    Default "I am too smart and educated - this can't happen to me."

    A cautionary tale:


    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBUaN1AzjL4

    http://www.thestar.com/news/crime/20...ault_case.html

    http://www.yorkregion.com/news-story...nto-nightmare/

    "Jasmine left her home in Sault Saint Marie for the University of Western Ontario in London ... to study medical science."

    ...

    “I fell in love with luxury. I wanted UGG boots, Juicy Couture sweats, Tiffany jewelry, a Mercedes-Benz, Range Rover, Rolex Oyster watch, Mont Blanc pens … you name it, I yearned for it,”

    ...

    "The search for more money and material items eventually led her to the door of London’s local strip joint, Solid Gold, where she began working as a waitress."

    ...

    "After becoming acquainted with other strippers, she quickly became aware the money in Toronto was double the amount earned elsewhere."

    ...

    “It was easy money. I was making $1,000 a night at the Toronto clubs,” said the York Region resident. “I worked everywhere in the GTA.”

    The clubs included For Your Eyes Only, Brass Rail and the Landing Strip.

    One night, weeks after stripping had become her full-time gig, a man she described as tall, dark and handsome offered to buy her a drink at her then-club, the Landing Strip, in Mississauga."

    ...

    “He used to buy me nice things and take me on dates and promised to buy me a condominium,”

    ...

    "And although Jasmine knew his line of work from the get-go, Joseph had soothed any worries she had by telling her that even though he was working as a pimp, he was not like the others, but, instead, helping his “stable” of women to take care of their money, purchase homes and look after themselves and their dependants."

    ...

    “The beat-ups began with a firm grasp on the arm and gradually turned into severe attacks, ending in broken ribs, broken noses and barely being able to move,”

    ...

    "She pegged the amount of money she made over three years at $300,000, however, in the end, she was only left with $60,000.

    Most of it went to frivolous expenditures, such as handbags, clothes and buying her man a $20,000 Rolex."

    ...

    “He forced me to get pregnant because he knew I was thinking about leaving,”

    ...



    Did everything happen exactly as described in this article and the video? I don't know.
    Everybody will have to make up their own mind.
    I am thinking that she is honest - there is a scar on her face and her nose does appear to have been broken.

    Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. Unless you know the author/poster personally, why are you getting so defencive? Sadly, sm girls are stupid enough to let themselves get sucked into the big-ticket lifestyle, & best case scenario they just end up broke & wornout from yrs of trying to maintain that lifestyle, or worst-case they do even stupider things like this girl apparently did.

    Even if it is embellished --& I am not judging bc I just read the OP, didn't look at the links -- there is still an important core message to be taken from this story.

    Just because a woman is educated doesn't mean she can't fall prey to unsavory characters like greedy pimps or people who are skilled manipulators.

    There is a difference between being book smart/educated and being street smart and emotionally intelligent.

    The part that I do find totally believeable is the part that says she made over 300K in the span of three years but only having about 60K left.

    It's incredible the amount of money many dancers blow up in expensive shit forgetting that just because they could earn as much as a doctor or attorney...dancing is a much shorter career, so saving and investing are a must.

    That is where she was lacking- in street and emotional smarts. She allowed herself to become a victim. I'm glad she is back on track and I'm also glad that she is using her story to warn other girls. To survive in this industry you have to be quick-witted and all aspects but most importantly, stay away from people who are out to destroy you.

    I worked in Toronto for years while I was in university, and unfortunately I think the only part of the story that's embellished is her earnings...$1000 a night...go fuck yourself...maybe if you're doing extras. Which I wouldn't put past this chick I should add. She sounds like the type that would have started giving out cookie passes and handies right off the bat. And I guess if you started in Toronto you would think that that's normal behaviour. It's sad but true that upwards of 80% of the girls in the toronto clubs sell sex. The last club I worked there would be 25-50 girls on the floor every night. There was only two other girls I met in my 6 months of working there that also did not do extras of any kind. Some of the girls try to dance clean but will sell hjs, bjs, full service, etc, as needed, or to make their "quota". The environment in that city is very different than the rest of Ontario. The 15% cut that goes to the club sounds about right too. I was told to take a hike from my club once they found out I wasn't turning tricks because "they weren't making enough money off of me." Being one of the busiest girls most nights with customers, in a club that made $10 off of every customer I took for a dance in addition to my house fee, it wasn't that hard to put two and two together...

    With all the extras come lots of pimps who want a piece. And they don't even try to keep them out of the clubs. They come in and sit and watch their girls all night. When the girls don't have clients they go and sit with them, it's so obvious. Girls will openly talk about their "teams" and "men" in the dressing room. One time a girl got the shit kicked out of her in the DR because she tried to leave the "team" and her pimp had another girl beat her up. It's friggin insane, and why I stopped working in the region entirely. The hypocrisy of this story is the part about the police wanting to stop the pimps. LOL.

    They ARE the pimps, I'd be willing to bet. I've seen Rob Ford inside Toronto strip clubs more often than the police. Which is never, ever, not once, in three years dancing in that city. Who wants to bet that 15% of the money the club earns from girls tricking then gets passed on to the Toronto police in order to buy the club protection from busts. Fuck that city. Best advice is to steer clear ladies. There's easier, cleaner, and pimp/bullshit-free money to be made elsewhere.

    I've seen girls addicted to drugs as well as cash & this industry can eat anybody up. I've read all of your 24 posts OP & you seem to have a strange outlook on this biz & I wonder why you seem to post such posts? Are you trying to educate us on it, show the board something we didn't know?

    I am trying to educate myself not you.
    I am also really interested about education - more specifically the cost/benefit angle.
    -
    My first post referenced video where a few strippers among other people were interviewed - so O asked a question.

    I am not the Born Again Christian - the former stripper is.

    If what is in the video is common knowledge to everybody in the industry - I apologize for wasting your time.
    Personally I was surprised how much "investment" in time and money the pimp put in to entrap his victim - so I posted the links.

    A captain save-a-ho doesn't have to be a born again Christian. It's pretty much another title for the internet white knight.

    The "pimp" guy in the article is a dumb gigolo. BTW men have been pulling this crap on young pretty fast living women since classic rock groupies roamed the earth and hair metal band guys mooched off of aspiring actresses and strippers in LA.

    ETA- aside from the fisheyed looking "pimp" boyfriend and the Born Again Housewifemommy angle....ANY dancer who makes that kind of money that fast & doesn't save any or spend it on necessary things is a farking moron. Honestly even some doctors don't even make the kind of money she described in the article. She could have easily failed as hard being a coke dealer, but with her lack of street smarts she probably would have been murdered instead of put out to pasture with a toddler.

    I dislike how she's against all sexwork. Yes, some people get in bad situations and want out, but some are safer and smarter and are perfectly content. Hell, being stuck at home with two screaming toddlers? THAT'S what I'd want to be rescued from.

    lol, true.

    IMO women like her are too unbalanced to succeed in the adult industry b/c ....having a giant floppy ego will not take you anywhere. Some describe the adult biz as a "service" industry job and it is- you are serving the needs of others. One has to be able to be rational/smartly calculating to deal with escorting clients.

    I'm more amazed she had such a derpy "pimp". I've heard that pimps in Canada are more organized/hardworking. If she had ended up in a more beneficial arrangement she might have kept working, but it would not have been healthy for her.

    ^I wouldn't be surprised if that's true that the pimps work harder/are more organized here. A lot of the pimped out girls work 6 days a week, 7 hour shift minimum. That's always the biggest giveaway/hint that a girl has one. I don't know many dancers that work that much of their own free will unless they're saving for something and it's temporary.
