Lap dances for charity - Strip club dancers' proceeds go to a good cause

Twenty women took off their clothes on Wednesday to make the world a better place.

And one of them did an X-rated dance in stiletto heels with a giant stuffed dog, because it was the right thing to do for the children of San Francisco.

"I'm a good person, even though I don't wear very much to work,'' said Debbie Licious, the woman who danced with the dog. "I'm a dancer. I don't need to wear a business suit to do the right thing.''

Debbie Licious may not be her real name, she said, but the $10 bills that customers kept poking into her various garment straps were very much genuine. She and her caring colleagues at the Gold Club on Howard Street were turning over the proceeds of their lap dances to benefit the San Francisco Fire Department's annual charity toy drive.

The strip club manager said the dancers' combined efforts were expected to total $15,000. Most of it was coming from tens and twenties slipped into various crevices. On stage, the dancers gyrated around a tall metal pole that may have looked like a fire pole but was being used in ways that firefighters do not use poles.

"That seems like very good exercise,'' said firefighter Bob Lopez, while Collette the dancer was ripping off her Santa suit, wrapping her legs around the pole and wiggling like a Tickle Me Elmo after being tickled. No fires were extinguished by her efforts but some may have been set.

"That pole is too thin to be a fire pole,'' Lopez said, studying the situation very carefully. "But it's a good pole for other purposes.''

San Francisco values?

Most of the 'regulars' at these strip clubs are truly pathetic. They spend the rent money trying to be a big wheel. Paying a dancer to pay attention to you is weak.
Before all you people who claim moderation, remember I am discussing the regulars, not the goof-balls who end up there for the rare bachelor party.

You aren`t speaking from experience are you?

Probably. Though I would be stretching it to say I was a regular. I was a pretty dumb person through most of my 20's but I made it out of them alive. A lot of money wasted superfluously.

Gee, when I was in my 20`s, I knew everything!
