(If you want to know what it is for some reason, just download the magazine as a PDF and find the ad. I keep wanting to phone him up and give him a piece of my mind.)

    There's just so much wrong with this, I can't even list all of it. He wants a woman as a commodity, but tries to look like a "rescuer" -- more like a life-long strip club experience, I'm sure. Yeah. Instead of being a fantasy dream girl for hours of every day, be one for the REST OF YOUR LIFE. Keep up the facade of love and gratitude in exchange for this loser's pocketbook. That's not a way out, that's a way deep, deep in. Anyone who can do this without going insane, more power to her, but that's not anyone I know.
    I dated a guy like this. The straw that broke the camel's back was when he looked at me like I was a toddler & said, "Now, you KNOW you can't keep dancing if you're with me, right?" M*therf*cker, you met me through my dancing! Unfortunately, I only thought that response in my head- I was too amazed at his stupidity to say anything.
    YEAH as far as I know he never got a girl to take the "rescue" bait I rejected- he was a loser looking for the life-long fantasy dream girl.

    It's totally possible that some woman wants to be that girl for the $$$, but if she does, she's sure as hell not looking for "a way out"!

    I don't get that either. I've been with a couple of guys since i started dancing and they tried to say that I can't dance. My reply was 'Are you going to cover my expenses?' No? I didn't think so.

    They must think it's a thing like a hobby or a relationship. Not, you know, a JOB.

    Thanks, Chastity and ntbubbles. I used to want to be a newspaper columnist. I read Mike Royko and Ellen Goodman and Bob Green and so on all the time. I guess some of it rubbed off after all!

    [quote=Katrine;912765]Ok, I'm screwed up. But then again, I was screwed up before and after stripping. There are certainly some consequences of this industry. But then again, there are psychological consequence of being a garbageman too. Notice how people speak to their kids when they don't study: "Keep doing this and you'll wind up being a garbageman!"

    Waste collectors serve an extremely important role to us. Yet they are looked down up as the least ideal job to do. Imagine how that feels to a father with a family he supports this way.

    This is a bit off topic,but yeah,I do agree.They say this a lot especially in europe.My father used to say that if I don't study I'll be selling cucumbers and potatoes at a farmers market,or even passiong out toilet paper in a public toilet.
    But....about the garbageman......It's so ironic,I met one in NYC,and can you believe,it turns out that he ran most of the trash collection business for Manhattan and Brooklyn,the guy was a millionaire.So....I've learned my lesson from this,you just never know.

    -slowly joining you on the off topic trail-.....

    Yeah that was her. At the end it said that she was no longer stripping or binging. Yay she is saved! -eye roll-

    I wrote a letter too. Ugh, what a terrible article. I can't imagine any stripper ever CRYING because they were given gift bags full of tacky crap. I can't even imagine strippers not getting those women kicked out of the club immediately for being a nuisance.

I don't know about you girls, but I am sick of my club hiring new girls ALL THE FU**ING TIME! and I am sick of groups of girls showing up at my club and acting like ignorant boneheads. Let all those girls and women out there think that stripping is bad -- see if I care!
    No, all this article will do is keep out the intelligent young women who don't want to "degrade" themselves. We will continue to see the drugged-out, co-dependent girls come in who don't think they can do any better. And the sharp, assertive girls who may have considered it if Glamour had bothered to give a two-sided, unbiased article may no longer even consider it as a profession because of the negative light in which it's been portrayed. I don't think this article will do anything for the people who desperately need the money and don't feel that they have any other options (especially people like Miss Star Dust who apparently seem forced into the career by deadbeat boyfriends). However, it will probably make everyone else think twice.

    So sad. The truth is that we need more stable and awesome, pro-active- SW-esque women in this profession to show everyone how truly COOL strippers can be.

    But don't you think that if an "intelligent young women" or "sharp, assertive girls" saw this article they would be bright enough to realize there are ALWAYS two sides to a coin? I wonder how many of us here are those descriptions and did hear only negative things about the industry and checked it out for themselves anyways??

    Of course, but that's not to say that the discouragement of Glamour will help their negative views. And this article definitely has the potential to reach out to people, otherwise, it wouldn't be such a big deal to us.

    Thats a complete bunch of crap (the article that is). Stripping actually kept me out of the poor house and furthered my education. If it wasn't for stripping I wouldn't have two degrees, a house, a new expensive car, everything that I could possibly want (within reason) and my boyfriend.

    I don't drink like a fish nor do I do any drugs nor do I prostitute myself out.

    Now I do have a harsh outlook on religion but who wouldn't when it compromises their job?

    WTF?

    i wrote a letter and sent it via snailmail. it pretty much contained what everyone else said above. i dispute what ms. dust says about all strippers being unhappy women. last night a fellow dancer asked me if i was happy, in general, pointing out that i'm young, single, and a graduate student with no children. i said yes, i was. i elaborated by telling her that these circumstances alone don't make me happy because like every other person, i have problems as well. i'm a happy person with problems. yay!

    anyways, i started thinking if my fellow dancers were happy people. i concluded that the majority probably were. yet ms. dust probably only could see the negative parts of her coworker's lives in the dressing room. for some reason the dressing room just brings out a lot of negativity in everyone. it's a toxic place that i try to avoid as much as possible.

    are the rest of you strippers happy wo(men)?

    I'm incredibly happy knowing that I'm going to graduate with a PhD and ZERO student loan debt. While still being able to avoid the life of your typical starving grad student. No ramen here! Ha!


    Three cheers for stripping!

    Having always considered Glamour to be one of the only halfway decent, woman-positive mainstream mags out there, reading this article was a definite shock. Glamour should be publishing articles about strong, independent, positive women (and they often do), not digging up sleaze pieces that cast judgement on an entire group of women. Shame on you, Glamour!! My letter went out yesterday.

    I can’t believe this article. I just picked up the magazine today and was blindsided by it. I will be writing in a letter to the editor and encouraging everyone else to do so as well.
