As a bartender and trainer at a national restaurant chain, Rebecca Brown earned a couple thousand dollars in a really good week. Now, as a dancer at Chicago's Pink Monkey gentleman's club, she makes almost that much in one good night. The tough job market is prompting a growing number of women across the country to dance in strip clubs, appear in adult movies or pose for magazines like Hustler. Employers across the adult entertainment industry say they're seeing an influx of applications from women who, like Brown, are attracted by the promise of flexible schedules and fast cash. Many have college degrees and held white-collar jobs until the economy soured.

Obama’s fault!
$100,000 AS A BARTENDER/TRAINER?
Desperate chicks are hot.
And are now a target for the democrat 90% tax rate!!!!
However if the economy gets worse the strip club clientele will stop bringing in stacks of bills but instead scrounge under their seats and in their consoles for loose change and lint.
Rules violation!
No Way!
>Rules violation!
See post 2.
“Stone, who has a bachelor’s degree in graphic design, took up dancing four years ago to help pay her student loans. She plans to go to graduate school this year to pursue a master’s in education.”
So she goes from one low pay job to another. She’s a career stripper, at least until gravity sets in.

I been lookin' for a way to make a little extra jingle.
That’s it, you get reported to the thread police.
And when the men run out of cash, then what?
Take your daughter to work day is gonna be a hoot.
Well.... like they say, there’s a silver lining in every cloud! :-)
Some potato, noodles, onion, carrots, celery, basil, chives and a little pinch of garlic and VIOLA!!!!!! SOUP!!!
Okay, which one peed in the jacuzzi?
I knew that given enough time, nature would right itself.
Will work for food?
Well, there’re always the Arabs.
On another note, is there really anything wrong working as a bartender in a non strip joint.
Mother's Hours?
Where is the money coming from? I would think spending for luxuries like T&A fantasies would go down hard in a recession this deep. Maybe it is like cigarettes and booze. People quit eating in bad times and smoke and drink more to just forget how bad life is. Hmmm.... I just would have thought that T&A joints would have been hit as hard as any business in the recession. Maybe this is the new stock market bubble — strip club IPOs. lol
Well, it happened during the Great Depression with the movie industry, and the same thing is happening now, only we’ve got more forms of entertainment. Maybe it’s because people want some sort of a break from the real world even more when the real world looks grim, but the entertainment industry in general has always been pretty solid in times of economic depression.
“I would think spending for luxuries like T&A fantasies would go down hard in a recession this deep.”
It’s been my experience that the LAST thing people give up in a recession are booze, cigs, illegal drugs, porn and gambling.
Buy while there’s still time! ;)

That is a good point. Somebody always has some extra money, I guess...
The Vice Fund. Now THAT is funny! I guess there is a nugget of truth to that. Recession proof industries, indeed. lol
Thanks for the laugh.
Helen and many others like her are also able to prosper in this financial crisis.
They actually make money by being paid to put their clothes back on. The quicker the better.
There's plenty of money that men can make in the porn industry, just not the same porn industry that immediately comes to mind. A different porn industry, if you know what I mean, though lucrative just the same.
And this industry is always looking for new talent.
In the circus, maybe...
It’s a REAL fund. It makes me money. Honest. :)
I have no problem with this...seriously...as long as they are beautiful!
These girls make more money than I do at I “real” job so who is the idiot? Hey, I was in shape, and some one offered me to shake it front of a bunch of horny girls—I’d be there...I even have the perfect name—Polish Boy! Because I’m polish and polish boy is a large susage—well you guys get the picture...
Honey? It’s already been done to death...

Dang! I didn’t even realize all the freudian slips I was loading that phrase with. Amazing, the subconscious mind. I’m pretty sure in hindsight and with you catching it, my word choice was no coincidence. Good catch!
