    Default Confessions Of An Ex Scores Stripper

    My audition at Scores West called for putting on a slinky polyester outfit, fake hair and too much makeup, and then slithering around a small stage half-undressed while a belching manager stared at me. I downed three shots, got on the stage, and after 30 seconds, they hired me.
    It sounds easy, but managers would make girls they had no intention of hiring dance on that same stage for up to 20 minutes. Why? Because they could. Everyone wanted to work at Scores.

    Ruth Fowler is the author of the memoir "No Man's Land" (Viking).

    Other than copyright violation, is there a point to this?

    From the article: "Lindsay Lohan, Kate Moss, the Foo Fighters, Christina Aguilera, the Giants - even Stevie Wonder came in, which always cracked me up. I mean, what did he get out of a place with an (ostensible) no-touching-just-looking rule?"

    BAWAHAHAHAHAHA! No touch rule at Scores! That's funny.

    The sanctity of the no touch rule at Scores is inversely proportional to your height when sitting on your wallet, or to that of your celebrity status.

    Stevie wouldn't have had any problem. Anything he couldn't see he could have read in braile, and that includes just about any of the dancers.

    Sorry, but its the truth.

    BTW, while we are on the subject, is it needed to point out the obvious: That it is just possible that if you are willing to judge the worth of someone simply by what you read on a website about them it might say a whole hell of a lot more about you than it says about the person you are judging?

    I read the post article on Mimi's book. If that is any indication of her take on Scores it sounds like she was very honest and nailed the place for exactly what it was.

I hold a couple of copyrights and also have to deal with using excerpts from written and recorded works in my business. Printing an entire story without the permission of the author and or whomever else owns the rights to is is illegal. Printing an excerpt (as the original post has been edited to reflect) is OK. Printing a link is also perfectly fine.

    Three words... "Fair Use Doctrine".

    I would imagine the content as provided in this thread would fall under it, and thus be protected from being civilly liable to tort action for violating intellectual property rights, or the copyright of the New York Post [who, themselves, used the same doctrine to copy the excerpt, as I didn't see the customary "used with permission of" to qualify it as having been giving the permission of the author.

    Fair Use will not likely cover the entirety of an article and nobody here is going to go and check the permissions on everything that people that repost here. That is why we ask people to to provide links and short excerpts rather than reprinting an entire article.

    GR, I know all about fair use regulations. I have to deal with them almost every time I go to work.
    Excerpts are not a problem but printing the story in it's entirety without permission from whomever owns the rights to it is a violation. You may not have seen the original post before I reported it and it was edited but the story was reprinted completely.

    copy/paste is also rather lame, using quote tags is much better because you are always aware the poster is not the author of the article.

    edit: but interesting read.

    eh im pretty sure its like that at any club. i doubt there is a single club out there where the girls and management dont make exceptions to the rules for a customer that is high roller enough.

    at least its better than working at a club where customers expect full touching for the price of a lapdance :-/

    Paige, I see so many of the women here complaining about clubs that are basically brothels with a strip-club veneer.

    For anyone with FoM or celebrity status, or the right $$$, that was what Scores West was.

    Ah. OK. When I saw initially saw the post it was in excerpted form.
