Women turn to pole dancing due to rising gas & food pric
BATON ROUGE, LA (WAFB) - During these tough economic times, many people are struggling to make ends meet. The city's housing market is in a slump, gas and food prices are rising, and some say it's either sink or swim. Now, some women are going to great lengths to make some extra cash right in Baton Rouge.
Real, real cute poledancing blonde
It's a fantasy, an escape for some attempting to close off the outside world. However, for the women inside who are barely clothed and strapped into high heels, exotic dancing can be a way to survive. "All of my bills were getting to be too much, especially when gas started going up," says one woman, who'll be referred to as Amber throughout the report to protect her identity.
With the average price of gasoline in these parts at an all-time high of $4.00 per gallon, and food costs rising, some women are entering the world of adult entertainment. This world of quick cash is nothing new to Amber. She stripped for three years in local clubs, but took a break after finding out she was pregnant. She then got back into the profession shortly after gas prices started rising and feeding her child got difficult. "Honestly, there are some days where I just don't eat because I can't afford to go buy food. Especially when it comes to diapers or milk, oh my God."
Amber says she's heard stories of men attempting to rape dancers in the VIP room of some clubs and women being drugged. She admits that climbing the stripper poles can be rough, but in these trying times, some women feel that for them, exotic dancing is the way to go. "It's harder. Someone looking up to you. But you know you're doing it for a better cause."
Amber says she is currently in school. She says she knows quite a few women who have recently turned to exotic dancing in order to either pay their bills, get through school, or take care of their children

Wow I have waited on tables, cleaned homes, baled hay, picked fruit and fed livestock I was afraid to ride. BUT NEVER would I have the nerve to pole dance.  Not that I am saying there is anything wrong with it but that would be living on the street desperate for me.
I hope things start looking up for her.

when you have a child, and going to school, waiting on tables 8 hours a day to make a 100 bucks is often not a good option, while a few hours dancing one night will net you 500. (depends on if you work in a club with a reasonably well heeled clientele)
Many women are turning to escort service as well. There they can make a few grand a week for hours that don't interfere with the kids or home. Or if they just need an extra thousand a month they do few calls but at least can pay the bills.

For sure!
She has such short legs, she might need some help.
Phantom might help her, you think?

I know but in my case I would have to pay them to watch me pole dance. I have two left feet.
My legs are a little longer than the pole dancer you guys are talking about though.

LOL! Wasn't Phantom's link cute?
I think I would not make a good pole dancer either: every time a guy looked at me the wrong way, I would try to punch him on the nose! LOL
