Stripped Bare- Surviving the Industry: The Good, Bad and Downright Ugly Truth

  Exotic dancers have been fighting for their rights for a very long time; the issues surrounding anything from sexual assault, to trafficking and other sexual violations. After the infamous DejaVu lawsuit the labor movement finally reached this industry. This battle in particular took on a life of its own & appeared to be the most successful fight with relatively favorable results; until it wasn't. What's even more surprising is that after decades of fighting for rights, the adult entertainment industry finally got recognition on a federal level and almost nobody noticed. Activist groups, such as SWOP, and sex workers alike have been fighting for something that was technically addressed and many of the issues still being fought against could have ended back in December of 2015.   On December 15, 2015, the US Department of Labor recognized a federal labor union for adult film actors, exotic dancers & now cam models. The union is indeed on dol.gov in the same categ...

 I am currently having various discussions about the industry and one of my comments is actually a necessary blog post. Not that I haven't mentioned any of the information for people, but this is broken down. Step by step... If it didn't take the first 548 times, here's my 549th time spewing the same shit.. One day I am hoping this shit STICKS! (FOR MY SANITY.. Y'ALL BITCHES ARE MAKING ME CRAZY!) Seriously, STOP acting like you know everything, because IF you did, the following would be included; and it's not. Y'all need to LEARN THIS SHIT!!  *** COPIED & PASTED MY COMMENT*** Visit www.entertainmentadultunion.com I am listed under "officers" for the IEAU which is the mother union. The Exotic Dancer Guild is our subordinate designed only for strippers. We cover all legal sex workers and adult entertainers. Even UFC fighters & tattoo artists. It's pretty cool, but it has been a nightmare getting people to join. Even the ones going "we wa...

BASIC PSYCHOLOGY   I have decided to share some of my findings while studying the general club environment from a psychological standpoint. First, some statistics that you'll be able to validate on the NAMI website. BPD, borderline personality disorder (aka emotional disregulation disorder) is found in 1.6% of Americans, which seems benign, but that's roughly 50 million people with BPD alone; that does not include whatever mental illness it accompanies as it is rarely a standalone disorder. At the very least, PTSD comes along with the disorder as it stems from early childhood sexual and/or physical abuse, emotional neglect and any other severe childhood trauma. Meanwhile 4% of Americans are sociopaths, so 1 in 25 Americans is considered to be a sociopath. Sociopathy, unlike psychopathy, can be nearly impossible to detect and shares many of the same personality traits as someone with BPD. The difference is the nonexistence of a conscience or lack of empathy. With BPD, the rapid ...

  "Sex work". Literally self explanatory and calling it "work" would clearly be redundant. It's honest work and if you are as smart as I know you are, you should start investing in your future; if you've not done so already. For starters, download and print IRS forms 4070 and 4070A, which are specifically for the purpose of tracking all tipped income; form 4070 is the form the IRS now requires you turn into the owner of whatever establishment you work at, for tax reasons. This may mean you have to start filing taxes but on the plus side, column D on all IRS issued tip ledgers are for you to write full names of everyone you tip out and the amount. This will allow the IRS to cross-reference those names and make sure everyone you paid out claimed every dollar you paid them. Translation, your asshat club owners are fucked out of a lot of cash they take illegally; and you definitely do not pay the IRS 60% or more of your gross income. Which is what your boss is s...

  The whole "sex workers deserve rights" movement hasn't ended, it just isn't in the headlines anymore. In states like Washington, Oregon and California they've either continued to stand together or in the case of CA entertainers, moved to Austin, TX and other large cities in TX. My being here is a complete coincidence. I have been retired since September of 2018 and met with the CEO of America's largest chain of clubs last March, it was Friday the 13th and he was in my old town in IA, with Stormy Daniels. They were there for the grand opening of their newest franchise; aka the rat hole I took down. How is this relevant? I was in the news and made headlines for a while. I managed to meet important people who all play a role in this (now) crumbling industry.   I had to get the hell out of that town and while CA residents ironically scattered across TX and IA, I inadvertently moved to the right place. Iowa may have more people coming in, but Texas has the bigges...

   The last post or two have seemed a bit unclear to some. I apologize. My brain is working about as well as 2020 has gone. Just go with it...   Here's the vicious cycle, in a nutshell; we all bitch about the same shit and our next $842 night makes us forget all about it until the next $20 night and leaving the club, owing, a day later. I sincerely hope THAT needs no further explanation.   So, when I asked, "What if your career were to come to a screeching halt? What then?".. Remember your asinine answer? I rest my case.   That concludes today's session of "What the fuck is she talking about?". Hope you had a great NYE! Happy COVID 2021!
