Maggie is a straight-laced, straight-A student studying to become an international affairs lawyer, who will graduate debt-free all thanks to the unusual way she pays her tuition.
Maggie, 23, a double-major in Spanish and political science, is a student by day and a stripper by night. Every other weekend, Maggie, who asked that her last name not be used, takes the three-hour ride from her college in Maryland to Manhattan, where she performs at a dance club called Scores.
I have a class that ends at 5:30, hop on a bus at 6:00, and be at work by 8:30, Maggie said.
Maggie is part of a new generation of women putting themselves through college by taking their clothes off, and they are unapologetic about it.
This takes a lot of brains, Maggie said. A girl can be really pretty and not make any money in this field, or she cannot be pretty and make a lot of money because so much of it is about interpersonal skills.
Maggie is one of 24 women at Scores who are putting themselves through school and stripping to make as much money as possible before they get their diplomas. A fellow dancer, who asked to be called "Jade," is also a college student in New York, studying for five finals, who strips to pay for school.
When I grow up, Im hoping to become a forensic psychologist for the judicial system, she said.

She flies. She can afford it on the kind of money she makes.
Accurate but irrelevant. Awful originally meant “full of awe,” logically enough.
Meanings change over time, just like pronunciations and spellings.
>> by taking their clothes off, and they are unapologetic about it
Generation Unapologetic.
The summer of 1978 I was taking chemistry and microbiology at Memphis State University. I had two really good looking girls in my micro class that were paying their way through college stripping in a Memphis night club. Even back then they made as much as $300 a night. They said they did it at night, didn’t date or socialize with the customers and were going to stop when they got into their professional schools. I knew a classmate that worked his way through pharmacy school as a stripper.
“Good times”
Sounds like lucrative times.
>>>IOW, if a word is misspelled long enough, the misspelling becomes correct.<<<
Kind of like the dummicrats belief that if you tell a lie enough, it becomes the truth.
Right, except the spelling part is true.
I don’t think so. That would mean “tight and narrow.”
I have always said “straight and narrow.”
There was a burlesque house in Baltimore called the Troc. The owner put up slogans like:
Beth Lehem
All wise men come to see her.
I wish I could remember the others I heard years ago.
They are wrong. Those dictionaries simply cave in to the morons after a couple of decades. They are useless.
“Strait” means tight. It is nonsensical to say “straight-laced.” Laces aren’t straight! They go back and forth!
I learned a new black word recently; succame. The past tense of succumb!
He eventually succame to the pressure to use drugs.
Yeah, I’m confused as well. How does straight lacing your boots help one pay for college?
If’n I ever get my GED, I might find out one day...
Strait meaning rigorous. And it is correct. Straight is incorrect.
The meaning of straight hasn't changed with the times. Straight-laced had no meaning when strait-laced was current, and has no meaning now.
Straight-laced has, according to the dictionary, is now the preferred spelling. I agree it makes no sense from an etymological POV, but then neither do the meanings and/or spellings of a tremendous number of English words.
So your disagreement is not with me, it’s with the dictionary.
;-)
Me, I'm more a fan of pall dancing.
Give it time; soon she’ll be less interested in lawyering since the money as a whore will be too much of a lure. It happens all the time. Big money as a whore, lives an honest life for a while, but prefers to get the easy money of being a whore instead of honest work, that doesn’t pay as much.
Until they end up growing too old and unattractive to attract customers.
These women don’t’ have a long time on the pole and they’ll be constantly competing against younger and younger women.
Realistically, these women are going to live life dried up, a destroyed rep, no chance with a decent man who is sane, and this will haunt them for the rest of their lives.
Anyone who will think of hiring them will end up looking into their past and will find out about this.
