    Default I am a human being...this is a mini rant

    Ok, I understand that a major part of the feature thing is interacting with fans, and most of the time I love it. Yeah, there are occasional weirdos that know more about me than I do, but most people aren't that bad. For some reason though, a guy last night really bothered me. He forgot that I'm an actual person, and he literally called me his 'little American doll'.

    It was kinda slow at the beginning of the night, and a custy wanted to do a couple of Polaroids. I was more than happy to do them, and then I went on with my night. After my second show the same guy wanted to take more Polaroids, but he wanted to do poses like we were at the PROM. Fine, whatever dude, I'll humor you a little bit more. I did my third show, and when I came downstairs the same guy wanted to do more pictures. By this time we were on his 12th Polaroid, but as I went to make my little cheesy grin, this guy picks me up from behind and wants to do a shot holding me up as his 'little American doll'. Dammit, I am a friggin' human. Yeah, I dress up and run around, but I am not a Barbie!

    I made him put me down, and told him that I needed to be standing on my own two feet. He got offended that I wouldn't let him hold me up in the air, and after he got that pic he left. I'm all for having fun with guys, and taking all kinds of pics/signing things, but for me he went too far. I wasn't trying to be a bitch to this dude, but seriously, is it asking that much to be treated like a living, breathing person??

    Thats insane! Where was security when he did this? Why do people seem to think that if you are in the public eye at ALL...especially if you take your clothes off, that it is perfectly ok and acceptable to manhandle you?? At least thats ALL he tried to do and you are ok...but seriously..thats NOT cool.
    People always ask me, did I ever learn anything when I was a stripper? Yeah, I did. One man plus two beers equals 20 dollars.

    i haven't had that happen, in particular (obviously) but i have had to deal with men treating me like an object... or worse. we all have to deal with it, and it sucks. i understand that, in a way, we are selling ourselves as a product. but, it pisses me off when i start to feel like a car on a carlot. men say things as if we can't fucking -hear- them. if i'm sitting near stage with a custy and he talks loudly about the girl on stage, picking her apart, i tell him to have some fucking tact and i walk away. i also think a lot of them feel like they "deserve" to be able to be mean or disrespectfull to us because they're paying for the fantacy of being in control. that may be true, but if your fantacy is to put down women you couldn't even talk to in real life because of your jerkness... you have some fucking problems.

    i hate to steal your thread for my own rants.. but i have a little more on the subject...

    people complain that stripping degrades women and objectifies them. it's my opinion that a large part of that is due to the strippers that ALLOW men to behave this way inside of the club. it's the same thing i think when people bitch about how cutys come in and sit and don't spend any money. it's in large part due to the stupid girls who'll sit with them for hours on end and let them try to "pick them up" without making 1 damned dollar. if more clubs started kicking out loafers and more girls started treating this like a PROFESSION, we'd have a lot less problems.

    It's totally ok, I feel where you are coming from. Weird thing for me is, most of the time the dudes that are at my meet and greet are there to see me, because they saw me in a mag, DVD, wherever else. They come in thinking they 'know' me and that brings the weirdness to a totally different level. I'm kinda used to most of it, but for some reason I just wanted to backhand this dude.

    What kind of shoes were you wearing? I woulda kicked that asswipe in the nuts. I don't want anyone picking me up unless it's my boyfriend or I'm getting a piggy-back ride.

    Aw, Ginger, that sucks! I don't know what these guys are thinking sometimes.

    I've gotten the "you're just like real live sex doll" creeptastic line before too. I think I wanna get a real sex doll to carry around and hit these tools over the head with. And then maybe simulate sex acts with for pay. But not really, cause that's probably illegal. But definitely hitting.

    Guys like this ruin everything for the rest of us. As you know, Ginger, there are plenty of guys like that at that particular club, too. I hang out there sometimes and feel sorry for the dancers who have to deal with it.




    P.S. Ginger, I was one of the FOUR guys at the club on Friday that week. The snow kept just about everybody home. I just want to say that your show was great, and I wish the other dancers hadn't busted my wallet before I ever saw you! Poor planning on my part.

    I don't understand the whole Polaroid thing... not something I'd be comfortable with doing at all. I've worked at alot of different clubs, but none that have done that....

    It's typical for a feature....not something that house girls do(or are even allowed to do in most clubs)

    ^^Yeah, it's a feature thing. I have to do Polaroids in between shows for fans. Most of the time it doesn't bother me though.

    But I thought they had to pay for each of the pix at $20 to $50 bucks each. If you're not charging now, you ought to be. And maybe after he put you down, you could've said, "I generally charge $1000 to be picked up like that, so pay up, deadbeat."

    Oh, no, I totally charge for Polaroids. I do like the snappy comeback though!
