    They did that when I lived in San Antonio... my advice is to look at them and laugh.

    I get protestors at my work all the time (I work for a defense contractor), and we're always advised to let them have their say, and never, EVER, engage them verbally or physically.

    Don't let them get under your skin, Bella. For your well-being, and also, for your personal safety, ignore them. Go about your business as if they aren't there.

    Flash them some nipple! Tell them that one was on you!

    That reminds me of all the supermarket picketing that took place awhile back here in California. I am a Cali transplant and not particularly loyal to any one grocery chain, so I would walk past the picketers all the time. Just hold your head up high and remember you are on a mission to make money. It will take 5 seconds to get past them and then you'll be fine. Just don't be mean in return to some of the mean things they may say to you and you'll be okay, trust me. In a few weeks (if that) they will all go home, I'm sure, and you'll have something to look back on and laugh at.

    If they are really hostile, have someone drop you off at work though, so your car doesn't get vandalized. "Scabs" who worked in the supermarkets here in Cali during the strike would often times come out of work to find their tires slashed or cars keyed. SO STUPID!

    I think that's good advice but I don't know if I would have the strength to do it myself. I think I would probably end up saying something along the lines of "Thanks for the free advertising"

    That really sucks, and I think it actually would drive away customers. Guys usually don't want to be seen going into a strip club, so they definitely wouldn't want to be harrassed by protestors, especially when they could just up and go to another club.

    I have worked at a new club that also had picketers (sp?) outside. This only brought more guys to the club. This was one of the first nude clubs close to Dayton, Ohio. The picketers brought the media, which was free advertisement for the club. On thursdays, friday's, and saturday's there would be a line out the front door of people waiting to come in. We even had a church picket us.

    We were told not to say anything at all to them, just smile. This way there would be no conflict started on a "personal" level.

    Pickiters, pickiters... Oh, PICKETERS! Well, that is something I wouldn't want to face. I'll gladly turn around and leave then hope they don't show up again. Anonimity is the name of the game in this business, both for dancers and clients.

    Well I used to have a group of christian women waiting in the strip club parking lot every night to attack me with roses/carnations with little sayings attached like "Jesus Loves You" and they'd mention to hope to see me at their next service. They never took up any of my time and I love to get flowers lol but I just was polite and said thank you and was on my way. But then again that's different than pickiters I suppose. But still I believe that if you smile and be polite they may not think were all that bad. Kill them with kindness.

    While I realize this doesn't exactly qualify as "encouragement," nevertheless thought you might want to consider wearing a hat, sunglasses, etc., and looking at ground from time you get out of car until inside - protesters of all persuasions have been adopting the tactics of some of the abortion clinic protesters lately and doing crap like posting pictures on the web.

    Whew! I had someone drop me off and walk me to the door... a guy They were too busy having at it with him so I got to sneak right by! I'm going in at four today... they're probably still there... I got a good look at them... who'da thought they'd all be middle aged, overweight women? The club was so packed people were standing everywhere(it's in a really preppy town just north of san diego)! It was full of men and a TON of girls... everyone was sooo crazy I felt like I'd get my clothes torn off... one kept saying how hot I was (heh heh heh) and crawled a bit on stage while I was on... oh speaking of the stage... the pole had been broken the night before so everyone was crawling on their knees all night... ah, definately NOT a boring night I don't know what to expect this time around!

    Ha! Classic I don't recall seeing any men though.... I think I saw one the first night... but he must have been like 300 lbs so maybe he counts as two? I feel sooo much better! Stripperweb rocks!

    Spray pepper spray in their faces. LOL.

    I have worked in several clubs that were being picketed. Customers still come in. In time picketers go away in some clubs or they just focus on key nights like Saturdays.
