Strip Club Holds Job Fair

Adult entertainment in Dallas is one industry that is definitely not going bust in the recession.

Dallas strip clubs said their clubs are filled with customers and job seekers. Craft said his clubs have been inundated with laid-off workers who never dreamed they'd work in the adult entertainment industry.

"In the past year, we've seen our applicant pool probably double," said Steve Craft, vice-president of Burch Management which owns at least five strip clubs in Dallas.

Because of the influx of applicants, Cabaret Royale will host a job fair on Wednesday.

Many North Texans who were stripped of their corporate jobs are turning to topless clubs for help, even if it's only for the short term, Craft said.

"Girls that worked for major corporations that now have become entertainers -- it's a short time deal but it helps them pay their mortgage until they can move on and try something else," Craft said.

I know this may end up being moved to the Lounge or deleted, but I think it's a perfect illustration of the direction the economy's taking.

Serious stuff, IMO.

4. "Girls"

Girls that worked for major corporations that now have become entertainers

I remember recently stopping in at a coffee-place for a cup. I seated myself near a table occupied by two 30-something guys. They were talking about there respective businesses and telling each other that he would have "his girl" contact the other's office. Both fellows kept referring to "my girl," as in "My girl will contact your girl...," and I wondered if "their girls" were old enough to be their mothers.

But I suppose guys go to strip clubs to see "girls," not "women."

I met a drop dead gorgeous dancer in a club who was a laid off geologist from Houston. She was making more money dancing than she made as a geologist.
