The economy's gone bust, and so have they.
Scores of professional New York women stripped of their six-figure jobs are now working as "gentlemen's club entertainers" at upscale Manhattan jiggle joints. Former Wall Streeters, fashion executives and real-estate agents are pole dancing and strip ping for as much as $1,500 a night -- but also because they like the flexible hours.
Randi Newton, 28, who lives in Midtown, was a financial analyst at Morgan Stanley before the crash but was fired.
"A few nights after I got laid off, I went with friends to a strip club to get drunk and forget my unemployment troubles," Newton said. "The manager offered me a job as a dancer. I thought it was different. And fun."
"It was very odd seeing a strip club being better run than a major brokerage firm, not to mention I've never had problems with sexual harassment at Rick's," she said.

I would bet that joe six-pack is treating her better.
Sorry! (was it mocha or a cappuchino?) ;)
Would Charlie Harper do her?
Plain old Folgers...I’m at the office.
They would never make it past the moderator.
What a shame!!!
I find it interesting that she gets less sexual harassment in a strip club than at Morgan Stanley.
That’s what SHE says...doesn’t make it true. Most white collar firms have strict harrassment policies in place.
Of course if she acts like a whore on her new job, she may have on her last one as well...advertising yourself does draw a response, welcomed or not.
At the strip club, the guys are paying to look at her. They aren’t trying to hide it.
Just before I graduated college a friend asked me to take a simple survey that his wife was doing for some psychology project. I was shown two pictures of a girl, one was with her in jeans and baggy sweat shirt, the other in a short, revealing dress (she wasn’t my type, much too skinny) but the question was this: Was she “asking for it” by dressing revealingly? I answered no, but I also wrote her a note telling her that dressing revealingly WOULD attract more attention, good and bad, and that anyone who dresses that way should be prepared for the negative attention and only a fool would believe otherwise. Believe it or not, actions do have consequences.
