Lingerie modeling in Portland, OR?
Does anyone have any advice on which shops in Portland are good to work at? I'm not interested in any sexual contact with customers...
Also can someone give me an idea of what a lingerie model is supposed to do? Like is it usually masturbation shows? I'm kind of confused because I know that it's illegal for any performer to do masturbation shows or touch her body in any way now (in Oregon), so I'm just wondering how all the tons of shops here get away with it. Or do they just not worry about it?

I've worked at a couple of lingerie modeling shops in Portland 3 years ago. Since then, some of the rules and regulations about masturbation show and such have gotten stricter. From what I hear, these rules are never enforced. I'd try to work at Private Pleasures, or Baby Dolls, both in Southwest Portland. Good luck!

Lingerie modeling in Portland is usually about $80 for a 20 minute show. I think that the guys expect a lot of contact during the shows and many models are out right giving extras in some of the studios. The modeling takes place in your own private room with a door that closes and locks. I have seen rooms w/ fold out futons in them, so I think you get the idea. There is usually a lot more than just modeling going on in some of these places.
I think that the girls today are more willing to break the law here in Oregon because there isn't enough money in the state budget to prosecute minor crimes, so the cops don't even bother busting these places for basic prostitution anymore. But on the plus side, those girls make a lot of money, much more than club dancers in Portland, for the most part.
Probably the best way to find out if it is the kind of work you want to do, is to just go and audition. If it isn't for you, just pack up your things and go home, no harm no foul.
