» Songs to Strip To.
A little project done by Libby that I know some of you would appreciate. It’s new, but it may be worthwhile to see where it goes, so give a follow.

» Jenna Stripped: Stripping is Easy?
I am so thankful that I didn’t lose myself to this industry. If I had to tell a beginner one thing, it would be to leave your true self outside the door when you walk in and leave your alter ego at the door when you leave. Never let the two mix. That’s when the problems begin.
I haven’t felt this way because I chose the opposite path, but that doesn’t make this any less relevant. Worth the read, especially for new dancers (which is why I’m tossing this in the ‘tips’ section).

» Sapphic Stripper's FAKE FRENCH
Being proficient in speaking English kicks my ass sometimes.
You don’t want to sound too smart; it’s off-putting to most clients who just want a fembot to simulate some lunch-hour girl-on-topping. They don’t want to hear your life story or thoughts on dark matter…
In the words of Le Tigre, “My Fake French is Hot.”

» Signal Boost: Speaking of Gilgo...
If you live around the Long Island Sound area, please be careful. He targets women (read: prostitutes, thus far) specifically and is very, very dangerous.This is the profile of a serial killer who has not been caught…
See, we joke, but it’s not funny. How else do you live with the irrational fear? Apart from watching Dexter re-runs and telling yourself that everyone murderer has a heart of gold—like on tv.

» StripperArmy: Stripper Wages
A short, very interesting read from AO. A really backhanded way of getting around the possibility of on the book benefits, for those girls interested in the ‘legalitease’ of stripping.

» Strippr: Stripper Bingo!
While looking for Feminist’s Bingo card to reference, I found this gem!
There are things such as: girl-on-girl show, ankles behind the head, stockings, mouths lyrics to the song, 180 degree or more pole spin…
The winner’s buddies are supposed to buy him a private dance (or beer).
I find it hilarious. I’d love to see someone play at my club!
Hint: Hit refresh to get a new set of bingo tiles to play (akin to getting different numbers on different bingo cards).

For Mooky: Kore’s Descent.
Kore settles her stockings just below a smooth stripe of thigh skin, paler than the lace bordering it. She’s not thinking in terms of black and taupe, of diamond and pearl; she’s preoccupied by peacock feathered queens and show tunes and dock sunsets—how their thigh highs were torn off outside dark bars by men with darker intents.
She puts her bra on, lifts each breast to nestle it into its cup, smooths the lace of the balconet, but the gesture doesn’t hold her: Kore is moving back in time. Girls gone street-pro on her mind, women lacking opportunities and support because they lacked the desire to walk down an aisle. And these women’s lovers who trimmed up, bulked out, changed faces and names to pass as male for factory jobs… or any job. Kore finds them in the brush strokes of her blush.
Her heels are called stilettos; she straps them on, sharp and to the point, named for daggers. Daggers like the words and scars of the riots at Stonewall. Words like ‘survival’ and ‘sacrifice’ but also ‘reverence’ and ‘relish.’ Kore steps on stage and sways to her songs, spins out her homage to her ancestors. She strips herself bare, baring her reasons.
This is an entry for the Mookychick blogging competition, FEMINIST FLASH FICTION 2011. Enter now.

» Rules for Dating (this) Dancer.
I swear if I ever have to go through the dating process again (and I hope I don’t), I’m handing this out to all prospective dates. It’s my version, so surely it doesn’t represent all (or even most) dancers, of course.
Not 100% personally relevant, but super relevant in general. Awesome read, as usual, from Piper. Check it out.
