More women needing cash go from jobless to topless

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.

Well, there’re always the Arabs.

On another note, is there really anything wrong working as a bartender in a non strip joint.

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! ;)

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.

And when the men run out of cash, then what?

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.
