Makes me so very fucking angry. Women who work in clubs are not prostitutes. Not even close. And it's the attitude that they're damn near prostitutes is what makes working in that industry so frustrating for many women even as it's the easiest employment to get and likely to help out through rough times. I can't even read the rest it makes me that angry.
Don't read the rest of the article. Because not all women working in clubs are damn near prostitutes but a lot of the women in the article? Are. In their own words. Um, I have got to stop blog hopping. It's depressing me.
The other random thing I was thinking about the beginning of that story was, wasn't it the "nice girl" on Las Vegas who was the VIP Host?
Sam? aka Vanessa Marcil? aka the OMG HOTTEST FEMALE EVER? She was shown as flirty but nothing more. Others were, as I recall, much more predatory. Then again, I wasn't really watching for plot. I just think she's very pretty and plays complicated and emotionally messed up characters well.
Sam? aka Vanessa Marcil?
Yeah, I guess so? Anyway, my point being that the show didn't make VIP Host anything sleazy, just a stepped-up concierge. But the clients were sometimes sleazy.
For reals? Las Vegas? For shame.
What are you trying to say? That show was cute.
What are you trying to say?
I judge. With love, but I judge. Then again, I totally never got Vanessa Marcil (residual 90210 resentment?) or Josh Duhamel, though James Lesure was cool. Still, not enough, and Ima keep judging.
Ooh, that's a nice picture, Nora.
As you probably can figure I know a lot of women who work in clubs. It's one of the last bastions of hardcore sexual harrassment, and attitudes like that writer's are why.
ita, I hope you don't think I'm angry at you for posting it. I just hate the patriarchy on display in that article and in a lot of clubs.
Tiger had texted about walking in on with DB
Boreanaz? Or another DB I'm not thinking of?

I have residual Brenda issues... I'm not proud.
though James Lesure was cool.
So much.
Nope - apparently she has been associated with David Boreanaz.
Boreanaz? Or another DB I'm not thinking of?
Yeah, him. Apparently she had a thing with him before or during her thing with Tiger.
attitudes like that writer's are why
I didn't get the impression the writer thought all women that worked in clubs went pay for play, or that they thought it was right, but you're probably more sensitive to the text than I am.
I have residual Brenda issues... I'm not proud.
Ha. Okay, I feel a little less bad. They need to revamp themselves the way Brian Austin Green or Luke Perry did.
