My slender dancer H is waiting for the next song to start. She has me feeling her boobs. 250cc saline bags, nicely implanted.

Then, out of the blue,

H: "Can I massage your balls?"
Me: "Um, it's just one big ball right now."
H: "Can I?"
Me: "Why do you wanna do THAT?"
H: "Cuz my boyfriend does steroids and his are all shrunk up inside him."
Me: "STEROIDS?? Tell him to eat tuna fish instead."
H: "Come on, let me."
Me: "You are sooo needy. Yeah, go ahead."
H: "Thank you sooo much."

As a dancer once said to me, "You find out what's missing and become the piece." But who would imagine a hot girl being ball-deprived.

Dancers A and B in a side alcove, A straddling me on a chair, hugging and humping off the meter. B's cell phone rings and she answers. It's her XBF. She promises to call him back.

A: What the fuck, girl! You changed your number and GAVE it to him?
B: Yeah, that's retarded, huh.
A: That's REALLY retarded. He beat the shit out of you.
B: Yeah, but I didn't change it cuz of him. I met three guys last week when I was wasted and they kept calling me back. I don't even remember what I did with them, but I'm like "leave me ALONE" and they wouldn't.
A: Girl, you gotta get straight.

If a dancer starts getting cranked up, I ask her if she has a trigger that gets her off. She might say, "Pull my hair and grab my ass hard." But one of my faves is more literal:

"My boyfriend puts a gun to my neck and pulls the trigger." :O

Two dancers, same week, same club. Which one would you trust more?

19 and blonde: "I've had 30 guys, 20 while I was drunk."

24 and brunette: "I've had sex with 60 guys, probably 45 while I was drunk."

Alright, mine are just strip-club-related, not actually strip-club-located. I've been overwhelmed by strange PLs recently. I received two different WTF?? pieces of correspondance today.

The first one I don't think is a problem, but the second one... it's not really a stoned or something, it's more of an "omfg, this is a little bit... odd". Read on.

*****

Mr New Guy, who I wrote about in a NATO a couple of weeks ago, came to see me again on Thursday, for just a little bit. That brings it to 4 visits and roughly $1300 in two weeks. Today I get a voicemail message from him:

"Thank you so much, Cali, for spending time with me last night. I had a great time. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be seeing or speaking with you again. It's not working out for me. I'm really sorry. *voice almost cracking* It's just... just... well, take care of yourself. I've loved knowing you." click

HUH??!! *shaking head* oh well, it was a good 2-week run, I guess. I wonder if he got in trouble with the wife? *shrug*


*****

And then a series of emails from a young guy who I saw both last Thursday and this Thursday, and he spent about $120 each time.

This was after our first meeting:
...so I wrote out an email to you and then it occurred to me that you probably have many of these encounters and I'm not even sure I told you my name. Thursday evening you finished up the night entertaining me with your alluring dance and stripper talk. I have not since been able to get the "sexy little school girl" out of my mind! Because of this problem I must see you again!! Whether it be at dinner or at the club or whatever!! Or just tell me to piss off and leave you alone. But think of the trauma and scars I'll be forever stricken with and it would be all your fault!! Could you go on living with all that hanging over your head? ~insert contact info here~ p.s. if nothing else at least let me know when you're working so I can at least please my eyes

I thought, well, he talks strange. a little stalkerish, maybe. But I emailed him anyway, told him my next shift, and he came in on Thursday. Then I received this email today: (background for the email, his car was acting up and he was hoping it would start when he left -fishing for a ride I think but I redirected easily)

My one hour drive home took over three hours. While sitting on the side of the road (a few times) and waiting for my car to start, I got to thinking. There's nothing I love more than the female body and body parts... big asses, small asses, little titties, big titties, fake titties, hips, bellies, legs, and thighs, and goddamn you have one of the finest sets of thighs around. What I'm trying to say is......whatever the type of encounter or the beauty of the woman, I'm not left with the feeling of needing whatever it may be from that woman (physical, mental, emotional, sexual, etc). Sure it'd be nice but when it's gone I don't crave it or feel the want or need to pursue it.

Example: I've enjoyed the hell out of lap dances from some damn fine ladies and when they're done I'm ready for another dance from another hottie or just satisfied with having the memories from the last one. Then there was you, whether watching you on stage or walking around, talking & listening to you, and oh yeah your sexually teasing lap dance, I'm alright with my feeling of wanting more, but puzzled or maybe even disturbed by my feeling of needing it.

I've narrowed it down to 2 choices - either you're really-really good or just plain evil. I'm leaning towards EVIL, in fact I feel bad for calling my car a bitch, in hindsight I see that she was just trying to protect me from seeing you. She must've smelled the evil spell you have on me.

P.S. Your legs feel so good to the touch. I need to get you backed into a dark corner then your ass would be in trouble.

UMMMM.......yeah. So on one hand, he could be trying to be cute and flirty but is just so socially inept that he comes off like a psycho rapist axe wielding body chopping serial killer. Or on the other hand, he really is one.

Thoughts?

*****

Oh, and in case anyone's wondering, I'm just really-really good. ;)

Cali, you need to rent Christine, the movie based on Stephen King's novel about an evil bitch car. In my experience, only pickup trucks are good about protecting men from evil women. :-\

You know what a parts car is? He wants you for a parts girl. Guys have this fantasy about building the perfect girl from parts, and he wants your thighs. But hey, fuck him, you ARE the perfect girl. :)

If you come across as "a guy's kind of friend" in terms of understanding, he's just goofing with you. The first guy actually scares me more. :O

The title "Stoned or something" simply reflects the fact that some people can remix brain chemicals with their own warped thoughts. :O

It sounds like # 1 realized that he was falling in love with you but couldn't have you so he bailed - at least he wants you to think that. The voice mail was an attempt to get you to see him as something other than a customer. Don't be surprised if you see him or hear from him again. RIL's don't usualy quit that easily.

#2 is just a wacko. Anyone who's car is that messed up shouldn't be spending money on strippers to begin with. Since this guy is, I would have to assume he's successfuly scared away any women who would talk to him or get naked for him for free. He may not be truly violent but he sure sounds screwed up. I'd avoid him

Still, his voiced breaking up on the phone makes me wonder. That's all little beyond CS.I'm trying to remember if I ever tried that one :thinking: Just kidding...the poor guy probably just needed some closure :P

#2 sounds pretty scary but sure knows how to whip out an email. My first one to Miss D went something like "Hey...had a great time. Maybe I'll see ya next week if youre working". I feel like an incompetent wordsmith.

Sporty, I owned a Ford Tuarus for 10 years, I can tell you all about flaky electrical systems and I didn't have to spend $100 grand to get educated...

Anyway, of course your right but I was remembering that the guy only spent $120 on each visit. He could be a lot of things but for the purposes of this discussion, I think he's a wacko and bad news for Cali.

I was talking to a customer tonight--cool guy from Chicago, in town with a bunch of coworkers for some convention, they've come in three nights in a row and spent money--and another dancer walks by. I comment on her outfit and how I think it's cute, and he says, "Yeah, but her tits are way too fake and she's weird." I ask "Weird how?" "Well, I had a dance from her the other night, and she wouldn't stop talking." "I talk too, you know." "Yeah, but she kept talking about weird stuff, like her gynecologist's appointment and how they were going to spread her open."

Dancer: Like for football?
Me: No, for guys who hid behind stone walls and shot the British in the 18th century.
Dancer: Oh... I don't know about that.

Me: You look happy today.
Dancer: Yeah, cuz it's my favorite holiday.

Me (laughing): "Nice work." :D
Dancer: "So I told him when you cum, it's a minimum of two dances. He just sat there wet while I danced three feet away from him like in Massachusetts."
Me: "Then what?"
Dancer: "He paid me. He was dry enough so he didn't even use the men's room. He just went back to the bar. Ten minutes later I saw him getting dances from another girl." :O

I keep waiting for something to happen to Sporty to the tune of finding out one of his quotes is a regular here :D

I think my best experience was a place in Clearwater off Ulmerton where a chick giving me a lap dance was arguing with her Bouncer Boyfriend after buying a song. I mean I was getting into this girl, and then her Boyfriend and her started arguing, about something earlier cause he started it off with, Oh By the way....

But the weirdest part, she didn't stop the dance.

And he probably could have killed me.

*Shudder*

You'd rather argue than spend one dance with the Zapper?

Most of them have given up on ever getting what they really want, so it's like a special instance of fate for them. You know Abe Maslow's hierarchy of needs, right? What you don't know is Sportswriter's hierarchy of triggers.

Ever have a dancer bake you cookies for pulling her hair just right?

No Sporty, no hair-pulling rewards. I concentrate on the ones who are in the middle of getting what they want, no hair pulling involved. I do get lots of cool gifts though, including cookies....for desert.

I've got one. I was sitting with a customer and a fellow dancer and we somehow started talking about sex stuff. I mentioned the word cunnilingus and my fellow dancer says "huh?, what's that?". I said "you know, felatio, cunnilingus, going down on someone?" With that her response was to point at her blond hair.

Dancer: "My best friend stole my vibrator. Why would she do that?"
Me: "Maybe someone stole hers and she was desperate."

Dancer: "My boyfriend stole my vibrator. Why would he do that if he doesn't wanna have sex with me?"
Me: "Maybe he doesn't want you to have sex with you. Maybe he wants you to be miserable."
Dancer: "Well I am."

Dancer: "Remember that dildo you got me?"
Me: "Yeah."
Dancer: "I lost it. I think I left it in Florida."
Me: "At least no one stole it."

Dancer: "I went to the bookstore all by myself and bought a dildo."
Me: "Hey, that's great."
Dancer: "The guy at the cash register put batteries in to test it. And he let me keep the batteries."
Me: "They're not alkaline. They only last from the bookstore to CVS."
Dancer: "How did you KNOW that?"
Me: "I just listen to dancers."

Another dancer and I gave one of my favorites My First Dildo for her 19th birthday. She was afraid to open it for six months. Then she used it once and threw it away. Why? "Cuz I was afraid I'd use it all the time."

Bouncer: Take a peek over the [saloon-type] door. This fuckin guy has ______ in handcuffs.
Me: Yeah, so...
Bouncer: What is he, fucked up?
Me: No, she likes it. She's a submissive freak.
Bouncer: She does that with you?
Me: No, I use nylon ties, not handcuffs.
Bouncer: You gotta tell me what these girls do. I was gonna throw him out.


Consensual is okay for 22 minutes (the Monday after)

Bouncer: Hey Sport, remember that fuckin guy with the handcuffs last time?
Me: Yeah.
Bouncer: After you left he did another half hour with her. I look in and he has her handcuffed, her upper arms tied and her ankles tied to the handcuffs, plus he had a dog collar on her, a blindfold, and something stuffed in her mouth....
Me: Like a ball gag, not his cock?
Bouncer: Yeah, like a red ball.
Me: That must have been fun to watch.
Bouncer: I was sweatin bullets. He had her hogtied. After 22 minutes I said, "Buddy, that's enough. Get that stuff off her."

Me: I called last Wednesday and no you.
Dancer: I was out all last week; I had two black eyes.
Me: What happened?
Dancer: Well... I called my ex-boyfriend to pick me up from work cuz I needed a ride, and he had this girl with him, she was like 16. So I said, "Who the fuck are you?" and we got into an argument, then a fight.
Me: That's how you got the black eyes?
Dancer: No, I won that fight, but she calls her older sisters, and by the time we get to her house, they're waiting to kick my ass. They pulled me out of the car and started punching me in the face and scratching me (shows scratches).
Me: So they got you good.
Dancer: Yeah, but I deserved it. I should have kept my mouth shut.

OK Sporty, I'll admit I used to think you where making some of this stuff up but last night I had an epiphany.

Dancer1(talking to my fav) "D****, I think I'm pregnant again, I have a bad feeling"

Dancer2(my fav): "Oh my God, how you can you be pregnant again already?!"

Dancer1:"My boyfriend told me he was gonna pull out, but I was on top so he couldn't."

Me: "Never believe a guy when he says he'll pull out. You could have gotten off when he told you he was coming."

Dancer1: "Yeah, I was gonna but after I came he told me he had already come twice. I was only on top of him for five minutes."

Dancer2: "Honey, you gotta take something, the pill, or make him wear a condom. They never pull out!"

Dancer1: "He promised he was gonna, but I was on top so he couldn't. I shoulda just jerked him off but I haven't had sex in so long, 'cause I was pregnant."

Me: "He came twice in five minutes and you didn't feel anything?"

Dancer1: "Yeah, but I thought it was me, I haven't cum in so long. He said he was gonna pull out but I was on top so he couldn't. If I'm pregnant again this will make four kids between us."

Me: "Have you thought about one of you guys getting fixed?"

Dancer1: "No! I want ten kids!"

Doesn't sound like an unreachable goal to me.....

Epiphany should be a dancer's name. And the pregnant ones should get free pink tee shirts that say, "I trusted him."

I totally believe your story. I used to have a fave, 22, who had a tight little body that would make you think "no kids." Her abusive BF got her pregnant with what she said was #4. Another regular paid for her abortion. She took the money and had the baby anyway. Then another fave told me, "That's #6. She had two by a Portuguese businessman and they're with him." ::)

I see it all as surreal, stuff you couldn't make up because no one would believe you. It's outside the fact/fiction zone.



So true. That's another problem with trying to write about the Industry.

You know, I go through my old notebooks sometimes, looking for things I might add to this thread. But I can never find anything quite right. The dialogue I wrote down between dancers tends not to make them look pathetic or stupid or crazy (but then, I don't love pathetic quite like you do, Sporty ;))...the dancers in my captured dialog tend to sound smart and insightful and cool....It's interesting. I don't doubt the veracity of the conversations you recount, I just think we must be using different filters.

There are a few exceptions...but I sort of hesitate to post them, out of some defensive desire to avoid making dancers look bad. Here's an example:

Dancer #1: Have you seen T lately?
Dancer #2: Oh, yeah, T and I are good friends.
Dancer #1: I know. That's why I asked. She was in here last night. She was sad.
Dancer#2: Oh yeah. Earl, her boyfriend. He beat her up last night.
Dancer #3: He beat her up? That's terrible.
Dancer #2: Yeah...
Dancer #1: That's not good.
Dancer#2: No, she was happy. She said, 'It was great! He beat the shit out of me and then he fucked me! It was the most attention I got from him all week!'
Dancer #3 (incredulous): She said that?
Dancer #1 (laughing): I can relate to that.
Dancer #2: Me too.
Dancer #3: Me too.

I was Dancer #1.
See....it's not quite right for "S or S", is it....but maybe close?

Nic, if you start a thread for Smart, Insightful and Cool, I'll post good stuff there. This is where I empty my sadness. If you don't laugh, you cry.

Sporty - I have to ask. Do you really hate this that much? I've worked 50 hours a week in a club and never encountered stories like these. I have never been to a dancer funeral. You have little sad faces in the stories, but it seems like you really must seek them out. There is a plethora of pretty, bland girls in strip clubs, and certainly as many clever and amusing ones as those as dismal as what you've outlined.

Sporty - I have to ask. Do you really hate this that much? I've worked 50 hours a week in a club and never encountered stories like these. I have never been to a dancer funeral. You have little sad faces in the stories, but it seems like you really must seek them out.
From 9/99 thru 8/03, friends and I wrote on TUSCL as Sportswriter2, copying the style and phrases of a Providence Journal sportswriter. We had customers, dancers and club staff e-mailing us all the time. I was the sportswriter dancers knew (we gave awards three times a year and someone had to take the bribes). ;)

Years later, people still come over and want to tell me stuff. I never sought anything out in particular, but the volume of info yielded a critical mass of "stoned or something" stories. :-\

I also notice teeth, bruises, cuts, tattoos and other details that tell a lot about a dancer's past. I've been on scores of "tattoo tours" where the dancer describes her tattoos in the order she got them. She'll explain scars along the way, because tats sometimes cover the cuts and burns of self-mutilation. :-\

Most guys walk into clubs to chill and look for a dancer they like. I look for interesting interactions, even when I'm with a dancer. :)
