Great article by Kayden Kross at Salon.com





^^^ That article, and it's publication, tend to prove that adult industry workers are looked down upon by people spanning the entire spectrum from Hollywood liberals to bible thumping conservatives. Indeed, Kayden's observation about 'laughing all the way to the bank' is correct, on the surface at least.



Interesting read.
I have to confess that reading the nasty comments left on this very inoffensive and insightful article spurred me to do something I never have before: create an account on a site like Salon to comment supporting her. It irritated me so much how many people were saying things like, "Well, what did you expect, you dumb porn star?" and "Why doesn't she think of the children???" that I had to interject. I'm sure it won't do any good, especially since I admit to being a stripper in my comment. But in case she ever reads the comments I wanted her to know at least someone appreciated her writing.





^^^Now I want to go see what you posted. Oh wait you probably didn't sign them 'fishielicious'...

^^Ha! Yeah, I wasn't sure what I could do to look less credible on a forum like that, but going by "fishielicious" would probably do it.





I think I figured out who you were anyway. Well done...

And yeah that was a very well written article by Kayden Kross.
She managed to defend against the stereotyping and predictably judgmental reactions of the 'civilian' types, without glossing over the very real seediness so often encountered in a lot of these clubs. These people who try to claim that stripping is no different from office work, retail sales, or whatthehellever are living in Cloud Cuckoo Land.
The only thing that made me skeptical was when she claimed that the manager fired all the girls who were barking at her that one night--if indeed it was a sizable proportion of the total lineup. But hey if he even fired a couple ringleaders, he would have been better than by far most managers I have worked with, especially up in Daytona. I worked with one guy up there who would brace the DR door shut & watch them literally kick the shit out of each other. But that was a pretty rough club...
She can write circles around Jenna Jameson (who obviously also had considerable help).

I wouldn't be so certain that Kayden Kross needed help in her writing, unlike Jenna Jameson.
The article in the Sacramento State newspaper that she referred to in at the beginning of the Salon.com article said that her writing had been published in a literary magazine while she was still in college
