    Default portland girls... article for ww

    The other day I sat down for an off-record discussion with a freelance reporter who is in the initial stages of researching an article about the Portland sex industry. This topic has been approved by her Willamette Week editor. Right now she is very open to finding out the angle of her story and meeting with different sources. She still hasn't decided if she's focusing exclusively on dancing or on other aspects of the sex industry.

    She got in contact with me because she's the neighbor of a close friend of mine. When I met with her she was very polite and interested in my viewpoint. She wants to hear from other voices so I told her I'd see if any of the other intelligent strippers I know in Portland would be interested in talking with her. Please pm me if you want her contact information -- she can also send you other articles that she's written and had printed in WW before.

    ww would be a good one to talk to...i've seen other articles they've done on this subject and they don't seem to take the "all strippers are dumb drug addicts who screw everyone" angle.

    You know, so much has been written about the strip clubs here I kind of hope she focuses on the other venues/aspects of the sex biz here -- that's what I'd like to read about, at least.'


    edit: BTW, who's writing about this subject for Willy Week if it's not Mary Christmas? She's been their resident stripper writer for the past year.

    Hey Susan,

    I wouldn't mind talking to her. I'm in the Portland area. I didn't dance in Portland, and I don't dance anymore (I own The Bombshell Ballroom pole dance studio) I believe you know my lovely partner up there^^^. I danced in Detroit for over 6 years though. Some girls on here know me from back then Anyhow, dancing was one of the most positive experiences in my life to date, and has led me to be a (so far) sucessful business woman I definitely don't mind sharing my experiences.

    Let me know!

    P.s. We came to D2 to visit you the other weekend, but you were'nt there!

    You have echoed my own thoughts. I interviewed for Mary last year.


    Promote yourself and earn more money! This is a business that is owned by strippers for strippers. Let's make that money!

    It came out pretty well... I think that she focused on the freedom that stripping has and the very different motivations for why women dance without being entirely sensationalistic... though I didn't know Sassy's was such a hot bed of lesbian sex!

    I just read it and left a positive comment on the website. The podcast interviews were also interesting. I was kinda bummed that I didn't get to be interviewed--Ms. Moore had stopped by my club and spoken to my boss, who suggested she talk to me. Ah well.

    Awesome article! I couldn't help putting my two cents in comment form... twice

    I think the WWeek is rad for this article. No one on the outside, likes to see the industry from any sort of positive angle. In Detroits' similar papers (Real Detroit, or Metro Times) They would never put out an article like this. Unfortunatly Detroit has no love for it's LARGE strip club industry... I think D town is neck to neck with Portland on clubs per capita...
