of
Speaker 1: my friends from episode was twenty nine. I don't know.
Speaker 1: James lives in Florida. He hits me up today, sends
Speaker 1: me an article about you and he's like, yo, y'all
Speaker 1: gotta have this girl on the show. So I'm like, nah,
Speaker 1: like I'm reading it helpins in posts and why this
Speaker 1: blah blah blah ain't coming. The second I told you,
Speaker 1: She's like yes, where I was like so happy, um,
Speaker 1: And it was a huge tagline about um, you guys
Speaker 1: have maybe seeing the stripper strike or star tenders versus strippers,
Speaker 1: and it's funny a lot of our listeners have actually
Speaker 1: wanted us to bring a stripper or adult dancer on
Speaker 1: the show, even though we talk about a lot of
Speaker 1: sex and technically what you do isn't sex. It's okay,
Speaker 1: I like that, So we've had people wanted to bring
Speaker 1: you on. So I think it's this is super fitting
Speaker 1: for I'm gonna tell you was worried about having a
Speaker 1: stripper and we had a point star and she was
Speaker 1: so dope and she loved her job. I was worried
Speaker 1: about a stripper coming on and making all strippers look
Speaker 1: bad because I didn't want her to be like I
Speaker 1: did this and I just spend my money on Like
Speaker 1: I just scared, We're gonna find this ratchet Instagram stripper
Speaker 1: that just one ship. Now, please but explain to me
Speaker 1: that what is But you know, she's her own individual. Well,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say this. We have a lot of people
Speaker 1: that listens, and I don't want them to ever judge.
Speaker 1: And I feel like if you bring someone on that's
Speaker 1: not articulate and that's talking ship and it's just being
Speaker 1: a little too crazy and whatever, you'd be surprised how
Speaker 1: many educated strippers are there. But I don't think that's
Speaker 1: the strippers that we ever get to see or what
Speaker 1: we think. Yeah, we do have a really big stigma,
Speaker 1: so right, but at the end of the day, was
Speaker 1: still human. So I'm pretty sure you could find a
Speaker 1: lot of There's a lot of them, and I think that, well,
Speaker 1: you never know who I mean, and I'm friends with
Speaker 1: a lot of girls, and that's the thing, you know,
Speaker 1: we could have brought someone on. It was just frankly
Speaker 1: like whack. And that's what I was kind worried about.
Speaker 1: So to read about you and your activism and what
Speaker 1: you're doing, it is activism. And as much as people
Speaker 1: want to say like it's I've seen a lot of
Speaker 1: shitty comments about this, of course, and um, this is activism.
Speaker 1: It's woman's rights, female rights, equal rights. I mean, I
Speaker 1: think it's amazing. Um, So I want to dig into
Speaker 1: what that is. But that's why I'm just so pleased
Speaker 1: that out of any adult entertainment we could have had
Speaker 1: on that strips that it's you. So I'm really happy
Speaker 1: and thank you for coming. So yeah, tell our listeners
Speaker 1: your name and my name is Jessoe Marie. Um, I'm
Speaker 1: a stripper in New York. You know, I roll because yeah,
Speaker 1: because I'm a little bit upset with New York. But
Speaker 1: you know, they're not understanding, but now they are. You
Speaker 1: know why I'm pushing so hard for you know, in
Speaker 1: the beginning, it was something that was a joke to people,
Speaker 1: and I was really serious. You know, people have their
Speaker 1: own like, um, I say, they feel like I did
Speaker 1: this for attention. It wasn't really about attention. It was
Speaker 1: really about what people need to understand and be aware
Speaker 1: of what we go through. Yeah, well not only that,
Speaker 1: what stripping is how you put food on the table
Speaker 1: and how you pay your bills. And it's your job.
Speaker 1: And it's crazy because people don't look at other strikes
Speaker 1: that way. If people, if unions are out fighting for
Speaker 1: higher pay, pair wages and everything like that. So for
Speaker 1: you to say that people took it as a joke,
Speaker 1: it's like people still have to realize it's still a
Speaker 1: job at the end of the day, you know. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I actually recently was talking to a girl that dances
Speaker 1: and we were talking about her maternity leave and she
Speaker 1: was talking about ready. We had this conversation so well,
Speaker 1: I yeah you feel Yeah. Well I was talking to
Speaker 1: her and I was just like, actually, she was asking
Speaker 1: me these questions kind of like PTO and maternity leave,
Speaker 1: and I was like, strippers are like an individual like subcontractors,
Speaker 1: their independent contract. So there's no benefits attached to You're
Speaker 1: using your body. Yeah you know that. No, no, but
Speaker 1: that's the same as if if I'm a bartender, because
Speaker 1: I have bartender for seven years, if I'm a bartender,
Speaker 1: and I agreed to make tips. With at minimum wage
Speaker 1: plus tips, I don't get benefits. Bartenders don't give benefits
Speaker 1: unless you work for like a hotel. If I'm working
Speaker 1: at a club, if I choose to work in that,
Speaker 1: in that environment, I'm not getting benefits. I understand that
Speaker 1: they don't know. What I'm saying is that to me
Speaker 1: makes no sense. She puts herself more at risk than
Speaker 1: I do. Sitting at a desk all day. She's using
Speaker 1: her yeah, her body right and her mind. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's a lot more physical work. Not to mention like
Speaker 1: I'm just I don't really interact with as many people
Speaker 1: as she does. Like you, You're way more at risk
Speaker 1: physical harm from other people, not just to what she
Speaker 1: could do herself from dancing and doing work. I think
Speaker 1: that I think it's more so looking into the line
Speaker 1: of just being an independent contractor period, because you could
Speaker 1: be doing construction, you could be working at an office.
Speaker 1: If you're an independent contractor, you don't even like nine
Speaker 1: times out of ten, you're responsible even for your own taxes.
Speaker 1: So I think it's more of a look into deciding
Speaker 1: to be an independent contract and the benefits that you've
Speaker 1: received at that. More so, I think than stripping. The
Speaker 1: reason I guess, like to me, I feel like strippers
Speaker 1: deserve more benefits is because if I'm employed by a
Speaker 1: certain company, whether let's say it's Starletts, I feel like
Speaker 1: certain strip clubs should be protecting their employees better, Like
Speaker 1: just think about physical harm from men when stripping, or
Speaker 1: like them getting too aggressive and abrasive. Like I feel
Speaker 1: like if I'm putting my self on the line and
Speaker 1: niggas is coming to see me and I'm making money
Speaker 1: for you, you need to have more protection for me
Speaker 1: and women don't have that. It's funny though, I worked
Speaker 1: at Starlett's and a lot of these clubs, girl, they
Speaker 1: knew my Instagram and my nickname. I didn't sign any paper,
Speaker 1: they didn't have my social didn't know my address. I
Speaker 1: came in there and worked. I worked Friday, Thursday, Friday,
Speaker 1: and Saturday nights the nights with no promoter, with with
Speaker 1: the promoters, and they knew my instagram. But we were
Speaker 1: in a group. Because that's kinds yourself a lot of
Speaker 1: I mean, dude, what if you got in a fight
Speaker 1: or someone hits you over ahead with something a fucking
Speaker 1: bar fight in Starletts. What if that happen. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: don't get You're not gonna get used at the club.
Speaker 1: I'm working for you. I'm making this money for you.
Speaker 1: I deserve some kind of fucking benefits or secure even
Speaker 1: glass breaking on the floor and you actually accidentally like
Speaker 1: kneeling down and getting cut for picking up your money.
Speaker 1: You know you get nothing for that, right. That's especially
Speaker 1: when you're the reason that people come to the clubs.
Speaker 1: I think I don't eve a independent contract or not.
Speaker 1: I think that more clubs need to be giving some
Speaker 1: of these girls insurance ship like that. And I also
Speaker 1: had this argument too with a friend's boyfriend was like, bullshit,
Speaker 1: you want to do that job? Blah. I agree with
Speaker 1: a boyfriend. I agree with a boyfriend on that. To
Speaker 1: me as and like I said, I tried dancing one time.
Speaker 1: It wasn't for me, but I still stayed in the
Speaker 1: clubs and bar attended and I chose, which is why
Speaker 1: my dad always was like, it's not a real job.
Speaker 1: He said, it wasn't a real job, Like let me
Speaker 1: know when you get a real job. Because I was
Speaker 1: choosing to make cash every night instead of filling out
Speaker 1: a W nine and letting them know all of my
Speaker 1: tax information and stuff like that. To me, it is
Speaker 1: a choice. And to me, it's not an industry that's
Speaker 1: gonna change. I don't think. Um, I mean you're working
Speaker 1: changes within the industry. It's just it's something that has
Speaker 1: to be unified within the whole country. You know. Like
Speaker 1: certain clubs, like in other cities, they do pay their dancers.
Speaker 1: They I'm not really sure about what the benefits. I know, Um,
Speaker 1: what was it uma that club? Is that not all
Speaker 1: spinning RNAL pays there? Um, well that's good. Their their
Speaker 1: dancers too, And then do you know what they pay
Speaker 1: them or how that wage? You know? Okay, so and
Speaker 1: if it's a tipped minimum wage, so nine times out
Speaker 1: of time, it would be about five dollars an hour
Speaker 1: because their minimum wage now it's probably higher because at
Speaker 1: the time when I last checked it was like this
Speaker 1: was like a couple of years ago. When I was dancing,
Speaker 1: it was like seven seven something. It's like a but
Speaker 1: that makes sense because I mean, what if like there's
Speaker 1: a few slow hours are coming earlier and I'm not
Speaker 1: making money. I'm just really sitting here there right. Um, well,
Speaker 1: let's start before because we get into like all the
Speaker 1: questions we have for you about that. We have an
Speaker 1: icebreaker just to get to know you a little bit,
Speaker 1: and I'm sorry if it feels little much. He would
Speaker 1: you rather? He asked? Or like toes? Damn? This is
Speaker 1: a common question too, that with who though male or female? Oh?
Speaker 1: Because did your answer different for both? I don't know,
Speaker 1: all right? What if it was female? Asked? I don't
Speaker 1: do toast? I don't I would. Oh, it's asked both ways,
Speaker 1: you asked, Yeah. But the toad thing, yeah, he is
Speaker 1: just the fact that we would rather lick something that
Speaker 1: ship comes out of over the wait, Alex, you know
Speaker 1: why because you could you could actually wipe and clean
Speaker 1: it before. I think people don't clean their feet before
Speaker 1: they have that's a good I don't think that if
Speaker 1: you shower like you on the floor, like I mean,
Speaker 1: you're in your shoes all days technically, like that makes
Speaker 1: me feel like you're gonna kill me. Like, yeah, feet
Speaker 1: are really bad, especially when you deal with tall guys.
Speaker 1: I'm just scared. Feet are bad and not and I
Speaker 1: think especially with men, they don't keep up with their
Speaker 1: feet as much. Like I know men who will get
Speaker 1: like manicures and hands. But I don't know many men
Speaker 1: that keep up with their feet the way women keep
Speaker 1: up with Honest, we don't even have to do with
Speaker 1: this or that I'm gonna eat as period. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't know about that. I actually do it without having
Speaker 1: an option, So this sounds pretty crazy. I actually got
Speaker 1: this one from BuzzFeed. Would you rather watch your parents
Speaker 1: have sex every day for the rest of your life
Speaker 1: or join in one time to stop it? It's a
Speaker 1: crazy question. Where do these people? But uh, oh my god,
Speaker 1: that's picturing it now. I think I would actually just
Speaker 1: watch it every day. Yeah, I didn't have to get
Speaker 1: in there. I'll probably be sick. But with anybody going
Speaker 1: to stop it, I don't think I can wait sex
Speaker 1: with my parents my dad, it's not even an option. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know how the assistance would work. It's funny.
Speaker 1: I really have one that I didn't get to go through.
Speaker 1: And so this is also um in remembrance of Safari
Speaker 1: and what just happened with his with his nude So
Speaker 1: and it's actually kind of matches your question. So would
Speaker 1: you rather have a nude leak to I G or
Speaker 1: accidentally send your mom a video of you masturbating a
Speaker 1: nude to really? So you were rather the whole world
Speaker 1: feeling a leak nude than your mama who shot you
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't care, I see it. I want
Speaker 1: to say, this is a woman that is an adult
Speaker 1: entertainer that just said I G. And then we have
Speaker 1: someone else who works for the government that just said
Speaker 1: nude on I G. Two, realie, what about you? I
Speaker 1: mean your mom? I feel like a could be like,
Speaker 1: I'd rather my mom see a video with you masturbating.
Speaker 1: I mean, my mama didn't see my pus. She used
Speaker 1: the white a sexual I don't know, like seeing bro.
Speaker 1: Our mom's came to our lives. We talked about some
Speaker 1: ship playing myself. I'd rather have my good I don't know.
Speaker 1: To me, me sending that to my mom would be like, okay, mom,
Speaker 1: delete that, don't watch it. To me if if my
Speaker 1: nude ends up on idea the whole world see my
Speaker 1: moves or something like that, like that's different but actually massinating,
Speaker 1: And then the should I'd be saying in the videos,
Speaker 1: I mean, look what you did. I mean, I'd be
Speaker 1: talking to him like you make the caption this one's crazy?
Speaker 1: Would you rather have sex with a horse and nobody
Speaker 1: knew or not do it and everybody thinks you did.
Speaker 1: I rather let people think I did. I'm sorry, that's
Speaker 1: too much of a really thinking over there, because like
Speaker 1: how do you have sex with no? But I mean yes,
Speaker 1: I couldn't say that a woman. I understand. But you
Speaker 1: got you got a haul on the bag? Oh? Or
Speaker 1: what about you? You can you can suck a horse?
Speaker 1: Next question, Okay, I do have one more question. What
Speaker 1: is the weirdest thing that a customer has ever asked
Speaker 1: you or said to you? The weirdest thing or something
Speaker 1: that was just like what the are you felt super
Speaker 1: uncomfortable or honestly, I don't, I don't. They never really
Speaker 1: asked me anything. But the other day recently, I could
Speaker 1: tell you my my friend's situation. She got act to
Speaker 1: go into a VP room with a guy. You know,
Speaker 1: the VP rooms it's like secluded whatever. They have those
Speaker 1: up here, not here. This was in Detroit. This is
Speaker 1: an interesting We know they're in Detroit. I know it
Speaker 1: was like that there, but hey, you know, but when
Speaker 1: she went into the back room, you know, she thought
Speaker 1: she was going to get a dance from him and
Speaker 1: whatever I mean she was she thought she was gonna
Speaker 1: dance for him, and you know, he kind of like
Speaker 1: requested and sit down, I want to dance for you.
Speaker 1: So he started dancing for her and she got freaked
Speaker 1: out because she was like, was he white? He was Arabic? Oh,
Speaker 1: that would have scared any more. Wait, do you know
Speaker 1: how he was dancing. He wasn't like taking, No, he
Speaker 1: was taking. He's being like a strip and he was
Speaker 1: actually getting off on that. He wasn't joking and trying
Speaker 1: to make her laugh. She was freaked out. I would
Speaker 1: have been free. So she laughed her through. I mean,
Speaker 1: but that would have been easy for her. Yeah, she
Speaker 1: made money a lot of bit. But she was just like,
Speaker 1: I never experienced something like that, So I thought that
Speaker 1: was funny to bring that is kind of scary. That
Speaker 1: funny how basically he's like no, like the dude basically
Speaker 1: on the street and it was like, yo, nice ass.
Speaker 1: I'd be like, oh my god, wann asshole. But if
Speaker 1: he was like nice toes, I'd be so oh my
Speaker 1: god all the time though, or even your nose like gyppy,
Speaker 1: I guess that all the time. Like guys they love
Speaker 1: looking at toos. They want to see they'll literally lift
Speaker 1: your your boot up from like, put your foot on
Speaker 1: the bar, I want to see your feet. Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: there's girls that get their feet's massaged in the clubs too.
Speaker 1: Guys really like, it's crazy that it's number one. It's
Speaker 1: crazy that women don't like feet half as much. They'd
Speaker 1: be surprised. I've seen some videos of some of these instagrams. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've seen it. Her little cousin had a video like
Speaker 1: spread around in high school for sucking toes and I
Speaker 1: was like, oh, so I'd rather be sucking dick than
Speaker 1: toes on Instagram, Like, honestly, you would rather be caught
Speaker 1: sucking a dick than toes. Yeah, I'd rather be caught
Speaker 1: because you ain't about to get me in. It's actually combarrassing.
Speaker 1: If I stuck, that's weird. It's from my private selection
Speaker 1: and that's all I got to explain. But if I'm
Speaker 1: stucking feet, I gotta explain why the feet were. I
Speaker 1: don't explain why dick was in my mouth, but I
Speaker 1: need to feel like why this high school we were
Speaker 1: playing truth to dare? No, I mean like today, present day, today,
Speaker 1: the day we still play truth or dare? That could
Speaker 1: still be a dare You get hired for a top,
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, you know, I had revenge porn done.
Speaker 1: It was awful. I had to sue blah blah. But
Speaker 1: if they saw the day, it's like, oh wow. But
Speaker 1: then the feet they're like, she's a terrible person. I
Speaker 1: don't know, You're you're looking like, yeah, me too. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: I can't be. So every week we do a kink
Speaker 1: of the week where it could be either a really
Speaker 1: hard word that's something normal that we like, like asphyxiation,
Speaker 1: is choking or whatever. This week it's a simple word,
Speaker 1: but I wanted to talk about it because I think
Speaker 1: we kind of use it every day. It's called age play,
Speaker 1: and it's a type of fetish fetishistic role where people
Speaker 1: pretend to be substantially older or younger than they are.
Speaker 1: And so I've never really thought about this, and I
Speaker 1: don't do that, and I've said daddy, but I don't
Speaker 1: know if I've ever acted younger than I want. Well,
Speaker 1: you know, it's kind of kind of weird, like in
Speaker 1: the ship clubs, you know, some men kind of fetish
Speaker 1: young women, So you know, the older you are, you
Speaker 1: have to kind of play that little young girl. Like
Speaker 1: now that you bring that up, I did just change
Speaker 1: my age on sinking arrangement because I feel like they
Speaker 1: want younger girl, so I just changed it to three
Speaker 1: even seven. But I just know that older men don't
Speaker 1: like more mature women, like yeah, yeah, even over. I
Speaker 1: actually like playing the cougar a little bit too. Sometimes
Speaker 1: I switch roles. Yeah, do you want me like I
Speaker 1: like the young I'll be thirty girl. You can't be
Speaker 1: a son like to like twenty one year old, you know,
Speaker 1: because they fantasize about one like the first time in
Speaker 1: the strip club, and they like older women, they do, they,
Speaker 1: which is what I deal with younger guys. But um,
Speaker 1: I've used the cougar term and was told that cougar
Speaker 1: actually refers to I guess thirty five. It does, But
Speaker 1: I mean I'm saying as in an act of a cougar,
Speaker 1: you know, Like I can see that though. Yeah, Like
Speaker 1: I've never been attracted to the young guys, but I
Speaker 1: could see me like playing around and being like so
Speaker 1: I get yeah, I get both. So it's fun to do.
Speaker 1: Are you more of like a submissive or dominant person within?
Speaker 1: Do you think? Well? At work or work or my life.
Speaker 1: I'm a submissive woman in my normal life, but at work,
Speaker 1: I'm more dominant. Really, I could believe that. I could
Speaker 1: definitely believe that I see that have to be aggressive
Speaker 1: that I actually wanted to ask you too. And we're
Speaker 1: about to get into this, but since it's on topic,
Speaker 1: do you feel like you're someone completely different? And do
Speaker 1: you do you play a role when you go to work?
Speaker 1: Like is it literally like you're It just depends on
Speaker 1: what club you're working in, because there's different types of clubs.
Speaker 1: There's more of the traditional clubs and then we have
Speaker 1: the urban clubs where it's more about hip hop and
Speaker 1: you know, um and stuff like that, tricks on the
Speaker 1: pole and stuff. Why can you tell like, um, listeners
Speaker 1: like that maybe are visiting New York or whatever. Like
Speaker 1: I'm used to Southern strip clubs, King of Diamonds, like
Speaker 1: going in Atlanta. Not any of that here. And I
Speaker 1: know I've never been sister club here except for like
Speaker 1: sometimes you're not going to get anything here? But why
Speaker 1: is it so different? Like what is the culture of
Speaker 1: New York strip? Yeah? That yeah, well there's one there's
Speaker 1: one club that's nude and that's um, what's that called
Speaker 1: Damns and Queens? No, it's not show palace, palace after
Speaker 1: hour spo, right, yeah, and so like, but no even
Speaker 1: the thing of like the way they dance like, but
Speaker 1: I think in the in the South, it's more about
Speaker 1: your going like it's like it's a show. They actually
Speaker 1: like learned tricks on the poles. You want to know something, Yes,
Speaker 1: they actually do. It's just they're not being respected the
Speaker 1: way they should, like that's what I'm saying, Like they
Speaker 1: change the demographic of how traditional ship clubs should be
Speaker 1: now because now they based in it off of bartenders.
Speaker 1: So it's like a lot of the pole dancers are
Speaker 1: leaving because they're not being appreciated. So that's why people
Speaker 1: are like, oh, we don't see pole dancers. And when
Speaker 1: I see girls doing poll tricks and people don't take them,
Speaker 1: it pisses me because what they do is a girl art.
Speaker 1: Are actually gonna say there's I've lived. I have such
Speaker 1: a respect for them. And I know one pole dancer
Speaker 1: and I've worked in strip clubs up here and des Monique, Yes,
Speaker 1: she is amazing what she does in the art, and
Speaker 1: she worked in the city for a very long time
Speaker 1: and I know, I don't know if she bounces around clubs,
Speaker 1: she she spoke. She spoke up in the beginning of
Speaker 1: the of the stripper strike too. She spoke amazing and
Speaker 1: you know, and she you know, she spoke how she felt.
Speaker 1: And I as a stripper, and because I did both,
Speaker 1: but as a stripper, I'm on full support of strippers
Speaker 1: all the way because what we do. We have different
Speaker 1: positions in these clubs. Girls that sit at the bar,
Speaker 1: there's girls that do lap dances, you know, and then
Speaker 1: you know they have the pole dancers, and they need
Speaker 1: the most respect out of all of us because what
Speaker 1: they do is real labor, Like they need to get paid.
Speaker 1: A horrible decision this week, if you haven't noticed, is stripping. Um, yeah,
Speaker 1: I want to start digging into this. Actually, so you
Speaker 1: just said there's different positions. I feel like we all
Speaker 1: have a position to play depending on what you're good at,
Speaker 1: you know, Like the girl that sits at the bar
Speaker 1: and just talk to customers. That's some girls, that's how
Speaker 1: they make their money years ago. Yeah, And just why
Speaker 1: I love rivieras because I used to break here. I
Speaker 1: used to literally just sit down at the bar and
Speaker 1: a customer will come and just I'll just literally sit
Speaker 1: down here'll shower at me like a thousand dollars like nothing,
Speaker 1: or I can go on stage or sit down, I
Speaker 1: mean like sit down with him for like a good
Speaker 1: hour or something. I'll go on stage and then he'll
Speaker 1: shower me. You know, it's changed over the years too
Speaker 1: with that. But you know, then you have to pull dancers.
Speaker 1: You knew their tricks and stuff at that, and these
Speaker 1: girls that do lap dances and stuff like that. Now
Speaker 1: we have this thing where these girls aren't doing that anymore.
Speaker 1: It's more like they're losing the strip club addicacy of
Speaker 1: being a stripper. Right now, they're doing this strike well
Speaker 1: right now, it's basically a movement UM based off of
Speaker 1: UM fighting against the mistreatment of the dancers. You know. Um,
Speaker 1: we do deal with a lot, you know, but it's
Speaker 1: also within us too. We have to do it change
Speaker 1: within us. So UM. You know, I started it like
Speaker 1: a few months back where you know, I was coming
Speaker 1: from DC. I made a lot of money, and I was,
Speaker 1: you know, on my Instagram being nosy because dancers tend
Speaker 1: to event on their social media and people don't really
Speaker 1: pay attention. We all bet we all say little things
Speaker 1: and we'll have conversations with our fans and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: But it was to a point where it was just
Speaker 1: like I noticed something that happened at Starlett's. A lot
Speaker 1: of girls were event thinking about something that happened at Starletts.
Speaker 1: I have a stuff, you knows. I'm sorry, Um yeah, so, um,
Speaker 1: something happened at Startus where supposedly, um, a hundred thousand
Speaker 1: dollars was throw own and a lot of dancers didn't
Speaker 1: make a lot of money that night. I don't know,
Speaker 1: but the bart had has made most of the money,
Speaker 1: and it was a real fight, hassle, like to get
Speaker 1: to the money. And I had to go and look
Speaker 1: at the videos from that night because when they were
Speaker 1: venting about it, I said, this is ridiculous, Like a
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars can't be spread around the building. I
Speaker 1: don't understand, Like, there's so many talented dancers, there's so
Speaker 1: many beautiful women. You need to tell me you couldn't,
Speaker 1: you know, support a dancer around And this was just
Speaker 1: exclusively a certain group of guys that did that, you
Speaker 1: know too, And they did it to the dancers. No,
Speaker 1: they they were throwing it at the bartenders supposedly. But
Speaker 1: I think it's not a difficult thing too with New
Speaker 1: York clubs. So even and I worked at Starlets m
Speaker 1: maybe for three years, three or four years ago. Um.
Speaker 1: The issue too, I think more so is the location
Speaker 1: of the stage being in the middle of the barn
Speaker 1: because because and I'll say, and this was in the
Speaker 1: this is the issue as well. And I'll say, because
Speaker 1: I saw the bar, So you can't sit at the stage. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you can sit at the bar. Oh no, you're not
Speaker 1: even allowed to sit at the bar anymore. The dancers
Speaker 1: are allowed to sit at the bar. They're they're making
Speaker 1: it very difficult for dancers to make their money because
Speaker 1: white black whatever they're telling me, the dancers can, they
Speaker 1: cannot know they cannot. That comes to listen exactly. That's
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. They're changing the demographic of how we
Speaker 1: make our money. They're making it harder for us to
Speaker 1: make our money. We were in a traditional club because
Speaker 1: supposedly it's for the patients. They sell bottles at the barn,
Speaker 1: which is ridiculous, which is why you're even getting the
Speaker 1: bottle servers like at Charlott's. I don't believe they have
Speaker 1: bottle servers anymore. They have they have like I don't
Speaker 1: know if you guys maybe understand um when she's saying
Speaker 1: that it was being thrown at the bartenders, or if
Speaker 1: you don't know what that means. Some of you will,
Speaker 1: some of you won't, but I do want to read this.
Speaker 1: This is a Washington Post article. Um, and the main
Speaker 1: question I had about this was our Instagram models ruining
Speaker 1: the strip club. And here is a quote I got
Speaker 1: from the Washington Post. Um, the shift began about five
Speaker 1: years ago, which is when the Instagram models and quotation
Speaker 1: marks with large social media followings calling themselves star tenders
Speaker 1: started to be hired in the urban clubs, primarily in
Speaker 1: Queens and Brooklyn. Club promoters stopped seeking the best mixologists
Speaker 1: and just started hiring straight from Instagram based on particular
Speaker 1: kind of look and following bartenders started to resemble the strippers.
Speaker 1: They even reaped a lot more benefits um that articles
Speaker 1: from NYC strippers, writes dancers say, nearly naked bottle girl,
Speaker 1: sorry that were nearly naked bottle girls are grabbing their cash.
Speaker 1: So how do the bartenders end up sucking making more
Speaker 1: money to strippers? Well, well, basically, um, you know what's
Speaker 1: going on now from years ago? What the hupp and
Speaker 1: supposed was explaining, well, five years ago, Um, what they
Speaker 1: did was they put video vixens behind the bar. You know,
Speaker 1: years ago, these girls actually had some type of poise
Speaker 1: and structure. They knew how to carry themselves because they
Speaker 1: were just strictly coming to be a bartender. Now as
Speaker 1: opposed to back then, it's different, like now you have
Speaker 1: strippers behind the bar, so they don't want to leave
Speaker 1: that stripper mentality and become a complete bartender. They want
Speaker 1: to mix both of them. And now the clubs are
Speaker 1: allowing that, you know, so so you don't really have
Speaker 1: to be good at making drinks unfortunately, which I feel
Speaker 1: like it's really sad because how are you really running
Speaker 1: your business like like wealth enough for you to make money.
Speaker 1: Now you have these girls who don't have any type
Speaker 1: of customer service skills to be a bartender to bring
Speaker 1: these um customers out to serve them drinks and stuff
Speaker 1: like that. Now it's more like they're selling pussy. So
Speaker 1: it's because they dressed like I didn't know I went
Speaker 1: to I mean, but you can't I don't know who
Speaker 1: was a stripper, who was a girl. I mean, you
Speaker 1: can't put blame. You can't blame that on the It's
Speaker 1: not their fault. They're being told to do that, you know.
Speaker 1: That's why I'm not really that's why didn't make it
Speaker 1: about the bartenders. But you know, social media and the
Speaker 1: media kind of construed what I was trying to push.
Speaker 1: It's not about the bartenders. It's what the clubs are allowing,
Speaker 1: the misconduct between both employees, you know, towards each other
Speaker 1: as well. So let's say that they dressed like less sexier,
Speaker 1: how exactly? And like, I know how this sounds, but
Speaker 1: trust me, I'm on the side of yours. How do
Speaker 1: they take the money out of your pocket? How? Um? Well,
Speaker 1: right now, what the bartenders do is they swipe the
Speaker 1: money off the stage. A customer could be throwing money
Speaker 1: at the dancer and they'll literally jump in front of
Speaker 1: the dancer and between the dancer and the customer and
Speaker 1: kind of start working. So the money lands on the floor, Yeah,
Speaker 1: the dancing behind the bar. Yeah, but it's also to me.
Speaker 1: But there's also so you also have customers who were
Speaker 1: coming for them one or or even walking. So when
Speaker 1: I did bottle services Starlet's we were giving our outfits,
Speaker 1: we were sent a screenshot of what our office will
Speaker 1: look at night, and we had to wear them that night.
Speaker 1: When I first started, we were paying forty dollars outfit,
Speaker 1: and then by the by maybe a month in the
Speaker 1: club was paying for our outfits. So we had no
Speaker 1: saying what we wore for one and two. As we
Speaker 1: would walk around with bottles or if we were soliciting
Speaker 1: hookahs or bottles, attendance would ask us to dance for them,
Speaker 1: whether because they liked what we look like and they
Speaker 1: liked here, it's not. But at the same time, if
Speaker 1: we're sitting here making our money the same way as
Speaker 1: that means you need to use what you do as
Speaker 1: what's what's inquired for your job to make that money.
Speaker 1: So if you know how to hustle with mothah, we're
Speaker 1: gonna do that. Up sell bottles to make our tips,
Speaker 1: especially because so for our tips, if we sell like
Speaker 1: I could run four five tables, the other girl could
Speaker 1: only run bottles to one. At the end of the night,
Speaker 1: we're splitting all the money. So to me, if a
Speaker 1: guy wants me to shake a little butt or flirt
Speaker 1: with him, or I'm sitting here trying to upsetale at
Speaker 1: the end of the day, at a little, a little dances,
Speaker 1: but because they've never had a right so they're latantly
Speaker 1: taking their titties out at this point. Now really now
Speaker 1: that I haven't seen, but I will say bartenders are
Speaker 1: doing more than that. It's working the dancing that you said,
Speaker 1: but they're behind the bar, so it's not like they're
Speaker 1: touching or gyrating, which is even a problem now because
Speaker 1: if we're out there, we're getting touched on and we're
Speaker 1: not getting paid for it. How do you think that's fair?
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not fair. But there, I mean, they're
Speaker 1: like they're more leting dances to these men. They're dancing
Speaker 1: behind the ball. We don't and we know they're not
Speaker 1: giving dances because they're doing other things outside of the
Speaker 1: club anyways. So so the bartender the girls are from
Speaker 1: from the hundred thousand dollar instance that happened, so they
Speaker 1: they were taking the money was seen a video or
Speaker 1: they were they were getting the money themselves. What is
Speaker 1: the thing that happened? Because because I'm a little confused,
Speaker 1: were they taking money from? Now it's the point, Well,
Speaker 1: in the video, what was being just um, what was
Speaker 1: what I was seeing was the bartender? You know, they're
Speaker 1: off they're not on the stage. The dancer would literally
Speaker 1: have to get off the stage to pick the money up.
Speaker 1: So now it's like a battle between the dancer and
Speaker 1: the bartender because they're like literally fighting for the money
Speaker 1: because it's so much money being thrown. And you know,
Speaker 1: it's like, oh makes sense, I'm here, yeah, I want
Speaker 1: my money. But the bartenders have this thing where they
Speaker 1: swiped the money off the stage. What are you thinking
Speaker 1: right now because you're quiet. No, as a bartender, you're
Speaker 1: supposed to be tending to your bar and you're supposed
Speaker 1: to instead of dancing. Issue too, though, well this is
Speaker 1: the issue too. And I think that this is where
Speaker 1: the disconnect can come from because if I am a
Speaker 1: bartender and I'm sitting with you the whole night, we're talking,
Speaker 1: we're having a conversation, you're flirting with me. But there's
Speaker 1: a million of there's millions but but well, no, here
Speaker 1: it is. That's what they made it to me. That's
Speaker 1: what they made it to be. Guys will make you
Speaker 1: instead instead of giving a tip, but here when that's
Speaker 1: what they made it to that they made it a trend,
Speaker 1: which is actually not even a good one word at
Speaker 1: a nonstrip club. When I worked at Soby on South
Speaker 1: Beach in Miami, there would be guys they would ask
Speaker 1: us for ones to throw us our tips behind the bar.
Speaker 1: Some guys don't. You make it rain. And so that's
Speaker 1: the thing too, because where the stage is located, if
Speaker 1: if if she is a dancer and she's dancing in
Speaker 1: front of the person, I guarantee the bartender isn't gonna
Speaker 1: come from behind the bar and take her tips. Excuse
Speaker 1: me that I gotta disconnect you with that one, because
Speaker 1: what the bartenders do do is that they will tell you.
Speaker 1: They'll actually tell the customer not to tip the dancer. Now, see,
Speaker 1: that's that's a whole. And I don't think all bartenders
Speaker 1: are doing that, what not are But I don't know
Speaker 1: that texting the customer, i'd see the text we're on
Speaker 1: a stripper strike. I think it's for a reason. You're
Speaker 1: editing when you work un bartender for a long time
Speaker 1: might be different, but if there's a sucking strike, it's
Speaker 1: got to be a reason. Well no, And so Crystal,
Speaker 1: my roommate, was going to lust a lot, and she
Speaker 1: said that even as a customer, has gotten to the
Speaker 1: point where she can't enjoy it because the strippers are
Speaker 1: like it's becoming to where everyone is literally grabbing as
Speaker 1: soon as money because there there are survival mode because
Speaker 1: they can't even be they can't be strippers. They're not
Speaker 1: allowing them to do their jobs. How like, I want
Speaker 1: to read this one thing and this I don't know
Speaker 1: if these are your quotes, but I got this from
Speaker 1: having some posts when you had certain demands that were
Speaker 1: discussing you want if I read those often tell me
Speaker 1: if I'm wrong. So thesa demands and the way that
Speaker 1: you think that this is gonna be fixed, because I
Speaker 1: was just gonna ask you how we fix it? Do
Speaker 1: away with the house fees, stage fees or any mandatory tipping.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what a lot of did you? Did?
Speaker 1: You say these things? I feel like it's a collect
Speaker 1: I'm speaking for what women. These are, These are demands
Speaker 1: from women. There's I'm sing for them, and I want
Speaker 1: to ask you about from that because because I might
Speaker 1: not even know how, I have a question about that.
Speaker 1: Stop all the races hiring and firing policies on what
Speaker 1: you want and I don't care what. And that's not
Speaker 1: only an urban we're talking about in the upscale. I
Speaker 1: can't with denying them certain shifts or firing them. Allow
Speaker 1: strippers to be strippers, allow bartenders to be bartenders. They're
Speaker 1: different jobs. It's that simple. Stop body shaming policies. Don't
Speaker 1: coerce from it into plastic surgery, or require them to
Speaker 1: work out the stop contracts that control their behavior inside
Speaker 1: and outside the strip club. For example, a dancer may
Speaker 1: be forced to sign a prostitution liability documents stating that
Speaker 1: they do not meet clients outside of work. I'm what
Speaker 1: you're there, um. Stop forcing strippers to do marketing for
Speaker 1: you and exploitive or invasive ways like offering dancers a
Speaker 1: discount on their house fees in exchange for clients phone numbers.
Speaker 1: Get rid of house moms, the hired female staff that
Speaker 1: sets up shop in the dressing room to provide everything
Speaker 1: from Q tips to emotional support to home kick meals.
Speaker 1: They charge fees for all those items, and they're offeringly
Speaker 1: o their often eyes and ears of engagement. We can
Speaker 1: get our own supplies. We've got moms. Get real security.
Speaker 1: We'll tip them. The security staff available to us now
Speaker 1: polices us by searching our bags for condoms and drugs
Speaker 1: instead of protecting us. What, I'm gonna make this quick
Speaker 1: stop mandatory tip out for dance DJ's host floor people.
Speaker 1: They have many titles, give us rice and treat us
Speaker 1: like employees, which excuse me, they're fucking what security They
Speaker 1: don't protect us, They're they're supposedly. I think somebody just
Speaker 1: told me today. I don't know what club it was,
Speaker 1: if you have condoms in your back? Yeah, because what if?
Speaker 1: What if it's not for the what if you're going
Speaker 1: to see your boyfriend after work? Like who cares? Like?
Speaker 1: Why do you? Why should? What are they searching for condoms?
Speaker 1: Didn't I didn't even notice. I think she probably interviewed
Speaker 1: a lot more people besides me. Oh, this is just
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I saw your name right before. So yeah,
Speaker 1: this is different demands. You know, the drug thing. I
Speaker 1: can understand that, I understand, but I don't want to
Speaker 1: hear the security. All right, there's supposed this is what
Speaker 1: I heard today that security Like if you go to
Speaker 1: sign a contract at a certain club, on the on
Speaker 1: on the contract it says security is not here to
Speaker 1: protect the dancers, is more to protect the customers. So
Speaker 1: what if this customer is attacking me, are you not
Speaker 1: going to protect me? Like, what rights do you have
Speaker 1: if this is and and it's happened where a customer
Speaker 1: has attacked a dancer and the dancer was kicked out,
Speaker 1: or even women getting I think that that's different amongst
Speaker 1: depending on management, because they shouldn't even have a difference
Speaker 1: of anything. But I mean, but that's how people like
Speaker 1: you can work at one company and it be ran
Speaker 1: a certain way, and go to another company and they
Speaker 1: have completely different rules. I think that if you look,
Speaker 1: if you take a look at this just from a
Speaker 1: business standpoint, like even talking about eliminated house fees, how
Speaker 1: else is I want to talk about. What is a
Speaker 1: house fee? Is paid to rent the What they say
Speaker 1: is that you're renting the room. Okay, First of all,
Speaker 1: these people are millionaires. They have money, they can pay
Speaker 1: their workers, especially they don't they don't have that many workers.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you where I agree with her on
Speaker 1: the house fee part. Where would you find the girl
Speaker 1: to dance for you? Now? I gotta pay to bring
Speaker 1: people and entertain the people that's sitting in your club
Speaker 1: when you make money in the bar, that's bullshit. I
Speaker 1: completely agree with the house fees. I think that if
Speaker 1: I'm sitting up here and as an independent contractor, if
Speaker 1: you're not even gonna give me fucking benefits, now I
Speaker 1: gotta pay to be here when you need women in
Speaker 1: the club, that is bullshit. M hmm. I will say
Speaker 1: the only thing that I would agree with is if
Speaker 1: the house fee came with some liability for myself as well.
Speaker 1: I don't mind the house feel as long as it's reasonable.
Speaker 1: How what's the cheapest and what's the most expensive? Is
Speaker 1: the cheapest house fee I've seen in history was in Detroit?
Speaker 1: How much one? Wow? I mean, but but that's that's
Speaker 1: that's my thing though, Like dancers are making non taxed
Speaker 1: money or strippers, bartenders, whoever you want to look at it.
Speaker 1: When you're working in this type of environment, they're making
Speaker 1: untaxed money. And essentially, aside from the bar, how else
Speaker 1: is the club going to make their money. They also
Speaker 1: save by when you have to tip out when you
Speaker 1: when you have to yeah, but when you have to
Speaker 1: tip out the DJ, when you have to tip out
Speaker 1: the house mom, those are now expensive that they don't
Speaker 1: have to take care. But here's the point. You don't
Speaker 1: have a strip club without strippers. Listen, let me tell
Speaker 1: you something. Us paying not dollar house fee. You know
Speaker 1: how many women would come into work to pay a
Speaker 1: dollar because at the end of the day, our job
Speaker 1: is to entertain customers. We make them spend money we
Speaker 1: make You don't understand is, first of all, this is
Speaker 1: a job that's mainly run by women. Probably, if not,
Speaker 1: strippers are women by not sticking by women that have
Speaker 1: to pay fees and things like this to make a living.
Speaker 1: You have a degree, right, I not saying that all
Speaker 1: strippers aren't smart, but maybe they're just getting their degrees
Speaker 1: and they really don't have another way to make money.
Speaker 1: Now we have to charge you to make money, and
Speaker 1: you might not because the bartenders are taking it. And
Speaker 1: then let alone, what if I don't make money, I
Speaker 1: still have to pay to be here. You're not protecting
Speaker 1: me in any way. I got to pay the security
Speaker 1: that's not securing me. Like, there's a lot of things
Speaker 1: that do go beyond the business being shady. Come on, dude,
Speaker 1: but I also think that they're three if they make
Speaker 1: that on the house sees. I'm sorry, but it's different
Speaker 1: amongst for one, each strip club for one and for
Speaker 1: two where but That's what I'm saying. I guess right
Speaker 1: now you brought up Detroit, but no, no, no, I'm
Speaker 1: talking about this is only not only Detroit. Collectively, dancers
Speaker 1: don't want to pay houses. They're paying too much money
Speaker 1: and they're not profits expensive one you've seen out right
Speaker 1: now this this weekend a C I double A. These
Speaker 1: women are flying from New York to go out to
Speaker 1: make this. How do you say, like this huge amount
Speaker 1: of money and that's not even promised to them, you understand, Like,
Speaker 1: do they don't know if they're gonna make this money
Speaker 1: that they quote unquote are going to make. Is there
Speaker 1: anything that you can do, like as a dancer, Like
Speaker 1: let's say like, hey, if I only work at Starlets,
Speaker 1: do I not get to pay the house? Pep? I'm
Speaker 1: an exclusive stripper? They're like if I'm your feature dancer, Like,
Speaker 1: is there anything you can do that they do do that?
Speaker 1: They do do that. It's it would be considered a
Speaker 1: little bit of a favoritism, you know, So it's more like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean they could do something like that, especially if
Speaker 1: the woman is promoting the club. I feel like they should,
Speaker 1: you know, give them some type of a discount. An
Speaker 1: average Um, like what do you pay? It depends well
Speaker 1: right now, because I'm kind of banned from all the
Speaker 1: clubs in New York. I like I work in the Bronx. Well,
Speaker 1: not all the clubs, mainly queens certain clubs I'm a
Speaker 1: banned from working at like these. What you're doing? Okay? So, um,
Speaker 1: I'm working at a club in the Bronx called Club
Speaker 1: w It's the former Mr Wedge. Um, day shift. It's
Speaker 1: like starting at twenty dollars. I think they pay you
Speaker 1: if you come in before twelve, so you know, because
Speaker 1: they they have like day shift and then it goes
Speaker 1: in tonight. The highest house pieces probably like sixty. What
Speaker 1: do you um, what's your main goal? Like, what are
Speaker 1: three things that you really like? Are non negotiables for you?
Speaker 1: Like you said the house be like whatever, right you can?
Speaker 1: If it's not crazy for you, maybe you can afford it.
Speaker 1: Some girls can't. But like, what are three non negotiables
Speaker 1: that you really really want? As far as for the
Speaker 1: shippers to make the sps, I just feel like, excuse
Speaker 1: me about the purpose. Excuse me, dude. There's someone that
Speaker 1: likes this bird fetish. I'm sure they're gonna do this.
Speaker 1: Might end up. So we Actually there's videos over here
Speaker 1: because for five bucks a month you can watch bonus
Speaker 1: footage and that might let a nick page. That's thanks.
Speaker 1: Um yeah, what are your no negotiables? Like things you
Speaker 1: want to change? I just feel like the bartenders need
Speaker 1: to be uniformed more appropriately, not like a stripper, you know.
Speaker 1: I feel like they need to also stop dancing behind
Speaker 1: the bars. I feel like they should do their jobs,
Speaker 1: you know, like if you have good customer service skills
Speaker 1: and good work ethic as a bartender, use it. You know,
Speaker 1: why do you have to cross front to what a
Speaker 1: dancer does, you know and dance behind the bar, because
Speaker 1: now you're just cutting off from our money, what we're paid,
Speaker 1: what we're paying and fish nets okay to wear, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's I feel like that's traditional. I feel like that's
Speaker 1: what should wear or even listen. Nowadays, like half these
Speaker 1: bartenders are being forced to get their bodies done in
Speaker 1: order to even have the position. So your body is
Speaker 1: already voluptuous, even in a black body suit. You can
Speaker 1: still see your body. So I don't understand what's what's
Speaker 1: the big deal? You know, why can't you just be
Speaker 1: covered up and just respect because that's when you were saying,
Speaker 1: Like I was like, I wonder what, because when I
Speaker 1: think a bartender in the strip club, I'm thinking like
Speaker 1: the fishnets, panties, like a cute top, or like what
Speaker 1: I wore on South Beach, but that's but here, no,
Speaker 1: you're getting strip ofits. Wow. M hmm. Okay. It's sad
Speaker 1: because they're you know, they're there are a lot of
Speaker 1: women are getting forced into doing their bodies because they
Speaker 1: think bartending is more of a lucrative career, which it
Speaker 1: really isn't because still some of these bartenders are dancing,
Speaker 1: and of course they're not going to admit that, but
Speaker 1: it's like you're basically working twice as hard now because
Speaker 1: you you want to push to be this person, this
Speaker 1: bartender or whatever, but you're still dancing. So it's like
Speaker 1: respect what we do and join us, you know, instead
Speaker 1: of going against us. So that's the number one thing.
Speaker 1: I think the problem though, too is and and it's
Speaker 1: what you just said, as far as we'll join us,
Speaker 1: I think that there's still such a separate stigma, but
Speaker 1: now they're creating they're creating a bad stigma for being
Speaker 1: a bartender because they're doing what we're doing. Actually you've
Speaker 1: never heard the show, but Mandy and I always joke
Speaker 1: about should be like always talk to about these girls.
Speaker 1: I do. The star tender thing. To me, I think
Speaker 1: it is a joke. It is a joke only because
Speaker 1: it's not even a start. Honestly, I love a hot
Speaker 1: girl that works in the bar. I don't want to
Speaker 1: see the instam they're trying to publicize on an era
Speaker 1: that's or it's non existent. The real star tenders are gone.
Speaker 1: You understand, those girls are not even in the ship club.
Speaker 1: The main star tender and the infamous one is Bernieburger. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and the story, you cannot talk that woman, even if
Speaker 1: you're like depending on it. You know, this woman did
Speaker 1: not have to dance behind a bar to make money.
Speaker 1: She brought out a freaking crowd for being who she was.
Speaker 1: You know, she was her own talent. She was a
Speaker 1: video vixen. You know, she was in the top artist videos.
Speaker 1: You know, these girls now they're just you know. But
Speaker 1: I also think that that's where the issue was coming from.
Speaker 1: So when these clubs hire these girls with these large
Speaker 1: followings that don't bring any customers out, they a lot
Speaker 1: of them do bring customers out, which a lot of
Speaker 1: them don't. Some of them may not, but a lot
Speaker 1: of them do. So you're not only forcing them to
Speaker 1: you're not forcing them, but you're not only turning them
Speaker 1: into you know, the bartenders, the startenders. You're now also
Speaker 1: adding the promoter title to them. So they're promoting these
Speaker 1: people to come out to see them. They're promoting because
Speaker 1: they pay more work for them. Yeah, and it's sad
Speaker 1: because they're being pushed to do so much. And it's
Speaker 1: like like a question. We have a friend, a girl
Speaker 1: that when I first met you, I think for Miami Danny.
Speaker 1: Danny gets flown out and it's put on flyers to bartend.
Speaker 1: What is she only only here and she's done starletts,
Speaker 1: But that's because Starlett's if girls are in town, my
Speaker 1: friend Dedy and my friend me, like a lot of
Speaker 1: my friends that are not bartenders in any city that
Speaker 1: they live in, when they come up to New York,
Speaker 1: because they have eight hundred thousand followers, they get put
Speaker 1: behind the bar. But that's also to save These girls
Speaker 1: are no longer getting hosting fees, so when they say
Speaker 1: they're hosting, they're only walking out of there with what
Speaker 1: they make at the bar. So that's just that's when
Speaker 1: the clubs are no longer having to pay them. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is which is really messing up the game. They
Speaker 1: need to stop doing that. And this is what I was.
Speaker 1: I was so upset when I seen a Lexus Sky behind.
Speaker 1: First of all, you have an image. You're going backwards,
Speaker 1: baby girl, you're going backwards. Why are you behind the bar?
Speaker 1: And I honestly, I feel like a lot of these
Speaker 1: Instagram models need some type of management too, because they
Speaker 1: really yes, because they're not realizing, like you have such
Speaker 1: uh of a movement now, like your image is what's
Speaker 1: making you big. You could be making way more money
Speaker 1: than what you think. These people should be paying you
Speaker 1: to come to their club. And they're not as the
Speaker 1: way they would pay any artists. No, but they want
Speaker 1: to put They want to say, oh, you're gonna they
Speaker 1: She works as a strategist for an advertising front for
Speaker 1: Art Basil. She has to pretty much find people that
Speaker 1: will talk about Basil and talk about these certain events
Speaker 1: in the art district of Miami. On Instagram, there's a
Speaker 1: chick called Amy Song Song of Style. She's like, you're
Speaker 1: not gonna believe how much we paid her. She has
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe ten million follars something like that.
Speaker 1: This chick charge is fifty dollars to come to Miami
Speaker 1: for three days all pre damn meals. Recovered your worth
Speaker 1: fifty dollars and they gave it to her. She's like, Oh,
Speaker 1: we got her her a deal. It's that you even
Speaker 1: say that, because you know that's how yeah, and a
Speaker 1: lot of women don't. That's how the power of influence.
Speaker 1: And you know what they paid her for. She said,
Speaker 1: they paid her just come to the events tag four posts.
Speaker 1: I always told myself this because even it was when
Speaker 1: Aces was open and incident happened, I was so upset
Speaker 1: because it was just like, I feel like they don't
Speaker 1: they don't respect us as women, they don't see our
Speaker 1: worth as women. And I told myself, I'm never coming back.
Speaker 1: I'm not even stepping for I came back, but you know,
Speaker 1: I said, I'm never stepping foot in this club until
Speaker 1: they freaking pay me. Like seriously, now, I'm so serious.
Speaker 1: They will literally have to pay me now to step
Speaker 1: foot in any of these clubs. And even if they don't,
Speaker 1: I don't care because I know they're gonna pay meywhere
Speaker 1: else for what I'm doing, you know, So it's like
Speaker 1: what I I basically, how do you say it? I
Speaker 1: kind of pushed what I was saying to in existence
Speaker 1: now you know, I'm really on that level of thinking
Speaker 1: like they're not. I'm not coming in anywhere until I'm
Speaker 1: getting paid. I think what you did has getten so
Speaker 1: much like before I was talking to on the phone
Speaker 1: and you were saying you're going to Trevor Noah later.
Speaker 1: Why do you think that what you've done has caused
Speaker 1: so much buzz that you can be on Trevor no
Speaker 1: White people watch this because it's it's more of a movement.
Speaker 1: It's a it's some it's a new age movement. You know.
Speaker 1: I'm fighting for you know, women's rights, equal rights, you know,
Speaker 1: in a different way, you know. And I feel like
Speaker 1: what we do in our in the industry that I'm in,
Speaker 1: it's like it's being silence, and I feel like we
Speaker 1: need to be heard more because you know, people we
Speaker 1: we do speak on social media and people like, well,
Speaker 1: you're just a stripper. No, I'm not just a stripper.
Speaker 1: I'm still human. You know. Once I leave out those doors,
Speaker 1: I have a home to go to, I have a
Speaker 1: family to take care of, or have to go to
Speaker 1: school tomorrow, or I have another job. You know, have
Speaker 1: any clubs had to close down or has anybody even
Speaker 1: like who gets affected the most from this? Well, when
Speaker 1: Aces closed down, it affected a lot of women's pockets
Speaker 1: a lot. But that was just more so for we
Speaker 1: don't have neighborhood complain so they had enough people. But
Speaker 1: for like what you're doing now, You're like, a strike
Speaker 1: is to affect someone's Well, it did. It's scared a
Speaker 1: lot of people, you know, it's scared like the promoters.
Speaker 1: I've had promoters even come to me and tell me like,
Speaker 1: you know, you can you chill? You know, they would complain,
Speaker 1: they woupset. It was just different emotions from everyone. Then
Speaker 1: it was to the point where it was just like
Speaker 1: some strippers is like, well I can't stop working. They
Speaker 1: did stop working for the clubs are probably kind of
Speaker 1: slow for a good month. What is the secondary income
Speaker 1: for a stripper? Like how can a stripper that wants
Speaker 1: to strike with you make another Like what do you
Speaker 1: see that your friends are doing? Your colleagues? A lot
Speaker 1: of women are just going out of town if even
Speaker 1: if that, or they're working at clubs that are pro dancer.
Speaker 1: You know, it's more that they support the strippers. And
Speaker 1: what does that mean, Well, they don't allow certain things
Speaker 1: to happen, like between the barts and their dancer about it,
Speaker 1: or the way the stages are set up where you
Speaker 1: know it's for the dancers, you know. I think that's
Speaker 1: also just a dynamic to where when you have like
Speaker 1: you keep using employees and bartenders being employed. I think
Speaker 1: that that's the issue with the I'll say the urban
Speaker 1: um clubs. They want to us well, not only do
Speaker 1: they want to consider the hustle, but the bartenders are
Speaker 1: really not employees of the club. This is why artenders
Speaker 1: are brought in by the promoters and so that the
Speaker 1: promoters don't have to and this is this difference in
Speaker 1: white club then they actually get paid. You know, white
Speaker 1: clubs are also they also sucking white clubs. It's not
Speaker 1: even that it's not against their own will, like if
Speaker 1: you want to, yeah, it's your choice, but it's more,
Speaker 1: you know, they actually run a business up scale because
Speaker 1: it's the professionals about what they're doing. I feel like
Speaker 1: the urban is not as professional. They just collecting money,
Speaker 1: you know. Um, this is why I feel sorry for
Speaker 1: the bartenders too, and a lot of women because they're
Speaker 1: pushing this image like, oh, bartender is a lucrative career.
Speaker 1: There's women literally say I want to be a bartender,
Speaker 1: not realizing the same way as you know being a shipper,
Speaker 1: that you don't know what it entails. And it's so sad.
Speaker 1: These women are really going to get their bis on,
Speaker 1: thinking they're gonna get this permanent position in the club,
Speaker 1: and then they get tossed in two seconds. Talking about
Speaker 1: how bartenders get their asks one i'd be like you did, yeah,
Speaker 1: And they're getting tossed in two seconds, and they end
Speaker 1: up being as soon as there's another girl that is better,
Speaker 1: or hotter or more followers, which is why a lot
Speaker 1: of the bartenders who feel like they have their set
Speaker 1: nights get mad when girls like Alexis Guy come to
Speaker 1: town because now she just took someone's spot who would
Speaker 1: have normally bartended on a Saturday. It happens to me.
Speaker 1: It also became a racial issue within the clubs, so
Speaker 1: they don't they don't like black girls. I want to
Speaker 1: talk about the racism that she pays, can you I
Speaker 1: want to talk about one um, how racism affects you
Speaker 1: from management. And then I want to talk about racism
Speaker 1: with customers. Let's say that customers may let's start with
Speaker 1: management first. Okay, Well as being you know, a light skinned,
Speaker 1: Hispanic and black woman, you know, I kind of get
Speaker 1: away with certain things, and a lot of women see that,
Speaker 1: you know, and there's my colleagues who don't get away
Speaker 1: with it. So this is why I was so defensive
Speaker 1: about the black women, because they tell me how they
Speaker 1: get fired for doing the same thing that I just did,
Speaker 1: you know, like trying to defend my money against a bartender.
Speaker 1: They'll be like, no, no, no, no, you just split it.
Speaker 1: They'll tell me something like that, it's over, she's getting
Speaker 1: she's she's getting out of there, she's getting fired, and
Speaker 1: it's not fair, you know. Even she's just speaking and
Speaker 1: she's vetting to the management and they're going against her,
Speaker 1: you know. And then with the whole bartender situation, you know,
Speaker 1: there's not a lot of black women behind the bars.
Speaker 1: There's all this Hispanic. They're promoting this Hispanic, which is
Speaker 1: a problem. Yeah, or white. You know, a lot of
Speaker 1: a lot of tone like LETTERR skin tone. So it's like,
Speaker 1: what's wrong with being a beautiful, dark skinned woman behind
Speaker 1: a bar. There's a bunch of beautiful women out here
Speaker 1: that are darker than me. You know, have you seen
Speaker 1: anything like so as far as the customers right, as
Speaker 1: far as far as girl getting higher, have you seen
Speaker 1: the customers do anything or like like, I've had customers
Speaker 1: tell me which I don't understand. But this is the
Speaker 1: club's fault too, because they promote this, you know, they
Speaker 1: promote this image like this is what you should come
Speaker 1: to see, and it's just strictly light skin all the time.
Speaker 1: So when you see comments like where's all the black women,
Speaker 1: where's all the black women? It's to the point where
Speaker 1: they have these customers manipulated thinking well, this is what
Speaker 1: I should be going to see, instead of them having
Speaker 1: their own preference, or promoters are pushing them to sit
Speaker 1: at this specific person's bar because she's light skin, because
Speaker 1: they think that's what the what the customer may want,
Speaker 1: you know, So excuse me, um, I've had an um
Speaker 1: an incident at City Escapes was SI years ago. This
Speaker 1: is when I started realizing about because it's it's don't
Speaker 1: really the same anymore from what the girls they're telling me,
Speaker 1: you know, because I having a step. I haven't been
Speaker 1: there about a year, but I have in my there
Speaker 1: in a while. But it was it had its run
Speaker 1: in Queens as well. It had a good run a
Speaker 1: couple of years ago before aces happened. That was like
Speaker 1: the spot to be bad. But um, I had an incident.
Speaker 1: This is when I realized about racism because I never
Speaker 1: saw a color I didn't like. I was that innocent
Speaker 1: as a stripper that I never looked at a person like, oh,
Speaker 1: she's darker. I never really saw a color until that
Speaker 1: customer blatantly said, well, I want a Spanish woman. And
Speaker 1: I'm like, but I'm Spanish. So I was confused and
Speaker 1: he's like, no, I want a light skin Spanish woman,
Speaker 1: and I got yes. I got so offended. So, you know,
Speaker 1: we all deal with racism, the Blacks, the Spanish, the
Speaker 1: white too. You know, we all deal with the racism,
Speaker 1: but black women deal with it the hardest and it's
Speaker 1: so sad. They'll be like, oh, well you're pretty for
Speaker 1: a black girl. For a black girl, that's so insulting, Like,
Speaker 1: you know, and I have a friend miss a lot
Speaker 1: of booty, a lot of you probably. Yeah. And so
Speaker 1: she used to work at Starlet's as well, and she
Speaker 1: literally say like there would be a limit on how
Speaker 1: many black dancers they could have a one night. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was like that in a lot of clubs there
Speaker 1: they had a night just strictly for Spanish women. You
Speaker 1: couldn't even work and work there if you were a
Speaker 1: certain it's her money would be affected. She was kind
Speaker 1: of this night in Orlando at this place called the Palace.
Speaker 1: Palace was popped on a Princess Valentina that works there.
Speaker 1: And I got there and I was like, I remember
Speaker 1: counting five Spanish girls and I was like, I know,
Speaker 1: it's Spanish night. The some bitches wasn't up, and him like,
Speaker 1: why are the no black chicks? Then I asked one
Speaker 1: of the girls, the bottle girl was coming to me.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, are there no black girls there?
Speaker 1: And not to night? Yeah, she said, okay, not to night.
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you, how come you haven't started
Speaker 1: working at a white strip club. Actually I've worked that
Speaker 1: white strip clubs in Vegas. Okay, you know they are
Speaker 1: more versatile, They just like you're the women a little slimmer.
Speaker 1: So I was almost borderline too thick. But I did
Speaker 1: work at like sapphires and sperm mine. I actually worked
Speaker 1: the graveyard shift, which is the bad shift. It's when
Speaker 1: they had they have you working two to eight in
Speaker 1: the morning. In the morning to eight in the morning.
Speaker 1: So I another thing. Everybody that was slim or light
Speaker 1: skin was working the earliest shifts. Not only that. I
Speaker 1: had a friend who auditioned for a white maybe Rix,
Speaker 1: Rix's white in the right, and they literally told her
Speaker 1: she should come back when her hair grew. She had
Speaker 1: a short cut like a pixie, and they literally told her,
Speaker 1: let us know when you put a weave in and
Speaker 1: make it long, because they didn't want girls with a
Speaker 1: short it was too urban and too um. Yeah, they
Speaker 1: literally told her to come back when her hair grew.
Speaker 1: And so you still deal with she knew her right,
Speaker 1: and she knew her right. She would have sued because
Speaker 1: they can't do that. Oh that I didn't know they
Speaker 1: just club that. I didn't know there was You do
Speaker 1: kind of have rights? Then, oh, yes, we do it.
Speaker 1: Just we need to do our research. That's the problem.
Speaker 1: A lot women don't mean yes, women need to start
Speaker 1: doing their research. A couple of years ago, a girls
Speaker 1: suited a club called Sugar Daddies. This is not the
Speaker 1: most recent was an old club. I think the Old
Speaker 1: Sugar Daddies um for not allowing her to wear her
Speaker 1: afro and she won. Oh wow, So yeah, that's crazy,
Speaker 1: which is which is crazy because I wonder if that
Speaker 1: had anything to do. I don't think it did with
Speaker 1: the past and just playing devil's advocate. What can the
Speaker 1: strip clubs say as far as like your upkeep? I
Speaker 1: think one thing they could say, and you know, it's
Speaker 1: important when girls come in and they'll say they don't
Speaker 1: hire a stripper that they find honestly. What's more, well,
Speaker 1: what's more should say? What can they say to you
Speaker 1: if they feel like we're full, we're not taking. Like
Speaker 1: my roommate worked at King of Diamonds in Miami and
Speaker 1: she was a bartender and she couldn't go on the
Speaker 1: floor unless she paid to have her makeup. All of
Speaker 1: them had to have their making. Yeah, I think certain
Speaker 1: things it should be in four because you know, you're
Speaker 1: you're you're representing yourself and this club. You want to
Speaker 1: look a certain way for the club, you know. That's
Speaker 1: why I feel like it's not only the issues within
Speaker 1: that's working against us, is within ourselves too. We need
Speaker 1: to start having some type of stripper addicacy in New
Speaker 1: York because a lot of the girls don't keep themselves up,
Speaker 1: you know. So now this is why we're facing even
Speaker 1: bigger stigma because we're like, oh, we're considered trash. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of beautiful dancers, but we're being outweighed by
Speaker 1: the dancers who don't keep themselves up. But that's not
Speaker 1: our fault either. That's the clubs just taking these women's
Speaker 1: money and throwing them into the wolves and not explaining
Speaker 1: to them, yeah, how they just want to collect, you know.
Speaker 1: And I feel like it's not fair to these women
Speaker 1: who are coming into the gate not knowing, like the
Speaker 1: fact that you're charging a girl a house for the
Speaker 1: first day instead of letting her make her money at
Speaker 1: least try. They shouldn't be charging her the first day,
Speaker 1: and she'd be letting her work so she can get
Speaker 1: the new shoes that she needs, you know, because a
Speaker 1: lot of these women, you don't know what their situations
Speaker 1: as why he was trying to do it for a
Speaker 1: birthday gift. She'd be a dancer for me and so
Speaker 1: vent and they can range one of my most expensive
Speaker 1: shoes is probably four D and then the upkeep on makeup, lashes, hair. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they don't understand the expenses that we have to go
Speaker 1: through on a dailies. They don't care, you know, and
Speaker 1: it's like it's sad. Like like I said, every woman's
Speaker 1: situation is different. You don't know if this girl probably
Speaker 1: lost everything and this is she has her last hundred dollars.
Speaker 1: She's coming in with a pair of bra and panty
Speaker 1: and some regular shoes and she wants to make money.
Speaker 1: Let her make her money so she can invest for
Speaker 1: the next day tomorrow. You know, they're just literally taking
Speaker 1: these women's money. They don't even know this girl from
Speaker 1: a hole in the wall. They're just like, yeah, you
Speaker 1: have to pay this. One of the things in there
Speaker 1: was a club, madam. Can you explain what that is?
Speaker 1: Which one house madam? A housemam is like a mom.
Speaker 1: She kind of like she has like all these like
Speaker 1: stuff everything, like she has everything, she has to camp
Speaker 1: ons for the women, she has food, water, um, hair
Speaker 1: scrunched and do we want to get rid of the
Speaker 1: house mom? I don't think we should because you know what,
Speaker 1: it's we already deal with so many responsibilities a house
Speaker 1: mom is very important, and they're very important people. And
Speaker 1: you didn't you didn't say this. This is what I'm saying. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a combination. I feel, you know what, from that
Speaker 1: let it said that they're charged for everything. Maybe the
Speaker 1: club could pay the house mom. That's yes, that's what
Speaker 1: they need to do. I feel like that, you know,
Speaker 1: because we honestly, I feel like they deserve a tip
Speaker 1: to the house mom does deserve a tip because they
Speaker 1: do cater to us, you know. But the whole charging
Speaker 1: us for things, I don't think they should charge us.
Speaker 1: I think tipping her for her for what she's brought us.
Speaker 1: I think that's important, you know. And I'll compare the
Speaker 1: house mom too. If if any of our people are listening,
Speaker 1: and I haven't been to a strip club or worked
Speaker 1: as a dancer, you can compare a house mom to
Speaker 1: the lady in the bathroom at the club who has come.
Speaker 1: It's the same thing, the same concept. But that's the
Speaker 1: thing too. I think that how could a club necessarily
Speaker 1: pay her if she's purchasing all of these things that
Speaker 1: she's giving you, ladies. So I guess it makes sense
Speaker 1: to be tipped accordingly. She should be tipped, but the
Speaker 1: whole fact that you're paying a dollar for a tampon
Speaker 1: is ridiculous. Yeah, I mean, yeah, yeah, you know, I
Speaker 1: don't think that's happening in all the clubs, but you
Speaker 1: know this is this is women's complaints, like this is
Speaker 1: certain clubs, not all clubs do that. So the whole
Speaker 1: taking out the hosp mom, I don't really think that's
Speaker 1: necessarily true. A random question that you're probably not even
Speaker 1: ready for. Oh god, we're talking about Tampa tampon. So
Speaker 1: we had a doctor on because Mandy talked about how
Speaker 1: she's had sex with a sponge. Told her what do
Speaker 1: strippers do? They are on their period and then need
Speaker 1: to work. How do they There's a lot of techniques.
Speaker 1: There's a sponge technique I've heard about that they are
Speaker 1: They've stuffed wipe ees up. I just used the tampon.
Speaker 1: I'll just cut this drink. Yeah, I'll just get the
Speaker 1: strength push. Well, the girls down South, that's their technique. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's their technique. But or the sponge, if you stick
Speaker 1: it up, it stops the blood from essentially coming down.
Speaker 1: That's I mean, we're from a sufish. That's why I
Speaker 1: heard these tips. So I have a question. I have
Speaker 1: a question to real quick before we close out that
Speaker 1: hasn't necessarily been talked here. Me and her um have
Speaker 1: a certain response for men, being that we have this
Speaker 1: podcast where we talk about sex. When it comes to
Speaker 1: you dating and meeting men, what is their response to
Speaker 1: you being a dancer and how do you deal with
Speaker 1: with that? It's really hard because you know, men woun
Speaker 1: get intimidated by what we do because we're around men
Speaker 1: all the time, but they don't realize we were in
Speaker 1: and we're acting. It's an act. You know. We don't
Speaker 1: necessarily like the people that we speak to. You know,
Speaker 1: we just there to entertain them or listen to them,
Speaker 1: listen to their problems or whatever. You know. It's not
Speaker 1: the same as your real life. Yeah, outside of outside
Speaker 1: of you know, being that are married and have kids
Speaker 1: at home, and yeah, there's a there's a lot of
Speaker 1: there's a lot, you know, and it's just it's hard
Speaker 1: for them to you know, because they you know, they
Speaker 1: still deal with their men being a little bit jealous.
Speaker 1: But as long as you have a strong relationship with
Speaker 1: your with your partner, are you doing an Unfortunately, no,
Speaker 1: I talked I talked to I talked to guys. But
Speaker 1: you know, I feel like my personality is so different
Speaker 1: it doesn't even matter. They think I'm like a complete lie.
Speaker 1: Like it's so like I feel like you're you're not
Speaker 1: You're not. Have you ever lied because you were like
Speaker 1: maybe were you ever ashamed of what you did? Now
Speaker 1: you're sucking you're everything right, like and I'm sorry, not
Speaker 1: that you were before, but like now it's just like
Speaker 1: you can back it up and be like, look at
Speaker 1: me here and you're the billboard. So but have you
Speaker 1: ever been ashamed and lied? And what was your lie? Job?
Speaker 1: I wasn't really more. I was just trying to keep
Speaker 1: it secretive from my parents because I started at eight Team,
Speaker 1: my first club since city. And I always, like, you know,
Speaker 1: I was always a performer, even as a child, So
Speaker 1: I was never like nervous or anything like that to
Speaker 1: be around people. But you know, my parents, I didn't
Speaker 1: want them to find out. They didn't know, you know,
Speaker 1: yeh when did they find out? When they started finding out?
Speaker 1: When I was they I mean, my they're my grandparents,
Speaker 1: you know, they raised you know, they're old schools. They're
Speaker 1: looking at me. My grandmother started looking at the money
Speaker 1: I was bringing in because she was just like, where
Speaker 1: are you getting all this money from? She didn't know
Speaker 1: because I would hide my shoes. And then after while
Speaker 1: I kind of got kind of sloppy with it, and
Speaker 1: she'd seen my shoes around on my outfits, so she
Speaker 1: knew something was up. And then my grandfather who's super
Speaker 1: like strict, and he was dis owning my one of
Speaker 1: my cousins for even having a tattoo. She's He's like,
Speaker 1: I'm dis owning right, this was years ago when I
Speaker 1: was a kid. He's like, oh, she has a tattoo.
Speaker 1: I'm just owning her. Blah blah blah blah. You know
Speaker 1: that that's just being a little ignorant, you know, because
Speaker 1: it's old school. But you know me, you know that
Speaker 1: me being their child, they're just like they have to
Speaker 1: just respect what I'm doing. And just I didn't really
Speaker 1: tell them. They just you know, and they're just like,
Speaker 1: you know, they just want there. They're more considered about
Speaker 1: my safety and more than anything. So it's so funny
Speaker 1: because in this time of activism, like I don't know
Speaker 1: when it started to happen to me, but maybe I'm
Speaker 1: just getting older. But I was in the strip club
Speaker 1: recently and I was watching how a guy was talking
Speaker 1: to a girl. I remember being like, it's respectful, but
Speaker 1: that's an urban fun. But now it's like I just
Speaker 1: feel different. Yeah, I don't know. And we have to
Speaker 1: deal with a lot. And that's what people fail to understand,
Speaker 1: Like they're like, oh, you you go in there to
Speaker 1: get disrespected. No, we don't. You don't have to shoot
Speaker 1: us like that. What do you say that? Because when
Speaker 1: someone loves to tell us you should expect no first
Speaker 1: of all, that you expect they get treated disrespectively out
Speaker 1: in it be on a normal day. Right, No, it's
Speaker 1: excuse me, why are you talking to me like that?
Speaker 1: Don't And toes you said, so do you? Um? And
Speaker 1: now you've been working in my last question just for you.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you have one, but you've been
Speaker 1: doing this what ten years now? So like like I've
Speaker 1: had regular jobs to what was one of your regular
Speaker 1: child I was a deet collector and I was a
Speaker 1: lifeguard to at Trump Towers girl, I would definitely so.
Speaker 1: So of course, you know you're beautiful, and you said
Speaker 1: you're approaching thirties, so you probably definitely have more time left.
Speaker 1: But um, what do you do? You have plans after stripping? Oh? Yeah,
Speaker 1: what what what would you like to do at Well?
Speaker 1: From the beginning, I always wanted to invest my money
Speaker 1: into opening a business, you know, but since this happened,
Speaker 1: I really have a lot of great ideas. Now this
Speaker 1: is since this became more of of a movement, like
Speaker 1: I want to start empowering women. So I'm soon having
Speaker 1: an empowerment brunch developing. And I actually wanted to start
Speaker 1: a strip or walk to so hopefully that comes into
Speaker 1: play as well. So we got a stripper. Can we
Speaker 1: just be supportive? Yeah? Because even I feel like every
Speaker 1: woman has an inner stripper in them, you know, everybody
Speaker 1: so dreams like this is no bullshit of being a stripper. Yes,
Speaker 1: you gotta respect what we get the idea. Do you
Speaker 1: ever get turned on what you do? Yes, that's what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Even I was intrigued by it. I'm sure
Speaker 1: everyone has like, what's that movie called where? What's her
Speaker 1: name is it? Girl? Even show Girl? This show Girl?
Speaker 1: How many stripper movies are empowered women to be strippers?
Speaker 1: To just you know, like Diamond, everybody that's Dimond. Oh,
Speaker 1: it's so funny they used they used diamond on when
Speaker 1: the stripper strikes started on the Shade Room. They were
Speaker 1: like infamous for that one. So what would be your
Speaker 1: takeaway for people who listen to this episode and may
Speaker 1: have learned things that they didn't know about the industry
Speaker 1: or about inside the club, or about being a stripper.
Speaker 1: What would you want them to take away? Um, as
Speaker 1: far as their mindset on what you have going with
Speaker 1: the stripper strike, as far as like do you want
Speaker 1: them to side with you? What is one thing that
Speaker 1: you just want people to have a respect and understanding,
Speaker 1: you know, like you don't have to agree, but just
Speaker 1: respect us because we're still human beings at the end
Speaker 1: of the day. Being a stripper is not. We're not aliens,
Speaker 1: you know, Like that needs to stop already. Like I'm
Speaker 1: a I'm a woman, you know, I deserve some type
Speaker 1: of respect at the end of the day. I have children.
Speaker 1: I'm sure you have a mother. You came out, you
Speaker 1: came out of a pussy, you know. So it's like,
Speaker 1: you know, one quick question, one question questions. So it's
Speaker 1: like you have guys trying to talk to you all
Speaker 1: the time when you're at the club. How like, how
Speaker 1: can a guy talk to you out like the fellow,
Speaker 1: Like I said, you know, I know I have a
Speaker 1: certain standard on how men should speak to me, you know,
Speaker 1: like I want to be spoken to correctly. You know,
Speaker 1: don't come like yo, ma was good. That is definitely
Speaker 1: not the way you are? You okay with being hit on?
Speaker 1: And like, how can someone hit on you in a
Speaker 1: respectful way while you're at work? Which strange because it's
Speaker 1: at work. It's just I'm more of the I like.
Speaker 1: The type of guys I go for is more of
Speaker 1: the quiet guys because I'm more like attracted to life.
Speaker 1: I like the challenge, you know, I like to like
Speaker 1: to dig into the person and you know, see what
Speaker 1: they're about. I don't really go for the guys who
Speaker 1: kind of talk to me too much because yeah, because
Speaker 1: it's just like you're just doing too much, you know,
Speaker 1: so it all just be a respectful gentleman and it
Speaker 1: may get you far. I know a lot of you
Speaker 1: guys don't know how to do that because we already
Speaker 1: deal with so much, just so and feel like they
Speaker 1: can still be normal. Yeah, that's the thing. She's like,
Speaker 1: she's saying, with an alien, you feel like it's this
Speaker 1: crazy thing, which is crazy because she could probably even
Speaker 1: have sweats and a turtleneck on but her. But I've
Speaker 1: had sweatpants. I look crazy. One day and a guy
Speaker 1: pulled up in a Rolls Royce and he was like, hey,
Speaker 1: this is my car. He was a lawyer, you know
Speaker 1: all right. I couldn't believe it, and I was just like,
Speaker 1: I look freaking crazy right now. You know what's going
Speaker 1: on here? You know that matter like that? Like, I mean,
Speaker 1: that'll happen to me. I don't have childbearing hips and asks,
Speaker 1: but you know, well our followers, um, and I will
Speaker 1: say I can't wait to put clips of this because
Speaker 1: you're so much more beautiful in person. I will say,

Speaker 1: somebody hacked it. I don't know if it is between
Speaker 1: the government or or one of the promoters. Yeah, because
