Jobless to Topless

Now I only post this with respect to these women. Could I personally do something like this...no probably not, but then like some I have never been put into a position in which I felt I had to do anything like this to make ends meet. It is one of the oldest professions out there and if it is what a woman has to do to support her family then by all means if you are comfortable in your body and want to do this great! One of my closest and best friends is an ex-exotic dancer and has her own business with dancers along side of her photography. Me being naive in this area have ended up at a couple of these wild parties....lol. Will never forget the firefighters last summer though;0) They were of the utmost respect guys and where it is funny now it wasn't last summer when we had a wildfire at my friends house up in the mountains. Some of those firefighters were there lol.

More women going from jobless to topless

CHICAGO - As a bartender and trainer at a national restaurant chain, Rebecca Brown earned a couple thousand dollars in a really good week. Now, as a dancer at Chicago’s Pink Monkey gentleman’s club, she makes almost that much in one good night.

The tough job market is prompting a growing number of women across the country to dance in strip clubs, appear in adult movies or pose for magazines like Hustler.

Employers across the adult entertainment industry say they’re seeing an influx of applications from women who, like Brown, are attracted by the promise of flexible schedules and fast cash. Many have college degrees and held white-collar jobs until the economy soured.
