Portrait: Holly: The Benefactor.
Part of breaking down stereotypes, throughout the years, is to humanize. In my “Portrait of a Girl” series, I’ll share with you some of my coworkers’ stories. Next is ‘Holly,’ a girl I’ve worked with as long as I’ve been at the House.
Holly is a really, really chatty girl, so much so that she’ll tell you things five or six times. Slender, boobs done up, dark tightly curly hair, small light eyes that tend to wander, and a severe love of the Yankees.
She reminds me a little of a girl I used to work with in Florida; those vibrant, bubbly types that, even when frustrated, sound excited about it. Which is curious, really, considering all she’s been through.

Portrait: Laurel: The Backbone.
Part of breaking down stereotypes, throughout the years, is to humanize. In my “Portrait of a Girl” series, I’ll share with you some of my coworkers’ stories. Now on to ‘Laurel,’ a day girl.
I’d met Laurel a number of times: she’s incredibly short, even in heels, so she definitely sticks in your mind. She has long, fine, silky dirty blonde hair and a round face that, despite being sweetly structured, still seems tough.
She’s one of the girls I have a 2-hour overlay with when I work 6-2s, when the night girls don’t get on until 8pm. One night I went into the back to get ready and I hear Laurel mouthing off loudly into her phone in the locker room, clearly livid.

Portrait: Daisy: The Sweetheart.
Part of breaking down stereotypes, throughout the years, is to humanize. In my “Portrait of a Girl” series, I’ll share with you some of my coworkers’ stories. I want to start with ‘Daisy,’ whom I met last Monday.
Daisy sat alone at the bar when I came in that night. She had a round face, a girl-next-door-feel, the kind of girl you could see playing sports, feeling right at home around guys, but with definite femininity. Long blonde hair framed her cute features.
When she danced, she had an endearing new-ness about her, within an experienced-looking costume. It turns out she’d danced before at the House but had taken a hiatus. Only 20 years old, she was back to help pay for school loans, like a lot of us.
