Bad Economy Hurting Strippers Too

Strip Club Stripper  Money is tight which means men can't afford to spend it at strip clubs. But some owners say there is a bright side to the gloomy economy -- it's bringing out more women willing to give pole dancing a try.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - It seems the lousy economy is keeping guys
away from strip clubs.
In Tampa - a city known for its adult entertainment businesses -
attendance has dropped at usually thriving strip clubs. Joe Redner,
the owner of the well-known Mons Venus club, says his business is
down 25 percent.
Angelina Spencer is national executive director of the
Association of Club Executives, a group that represents adult
entertainment clubs. She says she fields calls every day from strip
club owners around the country feeling the pinch of a bad economy.
Spencer says entertainment is a luxury item and "one of the
first things people give up."
But Redner says the economy is having another effect on the
business - it's bringing out more women willing to give pole
dancing a try.

April! You didn’t show up!!! Now who’s the smack-talker that’s hiding behind a computer?

Not to mention April might call me a nasty ho. I really hope she comes and meets me tonight, I order mixed drinks by the pitcher when I’m at trivia. smile

Happy Birthday KxVx!
Heck, if I had the body some of those gals have, I’d probably be out there making it work for me too. I do feel like women are being exploited in that business, but it’s their choice to be there, and they are NOT nasty hoes for doing so. They make a lot more money than I ever could.

Oh, no. I’m too old for birthday parties, BamaBob, but if you want to hire a few MALE strippers, I’m down.

Oh and by the way, I’ll be doing trivia at Picklefish in West Mobile this evening. See ya there!

KxVx - Plan on having any dancers at the birthday party? lol

Happy Birthday! KxVx, today is also my oldest grandson’s birthday. He is 22.

Besides, today’s my birthday, and there’s going to be so many candles on my cake, I don’t think anyone would mistake me for a child. wink

Ok. Wanna meet up? I’ll say that same sentence and probably more to your face.

Kxvx, you are such an ignorant idiot. I have an opinion just like everyone else. It’s easy for you to say stupid things on a computer but you are probably not one who will do in someones face. Get a life and stop acting like a child. Oh you might just be one.
