    Default Peelers ?

    Here's a link to last Thursday's Denver Post:

    http://www.denverpost.com/entertainm...341?source=pop

    It's an interview with the owner of Shotgun Willie's. Mildly interesting.

    My question to the board: the author uses the term peeler twice in his intro. I've seen him use it in print before, but never anyone else. Does anyone, anywhere, use the word "peeler" ? Is this his way of showing he's a downtown kinda cat, hip to the lingo? Is it a linguistic relic from Damon Runyan, or the days of Carol Doda? Or is "stripper" maybe too controversial for a family newspaper so a euphemism is needed?

    Thoughts?

    It's common up here. Also: Rippers...as in "we're going to the rippers tonight".

    Striptease dancers were once referred to as peelers because they would "peel" their clothes off slowly.

    Okay, done educating... going to read the article!

    To me, peeler's are soft shell crabs, batter dipped, deep fried on a hard roll with lettuce, tomato and mayo. OOOOOHAAAAA

    Damm, now I am hungry.

    ^^^ If that were the case I'd be a prime example come about Wednesday. My upper thighs are totally burned & look like a lobster right now from rafting on Saturday through the Royal Gorge. I just know on Wednesday they are probably going to start peeling.

    anytime i hear peeler, i think of someone peeling their skin off. some stripper memoir i read a while back, the author said the same thing. anyone know which one?

    i actually like that one. sounds badass.

    there's a lot of cutesy terms for what we do. but if someone's gonna say peeler or ecdysiast (whatever that word is), i'd really rather just be called a whore. i'm not a showman. and burlesque doesn't class up lust. i'll show pink before i do a fan show. stripper is only an insult if you feel dirty about it. and i don't. so fuck the euphemisms.

    Belated thanks for the post and link. I hadn't seen the article. I like Shotgun's, but I dislike the smoke. It's great to have a club in town that's not part of the evil empire, and especially a club owned by a woman.

    You mean it's "smoking allowed" or a cigar bar...? I have been meaning to check it out, missed it on my trip through CO. How is it lately? PM me with info if you're willing. Thanks.

    It's a cigar bar, that's the loophole that allows some SC's in CO get around the legal smoking ban in bars. It does get stinky in some areas when they are promoting the cigar of the night & guys want to try it.

    I find the girls are very good re: "do you mind if I smoke (a cigarette) ?" You can say it's OK but you don't smoke yourself, & they blow it away from you. So I've had many nice evenings with dancers who were smokers, but were courteous about it. In fact, to boil it down to the simplest possible terms - I find the girls are very good.

    P.S. I'm going to e-mail Hustead at the Post and tell him that "peelers" is passe, strippers are now called RIPPERS by those in the know.
