    Feed the Strippers... that shit is asinine and condescending.

    Can these people go to Fashion Week and feed the models or something instead?

    Summer--I'm with you! I've put up with so much BS in vanilla jobs. As a cocktail waitress at a regular club, I was groped 20x a night and my manager told me it was my fault for "acting like I knew I was pretty." No bouncers to come to my rescue there. As a breakfast restaurant customers treated me completely subhuman and would freak out if their latte tasted like 1% instead of 2%. I had a people telling me if I couldn't make the kitchen cook their food faster, I didn't deserve to be a waitress (because they had "important" jobs they were on their way to and didn't want to be late. In high school, I had a crazy man smash a taco on my head because I didn't put enough hot sauce in his take-out bag (Taco Bell--nightmares.) I realize that my job experience is kinda lame. I've been dancing exclusively for quite awhile, but my sister is a medical researcher for a huge university and she has to deal with SO many condescending, nasty sexist idiots in order to get funding. It's worth it for her. It's a great job, but she LOVES my stories about telling customers off and dreams about doing that to some of her colleagues. I'm not saying that stripping is the best job ever. I just hate how so many people view dancers as victims. In vanilla jobs you can't walk away from a crazy customer. The customer is always right. At the club, if someone is making you wanna eat glass, you can find a better customer. Sometimes you can even tell the nasty customers that they should eat glass.

    ^That's funny! Your sister's job is the only job I ever preferred to dancing, but I was never at the level which would require me to schmooze donors for funding. Just a technician/assistant, and I loved my colleagues, which was part of the reason I loved the job so much.

    And your sister's experience just goes to show, disrespectful bigots are everywhere. At least WE get to choose how we deal with them!
    “The irony of commitment is that it's deeply liberating -- in work, in play, in love. The act frees you from the tyranny of your internal critic, from the fear that likes to dress itself up and parade around like rational hesitation. To commit is to remove your head as the barrier to your life.”

    We have some ladies that stop by the front desk once every couple months. They just drop off a gift bag for each girl there that night and leave. But they're with the battered women's shelter not some BS church group. Each bag has a card in it with their address and number. I find that much less offensive than the guise of a church group, ESP since this is a lower teir club where I know a lot of the girls do have assorted issues at home.

    My old club has a group of church ladies, don't know if it was this one or not. But hell at least they cut our hair and waxed brows/lips in the DR! We don't need handouts but hell a free good haircut and wax? Damn straight we took advantage.

    a lot of the girls at the club i was at were all about it (maybe like 75%), it was like it was there fav night of the week and they'd just binge on all the food, while these women are giving them "jesus loves strippers too" pamplets, it was kinda funny

    Last year, a Nashville preacher’s wife started hanging out in local strip clubs. But Erin Stevens didn’t stay for the show. She came bearing food. Home cooked meals, actually.

    “I just felt God say, ‘Go feed the strippers,’” says Stevens. About a year later, Stevens is still feeding strippers, sometimes bringing them other gifts donated by local businesses. On one occasion she visited the strippers with $150 worth of Mary Kay cosmetics, which she gave away.

    Stevens is not alone in her outreach effort to strippers. She attended a training session run by a national network called Strip Church. The national organization’s web site describes it as a network of “forward-thinking women and men who are reaching out into the sex industry in incredible ways.”

    The site lists several other cities where Strip Church holds training and has set up ministries for women in the sex industry, including Los Angeles, Phoenix and Orange County, Calif.
    Stevens shows up early in the evening, before the strippers start work.

    “I bring the girls gifts,” she said. “Lip gloss, fingernail polish and more. I just ask about their kids, and family and their lives. I show them love. I don’t thump a Bible and preach.”

    It’s the practical, non-judgmental approach that has allowed Stevens to get through to at least some of the strippers.
    “She didn’t chastise me, and she was the first to tell me ‘God still loves you. You’re here, but He hasn’t left you,’” said one, identified by the alias “Sarah” to protect her privacy. “She wasn’t begging or bugging me, and she wasn’t handing me a Bible and she wasn’t trying to change me, she was trying to help me.”
    Eventually, Sarah showed up at the Friendship Community Church, where Stevens’ husband Todd is a pastor. Soon after that, another churchgoer found her a new job and Sarah quit doffing her duds for cash.
    “I decided I would never go back [to stripping],” she said. “I took a leap of faith and just put my trust in God 100 percent.”
    That preacher's wife to feed the poor instead of giving cake to strippers. I believe this woman need to spend time fixing the public schools or helping adults find work.

    We use to have 3 girls come in. They brough little snacks, baby wipes, alcohol and other knick knacks and goodies. They would have meaningful verses on cute cards that we'd hang around the dressing room. Very nice girls! But to the point of the article....feed the homeless ot streetwalkers. Us girls (I'd hope) make decent enough money to feed us and our kids
