exotic dancer
I am just not sure if that is the appropriate descriptor. I just don't think that term is inclusive enough. Sex industry worker is a quite modern term and seems to leave open all the possibilities. Of course, those of us who still look to the nineteenth century for reading material might favor harlot over the more common and cruder term whore or its variant 'ho. Whatever, exotic dancer seems to make her more than she is, and as this story proves she ain't much.
