Dancing With Your Dangler Out
Speaking of The Tyee, I just read this amusing (if way too long) article entitled The Naked Truth about Male Stripping. I think my title (from a quote in the article) is way better:
Aylott, a former stripper himself, gets about six applications from would-be male strippers per month. He looks for a toned body and good dance moves, first and foremost, but will help recruits with choreography and costumes. If they pass the basics, Aylott “throws them to the lions” at one of the city’s many Ladies Nights. “The money’s pretty good, ($175 for club gigs and $200 for private parties) but 15 minutes is a long time to be dancing with your dangler out in front of a crowd of women.”
Apparently bites on the buttocks are a major on-the-job hazard. Incidentally, if you should be looking to hire (or just look at) a male stripper, this is the agency featured in the article, creatively called Stripper Entertainment (site not particular safe for work–duh). This clean (and totally) cut fellow is apparently their most popular model.
I’m reminded of two stripper-related resources: The Stripper FAQ and this fascinating technical manual outlining the rules and procedures of stripping at a New York club.
