I Win. :D
Pause. Yes, I’m bragging. Since we don’t all work at the same clubs, I get to do a little virtual happy dance and tell you about it and you can’t be (that) mad. Deal?
I feel like a motherfucking SuperStripper tonight. I need a cape. I suppose a towel will do…ahem. Also, pardon the baby-stripper squeal I’m about to let out. I am having a baby-stripper kind of day.

Having kind of a minor breakdown today.
I need to go to work, but don’t have time to dye my hair or get it cut and my chest still looks like shit. That red bump looking thing I was talking about? Still there. Three weeks, now. I have a bit of acne on my chest; sexy, right?
Fucked up my hands pretty good pulling weeds in the yard today. Places where the skin came off and deep blisters all...

This is a bad, bad, bad fucking idea. Strippers, if you give a shit about your personal safety, don’t do this. Just, don’t. No, they won’t make you go back there and blow the customer, but you could get busted for solicitation, fired, or assaulted by a drunk, horny, angry, ripped-off guy.
If you must do something bitchy to...

Here’s what you do~ TAKE what you need. Don’t say ANYTHING ABOUT YOUR INCOME and apply for financial aid. That’s at least a good $16,354 bucks ~ split up betwen two semesters. That’ s what I have been getting. I just finished 12 units this past Spring 2011 AND Summer 2011….
I actually don’t qualify for grants of any kind, or subsidized...

If I choose to make porn (which I am choosing to do, incidentally), or if I choose to be an escort (which I did, once upon a time), I am not ‘selling myself’. I am not for sale. My body, my mind, my personality… these things are not for sale. What is for sale, is the option to look at my body, or interact with it. If I fuck somebody, or somebody takes a naked picture of me,...
School. Boo.
I’ve got to register for my classes again this week. Last semester, I managed to take one class, and I did well in it. I dropped the other, because I just didn’t feel like I could devote enough time to two of them and I was completely frustrated with my classmates.
I hate school. Not because I hate the material, the work, or the learning; I love those parts. I hate my classmates. I...
Welcome to 2-for-1s night!
My last four dances of the night were with a tweaker wearing a Pink Floyd shirt, who smelled like fruit roll-ups, sweated so much that I didn’t want to touch him (rare, for me), grunted loudly the entire four songs despite being surrounded by four other pairs whilest sticking his extremely long tongue out over and over, and talked about how he’d come home to find his wife sneaking...

Shift 07-23/24-2011
As I was getting ready for work, I couldn’t shave over the absolutely awful razor burn I’ve got going on my inner/upper thighs. They’re hairy. I’m sure that’s hot to someone, but it didn’t make me feel all that sexy. I’ve also got this red thing on my right collarbone that appears to be a huge fucking zit, but isn’t. It’s been there over a...

thestoryofstory:
i’ve known for awhile that my stripping would affect my dating life. my ex-boyfriend’s words spoken long before i started dancing are seared into my memory, “if i knew you ever had stripped, i would never date you.” when i started stripping i thought long, hard thoughts about who would never love me if they knew.
Because we’re easy, or we’ll do anything for money,...
Anonymous Disabled.
Sorry, but I’m turning off the anonymous comments for awhile…maybe a week? I’ve gotten (and deleted) at least four copies of a spam message about seeing someone naked. The exact same, obviously bot-posted message.
And, in case it’s unclear: No, I don’t particularly want/need to see you naked. I see beautiful naked women frequently. And as far as naked men goes,...
So a Stripper Walks Into a Bar...
…to respond to an ad wanting to hire servers and acquire a job interview.
I filled out the application. I was honest about stripping, and honest about my intentions: I’m not looking to quit dancing altogether. I just want to mostly do something else and not have to strip very often. It’s getting taxing, mentally and physically.
Why? Management’s being a pain in the ass,...
The Heat Index is 105-115(F). Again.
I’m sticky. And hot. And the heat zaps energy out of me within just a few hours; I need a nap and I’ve only been up about four, four and a half hours or so. It’s harder for me to eat when it’s thisfuckinghot, so I’m sort of feeling weak from too few calories lately.
I don’t wanna go to work. By the time I shower and shave and put makeup on, I’ll just be a...
Update:
The Craigslist ad was removed when I checked today. So thank you to those that either found and flagged it (but remember that where I live isn’t public information!), or those that expressed concern.
They sent me an email this time. It pretty much just contained a link back to the help pages, and some automated gobledegook.
Fuck You, Craigslist.
On July 1st, I posted about a Craigslist ad I found in the Missed Connections of Craigslist that was about me. I flagged it and reported it to Craigslist, asking that it be removed promptly. Those were the steps outlined on the website, and I was rather polite and straightforward with my extremely simple request.
I forgot about it altogether. I was digging around on Craigslist again today, and...

Participating in a Slutwalk
I’m participating in a Slutwalk soon. For those of you who haven’t seen this all over the internet (or live under rocks), this is a pretty good video and speech about what Slutwalks mean, and why they’re happening. I actually came across the video/speech via my local Slutwalk’s event page.
I want to participate, and I will participate, and I feel like participation is...
When I Said I Was Something of a Closet Hippie, I...
I spent the weekend at a music festival (full of hippies, yes), playing and singing and laughing and letting loose. It’s the one weekend a year that I actually just…let loose and play. It’s a pretty healing experience, and one that I look forward to every year.
Friday, we had some pretty torential storms. The boyfriend and I survived, tent intact and gear only slightly wet. The...
ashleyintransit replied to your post: Why is it that you prefer working in a fully nude club, instead of topless only?
are fully nude clubs in your state allowed to serve alcohol? in my state, they aren’t and i always thought that was what would push me in the direction of fully nude over topless.
Fully nude clubs in my state are not allowed to serve alcohol. Most of the clubs are BYOB for...

Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster: A Crisis...
Some of you may know what the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is, and some may not. Just so you’re caught up, here’s the run down.
A post was made with a picture of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM) pouring beer on a stripper. I found it offensive, and sent a letter to the site creator. They have an extensive hate-mail section, and I’m sure I’ll wind up in it.

Anonymous asked: You said in your last post, there are five clubs in your city. Why did you pick the one you work at? What was better in your club? What was worse in the others? What was the guiding criteria?
Anonymous asked: It makes me nuts that stripper-hate exists. Since I've started reading your blog and others that are similar, I've had nothing but extremely positive changes in my views on women's issues, my own self-esteem and sexuality, et cetera. I wish other people could drop their judgment for a moment and be enlightened! <3, C.
[Tip karma, n. The idea that tipping generously will result in more generous tips later, when those in the service industry (servers, strippers, bartenders, and anyone else who makes a substantial portion of their incomes from tips) tip others in the service industry.]
Being a Patron at the Club
Last night, I went to my club as a patron, with a friend. The friend had never been, and suggested she might be willing to go. I was all over the idea in an instant. Shaved my armpits, applied some makeup, grabbed some Red Stripe and off we went. Of course, we could have gone to another club—there are five in my city—but it was good that we wound up in my home club.
We got there, and...
Wiped out, even after my usual nine hours of sleep. Stressed out. My breasts are even more sore and huge (I’m usually a pretty even B cup, and I’ve got veeerrryyy large Cs at the moment, or maybe nearly Ds); impending period, I hope, or that the side effects of Plan B will wear off quickly after fucking over my hormones. Emotionally fucked a little from a handful of things. Feeling...
You know what I hate? When my boobs are absolutely swollen as all hell and sore, and then I have to go to work. I have to shove them in people’s faces and people touch them and they hurt. It’s a most uncomfortable feeling…
I’m working tomorrow night (or tonight, depending on which side of the sleep thing you’re on—Saturday night, nonetheless). With sore and...
Full-Time Stripper
I very much work part-time: I work one eight-hour shift, and one nine-hour shift every week, with about two hours of prep work and about two total hours of drive time. That’s 21 hours/week. Occasionally, I work an extra eight- or nine-hour night, bringing a long-week total to roughly thirty hours.
But I feel like I work all the time. I feel like I work 70 hours/week. And I’ve never...
agapeton-deactivated20120509 asked: Hi, this is Pixie (pixiedancer) writing this from my main personal blog. I just wanted to thank you for writing "This is Bullshit." I just started stripping and am dealing with this prejudice. I just wrote about it yesterday. Seeing others say they enjoy their job and don't feel exploited, like me, makes me feel better about defending my job.
worldokarma asked: Statement really, but I just wanted to say that I absolutely love your blog. It is very well written and an excellent look into the world that we as exotic dancers live in. I especially like your blog post that provides information to those thinking about dancing. Very informative.

This is Bullshit.
*I started writing this quite a while ago, but it got lost in “drafts.” I figured today might be a good day to rescue some drafts and elaborate.

I constantly see bullshit regarding my job (stripping) pop up in my dashboard. And I’m fucking sick of it. I don’t know why I do this to myself, continuing to track the “feminism” tag. I wind up reading a hell of...

Yeah, so, if you refer to sex work as “degrading” in the same post as trying to assure me that you respect sex workers and their rights, I will probably unfollow you.
Just saying.

July 4th and Holiday Nonsense.
Worked the fourth, of course. I work almost every holiday, save for the occasional Christmas-required-by-the-family-participation-shit. I don’t generally mind working them, because they tend to be fairly profitable (well, most).
Last night was a disaster. I showed up an hour after opening, and there were only two other girls working—rare, even for a Monday, and far too few to be...

Working Off Those (Metaphorical) Doughnuts...
I’m not actually much of a doughnut-eater. But DailyMile keeps my run info and talks dirty to me about how much healthier I am from running. For example:
This week (so far) I have run 8.25 miles, burned 1556 calories, saved 0.43 gallons of gas, could have powered 24.56 televisions, and have burned off 8.41 metaphorical doughnuts.
It’s a motivator, for sure.

Masturbation Fail.
Man. I get home, I want to watch a little porn, get off, and sleep like I just had the most amazing orgasm ever.
Except I can’t stop thinking about whether or not the porn was produced ethically.

Look what a friend of mine found! A Craigslist “Missed Connections” ad, about me!
Anyone know where the stripper named Piper out at [my club] went? I know shes plays in and out of the club—like most of the girls there—and I was trying to find a good, solid, replacement fuck buddy for the stripper that I used to spoil out there. Hit me if you know her.
