    Well, I keep checking, but no response from them on my end. I figure sometime this month, while standing in line to buy my booze (so I can make it through my day of horror as a stripper) I'll flip through the pages and see if anything came of our responses.

    Sent this..... A little late to the thread...

    Concerning, "No One Should Have to be a Stripper," January 2007.

    I really hope that in the future you will include either an opposing view point in your magazine or offer an unbiased article. "No one should have to be a stripper" has offended me and many of my colleagues to the level of looking for beauty and fashion tips elsewhere, perhaps Cosmopolitan. I have always found your Glamour Women and Hero's articles inspiring and uplifting but, "No one should have to be a stripper" was, in my opinion a cheap "this will sell" story.

    You can be happy, healthy, and successful in the adult entertainment industry without experiencing the fall out Harmony Dust describes in her editorial. Perhaps her experiences in the field of Exotic Dance are directly correlated to her messed up childhood. In my experience, people who have to overcome a difficult adolescence are stricken with a pessimistic attitude and a need to be validated by people other then themselves. I have seen girls fall to stereotypical behavior in every job I have ever held, not limited to Exotic Dance. I have also seen many articulate and educated women succeed in making enough money to provide for their own homes, children, and education. I have always held this publication to a high esteem and I am sorely disappointed.

    Finally, congratulations to Harmony Dust for finding a good man to take care of you and for finding god, I hope you live a happy and productive life. As for your missionary work.... I will be on the look out for you and your friends, and if I should see you I will explain just where you can stick your lip gloss. (unless of course, it happens to be M-A-C.)

    Nothing like a form letter to make you feel heard. Here's mine:

    Certainly no one was telling her to stop. Once, Harmony invited her mother to the club and got a supportive response. “Mom told me I brought art into the dancing,” she says.

    HER MOM CAME AND WATCHED HER.....

    She had just finished her performance and was about to start tapping men on the shoulder for table dances when “Purple Rain” came on. “I stopped in my tracks. When I auditioned to that song, I’d said to myself I was only going to do this for a couple of months, and now it was almost three years.” Hearing that music seemed destined: It was time to stop.

    "THE PURPLE RAIN MADE ME DO IT!" AHHHH Good to know that it wasn't the touching, grinding, or showing her puss to countless men for 3 years... it was the "purple rain" niiiiiice


    By spring 2000, not only had Harmony earned her B.A.—magna cum laude—in psychology from UCLA but she had a happy, healthy relationship with a hip-hop singer and songwriter named John Dunkin, whom she’d met at church. “What made me fall in love with her was her heart,” he says. “Well, maybe it was her legs and her heart—that big, bumbling heart, full of love for friends and God and family.”

    So she quit dancing and hooked up with a man that likes her legs... oh and of COURSE her heart. Good greif!

    Motley Crue made me strip, all of those videos I watched growing up. I'm suing them for stealing my youth and innocense. Take back the night ladies!

    Got my generic letter. I feel fantastic, even grateful that they took the time to e-mail me back....MmmmHmmm, I sure do....

    So I grabbed a mag standing in line at the grocery store, and gave it a quick scan, but I didn't see anything that caught my eye in the way of "We are so sorry that we were so desperate for page count and story space that we insulted you all".

    oh well.....

    I looked through the January issue at the store yesterday. All the Letters to the Editor were concerning the November articles. Didn't this come out in December? If so, we should look in the February issue.

    I think in Cosmo 2 yrs ago there was a somewhat positive article about stripping titled "Why I strip" it interviewed 3 different girls, one from PEC, one from Tootsie's MIA, and I can't remember the third- just the girls giving different opinions on why they do it. I couldn't read the glamour article as well, made me want to puke.

    I remember that Cosmo article! At least they had the sense to seek out 3 different opinions. I couldn't finish the Glamour article, I launched it across the room halfway through.

    Hi.
    My name is WhiteChocolate.Rainbow. Really.
    I don't strip now, but I did.
    Lord knows, there are so many well-paying, rewarding careers out there, especially for women. &, of course, none of them are ever degrading, the bosses are wonderful.
    However, I have a self-loading ATM in my bedroom, so I don't really need to work.
    Excuse me now, a butterfly net is comin' my way...

Her father's reaction (when he was told about the stripping) was something along the lines of "wtfomg!!!!one!!!". He was calmer with the fact that his daughter had been a bulimic for over three years than with the idea of his daughter being a stripper (or at least it came off that way to me).

    I bet that'll influence a lot of people's perception of the stripping industry. Well, the people that watched it anyway.

    Did anyone else happen to see that episode...?

    -slowly trails off topic- Sorry.
    That's nothing compared to the meth addicted, alcoholic, homeless stripper they featured just a few weeks ago. She even had the whole hour on herself. She was really, really sad.

    If any of you remember, it was the blonde haired (but I think she was Hispanic?) girl who ran around naked everywhere, screamed & threw things at the at the camera crew and got beat up by her sister ha ha

    She ended up getting kicked out of rehab for disruptive behavior so her parents had her thrown in jail for 2 years. She went back to her old ways when she got out of jail.

    ^^I love intervention. Another stripper one was a girl who was a binge eater and would strip then on the way home buy food to barf on the side of the road. It was really sad. Even more sad is that this girl actually did well; she stated how much she made that night and it was ~$600 dollars! All of it went to food to later come back up.

    So I was reading this article while getting my hair done yesterday. I think the girl it was about just couldn't handle stripping itself despite the "$500-$1000" she made a night. She even did the old style dancing where she actually danced on tables. I wish I was old enough to strip back then - she was lucky imo. I think it focused on how girls spend all their freakin money and 'somehow' end up broke and 'having' to strip. Yea that is right no one should have to be a stripper; no one should have to do anything they don't like to. For alot of people at alot of different jobs do it anyways.

    btw, I havent read many of the past posts - pretty much everything on this page.

    Wow, I know I'm a little late to the tea party but I think this thread needs a shot of new perspective.

    Glamour is a magazine that is for women. With all of the "too many girls working tonight" rants and posts I'm surprized that no one has seen this as a boon. Let women think that stripping is taboo, let mothers tell their daughters that "all strippers are druggies etc" and that "dancing is demeaning". The more women that are scared away by articles like these the more money there will be to go around. WE know the truth, who cares if people adopt misconceptions? Especially when it could result in better nights for all.

    I read this article and found it beyond offensive,but being a magazine addict I also read an article with a positive view of stripping in British Elle around the same time.The Article probably wasnt published in the U.S because of the religious fundamentalists that make up so much of our population.(the girl who wrote the article was from Minnesota and was rescued from the monotany of the low paying end of the corporate world by stripping,the article isn't all positive and realistically portrays alot of the industries pluses and minuses.Sorry to post so late a reaction but I did just find and reread the Glamour article. BLEECH.
    I do also like having intact a little bit of societal disdain towards this line of work,it helps keep out little girls lacking in backbone.
