Trials & Tribulations
NYC Strippers Screwed by Sucky Stocks

So the NYC economy is headed for the crapper, sure -- but who's really suffering? Weep for the strippers.

We're told first-hand by the pole-gymnasts at joints like the Penthouse Executive Club in NYC that biz has come to a grinding halt -- and to add insult to injury, strippers say one-dollar bills have replaced tens and twenties. Oh, the humanity!

Sources tell us traffic at some super-exclusive Manhattan nightspots is down 40-50% since the wheels came off.

16. I know, it's so reprehensible that strippers are just after the money at work. Unlike car salespeople, corporate lawyers, and Lehman Brothers employees who are at *work* for the warm fuzzy feeling.

And you're right, they're just trying to rip off honest, hard working men who defend embezzlers at their corporate law gigs or are responsible for the layoffs of thousands of people because of their management consultant job.

17. Gee, MONA, you have that stripper mentality..lol...ie;, according to your line of reasoning or train of thought, just because others are dis-honest, lying, ripp-offs at work or career, then whats wrong with some dumb, loser, stripper babes ripping off people at the clubs...lol...like I said...strippers are lying cheats, and am glad to see that the economy is causing guys to not waste their cash, credit or time on these lying, thieving cheats called strippers who can't get a real job.

18. Wow you mean these gal will have to go from making $ 4,000.00 a night to $1,100.00 a night ?

The poor things lets start a Charity Fund for them.
I can run it like Laura Bush, Brabra Bush and Lynn Cheny run thier individual charities.
I will only take $100,000.00 a year as a salary to run it .

Just like Laura, Brabra and Lynn do and the U.S. Senate gave them $ 3,000,000.00 each for their Charity Foundations .

19. How about the Leham Exectives who got Multi Million Dollar Bonuses a couple of months ago before the Bankruptize announcments.

Can't they spare a few millions for these sweet little tarts!

20. American men don't need any more whiney $-eyed teaseers. We already employ our wives, daughters and co-workers for that full-time job. What we need are more inexpensive whoring options. If there's a god in heaven, our economic dive will put $15 drink clubs out of business, sending these dames to be shipped and restocked in the nearest Walmart Cathouse.

21. holy s---! i mean really people. are you really that small-minded to blame the strippers? certainly it's a fluff piece, and a pretty obvious one at that - people who used to have loads of expendable income now don't so they don't go to strip clubs. gee, thanks for stating the obvious. but do you have be so vicious and mean-spirited about it? strippers are people too. there are very few jobs that have the potential to earn as much for doing as little. as someone who has been to strip clubs in several countries, i have seen the same thing over and over - women who don't know any better but to sell their bodies. they don't believe they have any other options, which isn't true, but until they see it, there's no point in arguing about it. but why are you blaming the prostitute for the failings of the john? if men didn't want this kind of "entertainment" those kind of establishments wouldn't exist. and let's drop the religious bull-puckey. the bible condones prostitution. so all that mumbo-jumbo about the Lord is just silly.

22. if you can't say something nice... wow I don't think the point of the article was to be crude and nasty to strippers. Replace stripper with nursing student bartending her way through school and the same is true. The "service industry" suffers a lot at a time like this.

23. Everyone has this misconception about strippers but its not my fault you cant please your husband and he comes to my job lookinfg for a good time. First off not all strippers are liars, cheaters or hookers.. if we wanted to be a hooker we'd jus be a escort they make way more!. Second we dont have to lie most men come there willing with money and try to turn us into hookers.. these are your husbands,boyfriends and fathers and im not talkin about truck drivers im talkin about your lawyer,doctor, business men who are married. So if it such a sin than maybe the problem lies within your relationship why he comes to us! Most of us save (i do) and i go to college the club i work for has cameras and have very classy ladies work that might have more education than you. the point is dont judge a book by its cover. I love people who think there good religious people because they go to church on sunday but make rude comments about things they dont know about.. Stripping is a job not a career and we use it to help us get from one point of our lives to another. So dont talk about things you dont know. were not all the same!

NOW GO TO GOSSIP IN MELVILLE =)
