Yeah, this is what surprised me. The audience usually is almost 50/50 men, women. And women not onlt lesbians, but certainly also a lot of couples.

If you like black and white movies, Gypsy Rose Lee. The movie is based on a book "Blame in on the G-String". Listen to the words of the songs.

I think very highly of my friend as a human being. Erotic dancers are human beings. When we are out I donot see her as an erotic dancer, but a very good friend. I think highly of her, because she has always been there for me, even when it was very hard for her. She straigthened me out a few times, as at times I can be a difficult person to deal with.

I wouldnot think less of my daughter. I wouldnot like it at all, but wouldnot think less.

Because I have seen the life that usually goes with it, which ain't pretty in many cases. I donot want her to be 'harassed' by men. Although most are very respectfull, there are obnoxious creeps in there.

Totally agreed.
