So last night I went to try out this club in Holborn. It looked good, the house mom was nice and when I got changed I went to the bar to see the action. And there was action. A lot of ass-grabbing action while the customers and girls were merely talking. In fact, I didn't see one conversation that didn't include the customer feeling the girl. The girls basically just threw themselves on the guys, rubbing themselves agaist them etc. Then I got a glimpse of the LD room and that was something too. I only saw one dance being done but it included the girl sitting deeply in the guys lap and him touching the girls boobs. Apparently the "non" part can be interpreted in various ways when it comes to the touching rules. The VIP area was upstairs and when in VIP they'd close the curtains completely so no one could see what was going inside. Guessing from what could be seen happening downstairs it was either that or more in the VIP. Oh and the pole/stage, well, it was a joke in the back corner. No rotation, nobody cared about any kind of actual dancing at all. It was clearly all about the FEELing.
And then there was me leaving. Fast. Angry. Because when we dancers could have so much more doing so much less, instead we allow this to happen, our work turning into something completely different. Many strip clubs in London seem to be more like hostessing, the girls have to talk and talk to squeeze even one LD from a guy, as if it didn't make sense to them to have dances when they come to a strip club. Tips don't even seem to exist (except for this one club that still focuses on the stage show even though they have a private dancing area too but it's only topless), nobody gives a fuck about the performances. Nobody thinks that being almost naked on stage is worth any kind of appreciation. Yes, pounds don't come in one pound bills like dollars, but would it be too much to tip even your favourite girl a fiver??? And unlike in some other parts of the world, here you take your top off on stage rotation for nothing -what new does that really leave for the guys to see in a private dance? That's why many guys just come in to the club, have drinks and watch near nudity for free. In their eyes we are worth nothing and also treated that way.
I have to say one thing about most of the guys that come to London strip clubs: I've never met so many complete cocksucker asshole dickheads in my whole life as I have during this summer. I hope to channel these feelings into a stripper slasher movie that'll make Zombie Strippers look like freaking teletubbies.

If/when I get the movie script together I'll definitely look actresses from stripperweb! I'd like it to have the same kind of feeling of reality and attitude that Russ Meyer had in his films.
