[00:00:50] Speaker B: Thank you.
[00:00:51] Speaker A: Now, we did, like, a little bit of some re.
I don't say re. What's the word? When you research. Research. Oh, God, I don't know. Nick B. And I have. Have researched strippers and events, and we've had our own experiences. And, you know, sometimes we tell stories. I say sometimes now because, you know, we used to always tell a story. You know, I got away from that, but for this one, I got stories. I got stories. Y' all know I used to work at a strip club. You know what I'm saying? I was.
[00:01:19] Speaker B: And I used to go to all the strip clubs after game night with the family.
[00:01:21] Speaker A: You did?
[00:01:22] Speaker B: To eat chicken with the family.
[00:01:23] Speaker A: With the family. With Mama.
[00:01:24] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:01:25] Speaker A: And everybody eat chicken.
[00:01:26] Speaker B: Stayed at home.
[00:01:26] Speaker A: But, oh, mom didn't go.
[00:01:27] Speaker B: She's the only one that didn't come. I mean, you know, someone got to pick us up when we can't drive home. But, you know, my brothers and sisters and cousins are very fitting.
[00:01:35] Speaker A: Absolutely. Yeah. You know, so. Yeah, so I love strippers. I love strip clubs. I love the whole vibe. The environment of sexual freedom. I like the state. Letting your hair down. You love Acropolis, don't you?
Nope.
[00:01:50] Speaker C: Exotica.
[00:01:51] Speaker B: When they were around.
[00:01:51] Speaker C: Used to.
[00:01:52] Speaker A: We were just talking about exotica behind the scenes. I loved exotica. I miss them. But so, yeah, so I used to work at a strip club. I was a bartender. Unfortunately, I didn't have the body for it. I still don't, but, you know, I like to do what I do.
But as the bartender, I saw a lot of crazy, funny things and One of the funniest things that I experienced was the pregnant stripper. What? Who used to give a two for one special what she was offering two for one lap dances. And people couldn't figure out if it was really like a two for one because you're doing two for one or is it because you're pregnant? And we couldn't figure it out, but she got into a fight with another girl because the girl got on the main stage when it was her turn, and she got mad and the girl wouldn't come off the stage. So the pregnant stripper picked up one of those metal trash cans.
[00:02:37] Speaker B: Oh, God.
[00:02:38] Speaker A: Threw it at the stage. The bouncer would not get in between. He's like, I ain't touching no naked women. I said, bruh, you're hired for this job to do that. He would not stop the fight. So I me at 5 foot 2 and the girl was tall before she had on her heels. She was probably about 6, 4 with the heels on and pregnant. The other girls across the room, they're throwing trash cans and stuff. There's glasses going everywhere. And I'm like, please, for the baby. Don't do it for the baby.
[00:03:03] Speaker B: The baby's already at work.
[00:03:05] Speaker A: Okay? There's nothing you could tell a mad stripper about losing money if she's mad. But I was like, but you're pregnant, so maybe I can use that against you to not fight. So anyways, they eventually stopped the fight. The owner used to watch us on cameras from his house. Cause I think he was kind of a creeper.
He absolutely called. It was like 11:30. He was like, shut down. I was like, bro, I only made 40 bucks.
[00:03:27] Speaker C: Oh, my God.
[00:03:28] Speaker A: He was like, shut it down. I was like, damn, everybody gotta go home. But that was like one of my most wildest crazy stripper moments.
[00:03:35] Speaker B: Have you ever worked with a pregnant stripper?
[00:03:39] Speaker C: I can never tell nowadays.
[00:03:41] Speaker A: Wait, listen.
[00:03:42] Speaker B: Like, they're just not showing or there's men with fetishes.
[00:03:46] Speaker C: I don't know if she's just that. Oh, I don't know.
[00:03:50] Speaker A: You know, they got all body types now. Yeah, all body types. I guess you're right.
[00:03:55] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:03:55] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:03:56] Speaker B: But I haven't really been to any strip clubs that are bigger girls. So, like, I've only been to, I guess what you would see. Stereotypical strippers. That body.
[00:04:05] Speaker A: Gotcha. So I've been. We used to cater at another strip club when we first started catering.
[00:04:11] Speaker B: Of course you did.
[00:04:13] Speaker A: And it was like a low budget strip club.
It was literally like the practice club. Like, a lot of girls would go there to practice because it wasn't a big club. It was like. It was called. I don't want to say what it's called, but it was in southeast.
[00:04:26] Speaker B: But she's like, another one.
[00:04:27] Speaker A: Yeah, there's a few. It was really small and it's not there no more. It's now like a German restaurant, but it was tiny and they used to sell $1 rubber bands. This one girl, bless her heart, I caught her, my little sis. I caught her, my little stripper sis. But she will allow people to snap her with the rubber bands. And they would sell the rubber bands for a dollar. And I was like, this has got to be the most degrading thing ever, because a. That hurts. And men drunk thinking that that's what she wanted would like, excessively snap back.
[00:04:53] Speaker B: Wait, wait, wait. What's the point of selling a rubber band? Are these like livestrong bands?
[00:04:57] Speaker A: No, they were rubber bands. And they would say, snap her on the ass with rubber bands.
[00:05:00] Speaker B: But why are we selling rubber bands?
[00:05:02] Speaker C: Like, what's up?
[00:05:03] Speaker A: It's her.
[00:05:04] Speaker B: Oh, that's a thing.
[00:05:05] Speaker A: It was. It was their thing. So they. They sold rubber bands for a dollar, and for the dollar they got to snap the rubber band against the girl's butt. And it was a thing. And it was like during a specific time that they were like rubber band time and they play Rubber Band man by ti. And it was a whole.
[00:05:20] Speaker B: It sound like everybody had Welch on the ass at the end of the night.
[00:05:22] Speaker A: She did like, high key. She did. I was like, see it? She's like, it's okay. And I was like.
I was like, if you like it, I love it, but I don't know if you like it or not.
[00:05:31] Speaker B: She gets beat on for fun.
[00:05:33] Speaker A: Oh, no. And I don't think so. She was a really sweet. And she came to the other club when I started working there. She was like, you there? I'm on my way. I was like, come through, sis. We about to make this money. It was really fun.
But yeah, it was. That club had all of, like the bad body, beach body, whatever girls.
They were just special. Like, that was the one where I remember the girl had the big titties that hung down. I told you. She ran to me and gave me a hug with her boobs out. And I was like. I was like, I love you, but please, the boobs up, you know, away.
So anyways, you have a stripper story.
[00:06:05] Speaker B: I mean, I have a few.
[00:06:06] Speaker A: I've told it before.
[00:06:07] Speaker B: I've Already told this, but I don't know. Did I tell you about the one, the stripper? Brooke? Did I tell you about her with the same name?
[00:06:12] Speaker C: Yeah, that's the only one I could think of.
[00:06:14] Speaker B: I was like, oh, my God. Okay. So when she walked in, you guys, I gave her a hug, and I was like, oh, my God, you smell really good. Cause she does.
And it made me think. When I was at this other strip club, a girl was giving me a lap dance. I was like, wow, you smell really, really nice. And she's like, thanks. She's like, what's your name? I was like, nicole. She says, what's your name? Or ask. No, first I asked her name. She says, my name is Brooke. And she's like, what's your name? I say, nicole.
[00:06:36] Speaker C: Oh, my God. My real name is Nicole. I was like, oh.
[00:06:41] Speaker B: But recently I went to paint and sip.
[00:06:44] Speaker A: Oh, right. That is.
[00:06:45] Speaker B: It was on Valentine's Day.
[00:06:47] Speaker A: Mm.
[00:06:47] Speaker B: And we were painting supposedly live models only. Oh, yeah. We're have to insert this motion into the thing. But so the, the male dancer came over to me and me and my awkward self. You know, he's dancing on me, and I'm like, oh, okay. So I just start tickling his belly. I just gave him little tummy tickles and patted him on the ass. And I was like, oh, my God, your lotion is amazing. Do you make this? Where can I buy it?
I'm that awkward. That actually happened.
[00:07:15] Speaker A: And then she was like, here's a crispy diet.
[00:07:16] Speaker C: And I did.
[00:07:17] Speaker B: I said, where should I put your dollar?
I said, you earned this.
[00:07:21] Speaker A: And then he was like, I'm walking away.
I cannot. But. Okay, so enough of our stories. We are being joined by Chyna. And so in what we talked about via our communications. You are a single mom, you love dancing, and you've been dancing since 2013.
Okay, so you were like a vet? Like you.
[00:07:44] Speaker C: Yeah, that's, that's a long time. 12 years.
[00:07:46] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:07:47] Speaker B: Is that long time for your profession? Is that considered a long time?
[00:07:51] Speaker C: I feel like, yeah, okay. Yeah, it is.
[00:07:52] Speaker B: Okay, what's the.
[00:07:53] Speaker A: But you still look good. So I'm like, When you walked in, I was like. I was, I was like, wait a minute. She said, since 20.
I was like, man, when you were 2, what were you doing? Like, okay, Barbie and Kim, what's the.
[00:08:05] Speaker B: Normal lifespan for a dancer?
[00:08:07] Speaker C: I, I, I can't answer that. No, a lot of have different.
[00:08:11] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:08:12] Speaker C: You know, time spent. They want to dance two years, three years. But really, when you're like, oh, this is my last year.
[00:08:18] Speaker B: It's never, never your last year.
[00:08:20] Speaker C: I've been saying that for a couple years. Like, last year for my birthday, I was like, oh, this is my last.
[00:08:23] Speaker A: Birthday as a stripper.
[00:08:24] Speaker C: That's a lie.
[00:08:26] Speaker A: That's a lot. That's my last, you know, my last 21st birthday.
Next year is going to be my last 22nd year.
[00:08:33] Speaker C: Okay. Yeah. No, I love it. I don't know. I loved it.
[00:08:36] Speaker A: Did you?
How did you even get into stripping?
[00:08:39] Speaker C: Yeah. So, okay. I was a CNA after I had my son. My mother and my grandmother loved it.
[00:08:45] Speaker B: We're gonna talk afterwards.
[00:08:46] Speaker C: Cause I'm gonna do this. They pushed me into that. And I was like, you know what? I gotta do it. I'm a mom now. So I did it a year and a half in. I was like, I do not wanna do this. Something, you know, personal happened on the job. And I was like, you know what?
[00:08:58] Speaker A: On the CNA job? Yeah. Oh, okay.
[00:09:00] Speaker C: Yeah. So then I started going out with my friends to a juice bar called Diamonds. It was on 33rd. And Sandy, it's not there no more, sadly. I was so sad when it shut down. But I would go there as a customer with all my friends, and we would have a good time. And I met this dancer named Layla.
[00:09:16] Speaker A: Okay, shout out Layla.
[00:09:18] Speaker C: Yes. Because.
Yes, ma'. Am. She's the one. Yeah. She was the one who made all this.
But, you know, she was dancing on stage. She had this beautiful body. I mean, big, big breasts.
No waist. No waist, no waist. And a big ass. I'm huge. The girl was beautiful, really. And we bonded because we had just had our kids. She had twins. But she looked amazing.
[00:09:45] Speaker B: Like, like baby wear.
[00:09:47] Speaker C: Literally, babies wear. So, like, you know, I'm tipping her and she's like, oh, my God, you're so pretty.
Why aren't you dancing? And I was like, oh, girl, I just had my son. I'm so insecure about my boobs. Cause they, you know, they not sitting like they used to sit right with my son. I was. When I had my son, I was 19. So, you know, I had them perky 19 year olds. I've had double Ds since I was like, 16. So, like, they were beautiful. She's like, girl, you don't see my titties.
I said, girl, you right. You right. So she was like, I want to see you in here tomorrow. Oh, auditioning. And I was like, yes, ma'. Am. That's all I did. But you had never danced before. Never danced before.
[00:10:25] Speaker A: Okay, now, when we say never dance, though. But did you. I know sometimes people have like, a. Like a generally, like, sexual nature of, like, how you like to, like, dance the club with your homegirls. Because I know, you know, we be, like, out here grinding, slow, whatever, doing. So was it, like, dancing was natural to you or was this completely formal?
[00:10:40] Speaker C: I felt like it was natural because when I was, like, 15, I used to go to the Miracles Club on MLK.
[00:10:45] Speaker A: Not the.
[00:10:45] Speaker B: Yep, Miracles.
[00:10:46] Speaker C: The Miracles. Yeah.
[00:10:47] Speaker B: The Recovery Club.
[00:10:48] Speaker A: I was gonna say anything. We did a teen night, though, back in the day.
[00:10:51] Speaker C: Yes. When I was 15, they had a tea night.
[00:10:52] Speaker A: It was always so weird to me. But we'll talk about that later.
[00:10:55] Speaker B: Another show. It's another show.
[00:10:56] Speaker C: So, yeah, when I was. I was a little, you know, hot in the tail. But, you know, me and my cousins, we would. Because they lived at the apartments on mlk, you know.
[00:11:03] Speaker A: Gotcha.
[00:11:03] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So we would walk down to Miracles and just dance our hearts out all night. And it was just so much fun. So I feel like transitioning into stripping was easy. Cause I already had the rhythm. Rhythm. I had the, you know, the smooth movement. So, yeah, I already had it in me. I feel like.
[00:11:20] Speaker B: So did you have, like, a routine, or you just get up there and you just start.
[00:11:23] Speaker C: I got up there and I just started moving.
I just started moving. And it was. I'm not gonna say my first night was busy, because it was not. It was very dead.
There were a couple, you know, men who want to see the little miners.
Creeps.
Yeah. So they came in. But the whole. My whole first shift, Laila taught me basic spins, how to give a proper lap dance.
And it was just. My whole first night was just learning the ropes from her.
[00:11:51] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:11:52] Speaker C: But my mother was a dancer.
So that night when she told me, I want to see you in here tomorrow. But I called my mom the next day. Mom, what'd your mom say?
[00:12:02] Speaker B: What I need to do was she.
[00:12:04] Speaker C: Oh, she was all for it.
[00:12:05] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:12:06] Speaker C: She was like, okay, well, I'm gonna let you know this right now. Don't get naked unless there's $20 on your stage and woo woo, woop and blah, blah, blah. I was like, okay, bet, bet. Ok. My mom laced me with game.
[00:12:14] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:12:14] Speaker C: Before I even started.
[00:12:15] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:12:16] Speaker C: Layla helped me.
[00:12:18] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:12:18] Speaker C: With all the rest. Okay.
[00:12:20] Speaker A: Gotcha. So that's how we got started. Okay. So you were CNA first, and then you went to dancing. And how long before you transitioned from the juice bar to, like, full nudity bar?
Because if you don't know juice bars, you cannot get fully naked in. Correct?
[00:12:39] Speaker C: No, no, no. This one I. Oh yeah, yeah. This one was full new.
[00:12:43] Speaker A: Oh, really?
[00:12:44] Speaker C: Cuz there's no alcohol. Portland isn't like that.
[00:12:46] Speaker A: Oh, okay.
[00:12:47] Speaker C: Cuz back Portland is a full new club no matter what, no matter where you at.
[00:12:50] Speaker A: But Juice bar is underage. Can like under 21 can come in.
[00:12:53] Speaker C: Yes, 18 and up can come in. There's no alcohol. This is just all juice ripples and all that stuff. But you can definitely get full.
[00:12:59] Speaker A: Oh, can you? Okay, gotcha. Okay, gotcha. So but you transition from a juice bar to another club, how long did it take for you to get there?
[00:13:07] Speaker C: I feel like I stayed at Diamonds for a minute.
[00:13:09] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:13:11] Speaker C: I actually worked at Heat, which is long gone now, but I worked there and we had to stay in a certain section because we were minors.
[00:13:18] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:13:20] Speaker C: My first 21 and up club, I want to say was Black Cauldron, which is long.
[00:13:28] Speaker B: I don't even know that.
[00:13:29] Speaker C: Which is long gone now too. It was on 159th and Stark.
[00:13:32] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:13:32] Speaker C: And it's a sister club to Costa Diablo.
[00:13:35] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:13:36] Speaker C: So.
[00:13:37] Speaker A: Right, yeah, yeah.
[00:13:39] Speaker C: So I worked there when I was freshly 21, and then subies as well when I was a minor.
[00:13:47] Speaker B: My brother, I'm sure.
[00:13:48] Speaker A: Oh Lord have mercy. I know for sure.
[00:13:51] Speaker C: We'll talk off.
[00:13:54] Speaker A: Like silence.
Okay, so with all those transitions, did you find that money was better in certain places? And why, like, why was money better in certain areas?
[00:14:09] Speaker C: I don't think I can say money was better. It just depends on who you are as a person, who you are as a dancer, and who likes you.
[00:14:15] Speaker B: But let me ask this. At the juice bar, were you, was it good money there? Because I would think that the drunkier, the more, the easier you are to spend your money.
And then also just you stay longer because you're drinking, you know, like.
[00:14:29] Speaker C: Well, at a juice bar. Cuz we're open till six in the morning. Oh, people come in regardless.
[00:14:34] Speaker A: Because we're open there after the other clubs.
[00:14:36] Speaker C: Exactly. And they already drunk, so they come in regardless. So I was definitely making good money at Diamonds. Yeah, for sure.
[00:14:44] Speaker A: That's what's up. Okay, so to make good money as a dancer, what is this? What does this consist of?
[00:14:53] Speaker C: I'm gonna answer as my younger self.
[00:14:55] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:14:55] Speaker C: Being nice, being approachable, smiling and playing into whatever role of the man that's sitting in front of you.
[00:15:05] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:15:06] Speaker C: As my older self. I don't give a fuck.
You gonna spend it or not?
[00:15:10] Speaker A: Cause if not. He would.
[00:15:11] Speaker C: Cause at this point, I'm like. At this point of me dancing, I prefer money to come to me.
[00:15:17] Speaker A: Right.
[00:15:18] Speaker C: Because it's guaranteed.
And 90% of the time, that's what's happening for me.
[00:15:22] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:15:23] Speaker C: Like, if it's a weekend and it's busy and I'm drinking, I'm definitely gonna make myself, you know, work my way around the room. But on a Wednesday, Thursday, and I'm tipsy, maybe I'm gonna sit back and I'm, you know, I'm gonna let you come to me, and that's. That's what happens.
[00:15:40] Speaker A: And it just works out that way.
[00:15:42] Speaker C: It does.
[00:15:42] Speaker B: Do you do private rooms?
[00:15:43] Speaker C: Yes.
[00:15:44] Speaker B: You do?
[00:15:44] Speaker C: Yes, I do.
[00:15:45] Speaker B: And that's usually where the good money is at, I assume.
[00:15:47] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:15:48] Speaker C: But if somebody is gonna make my day on the stage all night, I'm all for it.
[00:15:54] Speaker B: Okay. I know that your mentor taught you, like, moves and dances and stuff. Was it hard to learn how to, like, really dance on a pole?
[00:16:04] Speaker C: Damn.
[00:16:04] Speaker B: Because, like, do you have to have bad upper body strength? Because I could never climb the rope in pe. I'm just saying, I would be the stripper. Just walking around the bottom, swinging like this, not going up.
[00:16:15] Speaker A: She gonna do the little practice.
[00:16:19] Speaker B: But, you know, I totally envy the girls on P. Valley. I'm like, the athleticism, you know, being able to do those dances, those stunts, it's wild. Are you able to do stuff like that?
[00:16:31] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:16:32] Speaker C: How did you. How do you.
[00:16:33] Speaker A: Listen?
[00:16:34] Speaker B: Do you take gymnastics after hours? How do you do that?
[00:16:36] Speaker C: I don't. I just. I either watch other girls or I just watch YouTube videos or, you know, TikTok videos. And I just. I learn at work when it's slow. At work, I'm practicing on the.
[00:16:47] Speaker B: Have you ever hurt yourself while trying something?
[00:16:49] Speaker C: One time in my 12 years. Oh, my God. I was at work and it was. It was a slow night. There was a couple people in there, but it was a couple faces that I already knew, so I didn't really care.
I had took my shoes off on the backstage to practice a certain poem move.
And because I didn't have the grip on my feet from my shoes, a bitch plummeted.
But I moved my face just in time so it was all shoulder and side. I laid there for a couple seconds.
[00:17:15] Speaker A: And I was like, how high up were you?
[00:17:17] Speaker C: I don't think it was that tall of a paw. Maybe.
Maybe nine feet tall.
And I was at the top.
Yeah, the sound. I wasn't too fond of it, but.
[00:17:29] Speaker B: You know, do you Only dance here locally or do you travel?
[00:17:33] Speaker C: So I spend most of my time in Portland, but when I do travel to dance, I go to Phoenix.
Shout out to Jaguars.
[00:17:40] Speaker A: Oh, okay.
[00:17:41] Speaker C: That's my baby.
Yes. I love it. It's huge. It has six stages, huge VIP room, and then they have floor dances at all the tables. You just make money. Where you standing at?
[00:17:52] Speaker A: Gotcha.
[00:17:53] Speaker C: So that's what I love so much about.
Well, you can either dance your license out there.
[00:17:57] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:17:57] Speaker C: But it is only $25.
[00:17:59] Speaker A: Oh, oh. Everywhere else is 200 card is serious.
So.
[00:18:05] Speaker B: Wait, okay. Because I don't know anything about this. You have to be licensed to be.
[00:18:08] Speaker C: A dancer in Phoenix.
[00:18:09] Speaker B: Just in Phoenix?
[00:18:10] Speaker C: Yes.
[00:18:10] Speaker B: That's not a. Every state rule.
[00:18:12] Speaker A: That's. Every state has their own rules.
[00:18:13] Speaker C: Yes.
[00:18:13] Speaker A: Okay, so like in Vegas, you have to have a sheriff's card. They call it a sheriff's card.
[00:18:17] Speaker B: Essentially the same thing, different name.
[00:18:18] Speaker A: Pretty.
[00:18:19] Speaker B: Okay. And then I imagine, okay, you're licensed in the state, you want to do your dancing.
Do you still have to, like, audition if you go to any other club or can you just say, hey, I'm a dancer, I'm in town. Do you have any room tonight?
[00:18:37] Speaker C: Is it. Oh, no, you still have to audition.
[00:18:38] Speaker B: You do.
[00:18:39] Speaker C: Okay. Yeah.
[00:18:40] Speaker A: So when you do travel out of town, like, how often, how long do you have to stay for it to be worth the travel?
[00:18:46] Speaker C: It's been different every time I've went to Phoenix. I've went for two weeks and made a bag. I've went for a month and made.
But I did mess up the last time I went to Phoenix. And I went during the hottest month of the summer. And that's when everybody leaves Phoenix. That's when everybody's out of town. They go into cooler places. So the clubs are dead. So that was my mistake.
[00:19:07] Speaker A: Got you.
[00:19:08] Speaker C: And then my best friend didn't tell me.
[00:19:12] Speaker A: She said, let me look at this camera.
[00:19:17] Speaker C: But yeah, she was like, oh, I forgot to you tell.
[00:19:20] Speaker A: Damn.
[00:19:21] Speaker C: After you.
[00:19:21] Speaker B: Wait, so with dancing and going to other locations, do you. Are you in a relationship?
[00:19:30] Speaker C: No, I'm single. I've been single for three.
Two.
Two years.
[00:19:35] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:19:36] Speaker C: I think. I don't know.
[00:19:37] Speaker B: While you were in a relationship, was it hard having a relationship align with your profession?
[00:19:45] Speaker C: Not on my end, because I know who I am. She's like, I was good and I know for real, I know who I am. But it's. It's hard because dealing with insecure men, they gonna always have that assumption in their head about whatever they thinking.
[00:20:01] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:20:01] Speaker C: And whatever people perceive strippers as. Right. They're gonna put that on every stripper, even though we're all our own individuals.
[00:20:09] Speaker B: Right.
[00:20:09] Speaker A: And do you find that men approach you because obviously the sexual attraction, they're like, they want what they see, and then once they get you, they want to change you.
[00:20:17] Speaker C: Exactly.
[00:20:19] Speaker B: Knowing where they met you attracted.
[00:20:22] Speaker A: Right. Them to you. They want to take you home and.
[00:20:24] Speaker B: Have you and then make you a housewife.
[00:20:26] Speaker C: Don't leave the house.
Yeah.
[00:20:29] Speaker A: So are there. Okay, I'm gonna ask this question. Are there limitations to what you will do at the club or outside the club?
[00:20:37] Speaker C: So I don't do work outside the club.
[00:20:38] Speaker A: Okay.
We gonna take a sip on the.
[00:20:42] Speaker C: Apple inside the club.
[00:20:47] Speaker A: I do.
[00:20:48] Speaker C: I do. I let people know my rules before we get into the dance. You can touch my boobs, you can touch my ass. Do not touch my vagina. And don't put your tongue nowhere on my body.
And this is how I talk to people like this. Like, how I am outside is. I'm not gonna put on a mask for the club. Yeah. How you meet me is what you get right out inside of the tape. Right? So. And it's.
I have to lay down the rules because a lot of men, if I don't, some nights I do forget. And then they try to do it, and I'm like, so you want this.
[00:21:18] Speaker A: Dance to be over, Right? Right.
[00:21:19] Speaker C: You want me to take your money? You're not getting nothing, so you want to behave. Oh, okay.
[00:21:25] Speaker A: So, yeah, I'm sure that you've established these rules because you've experienced some things. So what led you to. To create these rules?
[00:21:33] Speaker C: What was my little speech before we start is, you know, I normally just get in there. We start. I don't care what time, I don't care what part of the song we on. This is your first song. When we sit down, we starting. That's it. And I've had men like. Cause you know, in the lab dance, when I'm turned away from him and I'm standing up, shaking my ass, and I bend over, I've had a man lick me.
I backhanded that motherfucker real hard. He learned his lesson that night.
So ever since that man. Yeah, that's them.
[00:22:01] Speaker A: Is my rules in place.
[00:22:02] Speaker C: Don't try nothing when I'm not looking, cuz, baby, I promise you, you're not going to like the result.
[00:22:06] Speaker B: Don't you have bouncers, like, around you that are supposed to.
[00:22:10] Speaker A: You don't know my story.
He ain't touching nobody no I know they're not touching.
[00:22:14] Speaker B: Okay. But I'm still going back to P Valley where I'm looking at old boy where he's like, yo, hands off the ladies.
[00:22:20] Speaker A: Oh, right, right.
[00:22:21] Speaker B: He didn't touch him. He didn't, but he was there kind of to protect.
[00:22:24] Speaker C: Do you have. This is the thing.
Bouncers have their posts and they stay in their posts. They'll do a walk around. Every so often, they'll peek in a lap dance room if they feel like, you know, something's going on. But we don't have security to standing outside the lap dance room, watching, making sure a man follows the rules.
We have to be our own protectors in that room. Because in that room, curtains closed.
[00:22:52] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:22:52] Speaker C: We by ourselves essentially. Like, yeah, there's cameras, but they're not gonna get there quick enough. Yeah. You hear me? So, like, I've always felt like I have to be my own.
[00:23:02] Speaker A: Yeah, Security.
[00:23:05] Speaker C: I'm gonna hem you up.
[00:23:06] Speaker A: Do you take self defense classes or training?
[00:23:08] Speaker C: No, I'm just naturally muscular, so I. And very heavy handed and my legs are strong, so if I got to put you in a chokehold with my thighs, I would do that.
[00:23:17] Speaker B: They'll be like, yes.
[00:23:18] Speaker A: I was like, okay, keep it right.
[00:23:19] Speaker B: There, keep it right there.
But okay, but kind of on that same subject. So obviously you have your boundaries and you, you know, you're really good with setting them. However, have you ever, like, been into the guy and been like, maybe I don't mind if you want to stay right there. Like, do you ever break your own rules?
[00:23:38] Speaker C: If.
[00:23:38] Speaker B: If it, if that's what you want to do?
[00:23:40] Speaker C: No, no, no.
[00:23:42] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:23:43] Speaker C: Not in the club.
[00:23:44] Speaker A: He's in that.
[00:23:45] Speaker C: But do you.
[00:23:45] Speaker A: Okay, okay.
[00:23:46] Speaker C: There we go.
[00:23:46] Speaker B: That's what I'm like. I'm sure you come across.
I'm sure you come across someone that you're like, you know, I would like to get, you know, you outside the club.
[00:23:55] Speaker C: But see, this is the thing. Every super attractive man that I've danced for in the club, they've always been super respectful. They buy drinks, they take me on stage, they take me in the back. They don't even want to touch me.
They just want to sit there and watch me dance for them.
[00:24:13] Speaker A: Right?
[00:24:14] Speaker C: Like that's what turns me on. Like you in here being a man.
[00:24:17] Speaker A: Right, Fellas, take notes.
[00:24:20] Speaker B: Take note.
[00:24:21] Speaker C: And it's always, you know, the.
I'm not gonna say it, but the ones that just have the audacity to want to touch you all over, they.
[00:24:30] Speaker B: Be the broke ones.
[00:24:34] Speaker A: They Gotta try. They like, I'm. I'm here. I'm in there. Let me get it while I can. Exactly.
[00:24:39] Speaker C: Exactly.
[00:24:40] Speaker A: Have you ever. Have you ever had to step in for somebody else who maybe wasn't as firm with their boundaries as you were? Like, for another girl? Have you ever had to step in.
[00:24:47] Speaker C: For a girl after her lap dance was over and she was crying? Oh, no. And yeah, there's been plenty of times. And I'm just like, when that happens, suck the shit out that motherfucker.
[00:24:58] Speaker A: Right, Right.
[00:24:58] Speaker C: Walk out.
[00:24:59] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:24:59] Speaker C: I don't care what this club tell you. They gonna fire you. They gonna give the man their money back and let him go to the club.
[00:25:05] Speaker A: Walk out.
[00:25:05] Speaker C: Exactly. Quit. Walk out. Go. There's so many clubs in Portland.
[00:25:09] Speaker A: So many clubs in Portland strip city.
[00:25:11] Speaker C: So.
Yes.
[00:25:13] Speaker B: Is it with there being so many clubs that also means that there's so many dancers, do you find that the market can be oversaturated because there are so many clubs here?
[00:25:22] Speaker C: Oh, absolutely. Okay. Absolutely.
[00:25:25] Speaker B: So then to be successful in Portland with so many strip clubs, what sets you aside from just the average moneymaker versus the woman that's really making good money in a place where there's so many women doing what you're doing?
[00:25:40] Speaker C: Well, a lot of clubs don't have a lot of girls, so I don't work at the super popular clubs like Rouge, Spice, anywhere downtown. I don't like to work because there's so many girls.
[00:25:54] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:25:55] Speaker C: And when you start at a club, you're. You're fresh meat. It can either go, we don't know you and I'm not gonna spend no money on you, or, we like new meat and we finna blow it back. I worked one shift at Spice.
I barely made any money because the customers in there are regulars. They have their preference.
[00:26:17] Speaker B: They have their girls.
[00:26:18] Speaker C: Exactly. They have their girls that they already came to blow their bag on. So. But I. I just stick to my loyalty lies. To one club. I stick. I work at one club, I build my clientele, I have my regulars, and that's just what I do.
[00:26:31] Speaker A: And that works?
[00:26:32] Speaker C: Yes. And I'm always my real authentic self, and they appreciate that.
[00:26:37] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:26:38] Speaker C: So.
[00:26:38] Speaker B: So kind of going back to when you're in a relationship or when you were in a relationship, even though your partner knew what you do for a living, do you ever change what you're willing to do out of respect for your relationship?
[00:26:59] Speaker C: I mean, I'm the same.
Cause I don't do too much. Yeah. Like, if I'm single.
[00:27:05] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:27:05] Speaker C: I Have a little bit more fun. You know, you can spank me. You know, we can live out your little kink in the champagne room. That's fine.
But in a relationship, it's. I still have the same rules, because this is this man's fantasy. And so there's no money that would change that when I'm single outside of the club. Absolutely.
[00:27:24] Speaker B: Absolutely.
[00:27:25] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:27:25] Speaker C: Okay. But in a relationship, in the club, I don't tell people I'm in a relationship. Yeah, of course they don't want to hear that. Well, right.
[00:27:34] Speaker B: No. So it's not even for the person that you're.
[00:27:36] Speaker C: But for me, you know, I'm a maneuver to respect my man. Yeah. Period.
[00:27:42] Speaker A: Okay. Makes sense. Makes sense. Now, we talked about this when you first came in as far as, like, the peas in the club. And if you know what a pee is, it's pimp.
And because Portland is such a heavy sex industry location for many reasons, like trafficking and legitimate, you know, whatever.
How do you navigate avoiding, like. Well. Cause you are more of, like, an OG at this point. But, like, how do you navigate. Or how do other girls navigate pimps coming in, being, trying to be groomed and all those things? Like, how does that work?
[00:28:16] Speaker C: So at this point in my dancing career, I know who's poorly small.
[00:28:22] Speaker A: Right?
[00:28:22] Speaker C: I know all y'.
[00:28:23] Speaker A: All.
[00:28:23] Speaker C: Right? And it's typically a black man.
No shade, right. But I avoid black men in the club altogether.
[00:28:33] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:28:34] Speaker B: Our producer just said date.
Sorry.
I guess I won't be swinging by after work.
[00:28:44] Speaker C: I have a couple black men who are friends who come support me in the club loving death.
Because they were respectful.
[00:28:50] Speaker A: Right.
[00:28:51] Speaker C: A lot of peas in Portland are not respectful.
[00:28:54] Speaker A: Right. That's facts.
[00:28:55] Speaker C: They want to come off aggressive. And, you know. And I'm not people, like I said, my mama laced me with games before I started, so I know who to watch out for.
And my demeanor, I'm a very. My mouth is.
I'm disrespectful. I don't give a fuck who you is. I'm gonna call you a bitch, like, all that. I don't care who you are. This is me.
So, yeah, none of that scares me. And it's like, I watch other girls fall for it. I'm like, damn. And I'm not the type to be like, oh, girl, you gotta watch out for him. Because girls ain't gonna take it as me helping.
[00:29:30] Speaker A: They gonna think you hating on me.
[00:29:31] Speaker C: They gonna be like, oh, girl, you.
[00:29:32] Speaker A: Hating on my money.
[00:29:33] Speaker C: Yeah, it's like, he throwing you money now.
To make you seem like he gonna blow it back. But then when you pick that up and go talk to him, oh, you know, you gonna join the team or what?
[00:29:44] Speaker A: Right?
[00:29:45] Speaker C: Ooh, ooh. Like, okay, girl, have fun with that.
I don't talk to too many women in this industry.
[00:29:53] Speaker A: Now, how is that?
So are the girls friendly with each other, or is it very much competitive?
[00:29:59] Speaker C: You can't ask me that because I'm not friendly.
[00:30:02] Speaker A: She said, I don't talk to nobody.
[00:30:04] Speaker C: I go to work to make my money, and I go home.
So when I'm at work, I'm sitting by myself.
I don't talk to. I don't lollygag. I have my couple friends who I.
[00:30:15] Speaker A: Make a bag with, right?
[00:30:17] Speaker C: And that's it. I'm not finna just sit in this club and chat with all you girls from Wes.
[00:30:21] Speaker A: It's not my social life.
[00:30:22] Speaker B: We at work. This is.
[00:30:23] Speaker C: Exactly.
And because I'm like that, a lot of girls label me a bully. Oh, not. You're the problem. Oh, gosh, no. Literally, I' ma always be the problem. And I.
I don't care.
[00:30:38] Speaker B: But it's interesting that you'd be labeled that, because, honestly, it sounds like if you listen to, you're there to actually help. I mean, you figured out that a lot of people don't take your advice because it comes off away.
But it's unfortunate that that's your label when in reality, you're like, yo, I'm trying to make sure you are good.
[00:30:57] Speaker C: Literally, like, a lot of these girls are two, three, four years in, and I'm like, baby, I'm 12, right? So if I have something to say to you, I. I feel like you should really listen. Like, I know what's going on. I know these peas game. I know what they talking about. You know, all that. Like, when I first started dancing, I was at.
You know what? I'm not gonna say the club name I don't fuck with.
[00:31:16] Speaker B: They don't get it.
[00:31:17] Speaker C: But, you know, I was at a club, and this P came in, and he was like, oh, you know, if I throw some money on you, can I get a refund?
Wait, what's the refund? And what's crazy is just a month ago, this man came into my club, and I recognized his ugly ass.
[00:31:37] Speaker A: Mm.
[00:31:38] Speaker C: And he tried to talk to.
[00:31:40] Speaker A: Did he use the same line or did he recognize you?
[00:31:42] Speaker C: Nah, he didn't recognize me, but I walked away when he tried to talk to me.
[00:31:47] Speaker A: So. Okay, quick question. Cause maybe I'm just slow.
[00:31:49] Speaker C: Was It.
[00:31:49] Speaker A: No.
[00:31:49] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:31:50] Speaker B: What is a reason?
[00:31:50] Speaker C: As in he gonna make it rain.
[00:31:52] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:31:52] Speaker C: And then I'm get off stage, collect my funds and get him back to him.
[00:31:55] Speaker A: Like, literally a refund.
[00:31:57] Speaker C: Literally. He was dead.
[00:31:58] Speaker B: I'm sitting here like, I just know, right?
[00:32:01] Speaker C: And he was black. Sorry, cameraman.
[00:32:05] Speaker B: Yo.
[00:32:06] Speaker C: He is the reason I do not talk to black men in the club. Unless you in there with a suit from out of town, from down south, or from Phoenix, I'm not going to talk to you.
[00:32:16] Speaker A: So basically no locals.
[00:32:17] Speaker B: He wanted his money back.
[00:32:19] Speaker C: Wanted his money back.
[00:32:20] Speaker B: What was the point of giving it to you?
[00:32:21] Speaker C: To make him look good and to make me look good. Baby, I already look good. You can't make me look. No.
[00:32:26] Speaker A: So as a P, he was like, I'm gonna throw this money on you. You're gonna give it back to me, but it's gonna make me look like I'm stunting. You gonna look like you're making money, so other people are gonna make you money. And because I did that for you, you gonna give me some more of your money.
[00:32:37] Speaker C: Suck. Psych.
[00:32:39] Speaker A: Like, I've met males, I've met male dancers who actually give their girlfriends or their women that they deal with, they give them money ahead of time, and those girls are assigned to then throw money on them to kind of get the crowd going, but they've given it to them ahead of time. It's just coming back to them, makes their own money. So I've seen that in that way, just like, maybe you're just not good at your job just to get the ball rolling, because if you need someone.
[00:33:01] Speaker B: But you said this is a males.
[00:33:03] Speaker A: Yeah, I've seen men do that.
[00:33:04] Speaker B: Very different than a woman's strip club.
[00:33:06] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:33:07] Speaker B: So not the same vibe at all.
[00:33:08] Speaker C: Right.
[00:33:08] Speaker A: Because I know I go to lots of male reviews and I've been to lots of female strip clubs, and I'm just like, it's totally different. Like, I feel like the. The patrons of. Of a woman's strip club, they're there with the intention of, I think I'm gonna take this girl home. Like, legitimately. I think I'm gonna take this girl home. Women go to these male reviews and they're like, I would love to. It's a fantasy, but I know I'm going home by myself kind of a thing. So how.
Like, that's just my personal view of attending. Like, how is it different for you?
Like, men dancers and entertainers versus women dancers and entertainers?
[00:33:40] Speaker C: I've never been to a male strip club.
[00:33:41] Speaker A: Shut the fuck. Okay. We gotta hang out.
[00:33:43] Speaker C: Okay. No, wait. One time.
[00:33:44] Speaker A: I'm gonna hang out one time.
[00:33:46] Speaker C: But it was a cross between women. Amen.
Reveal.
[00:33:50] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:33:51] Speaker C: It's in Beaverton.
[00:33:52] Speaker A: Oh, I've been there. I didn't know it was a man.
[00:33:55] Speaker C: I don't know if they do it anymore. Oh, at the time they had men and women and it was, it was.
[00:34:02] Speaker A: Cool on the floor one main time.
[00:34:04] Speaker C: Oh, yes.
[00:34:05] Speaker A: Now remember back in the day, right.
[00:34:06] Speaker B: There, viewpoint over there.
[00:34:07] Speaker A: It was men upstairs in the raggedy ass private club and the women downstairs.
[00:34:10] Speaker B: That's the only dual spot that I've been like that.
[00:34:13] Speaker A: Yeah, but it was never like on the same floor.
[00:34:15] Speaker B: I feel like male reviews are not. I don't think they're taken as serious. I feel like it's what they do for. For show, for bachelorette parties, for birthdays and so it feels more like a performance versus coming to watch someone dance. Yeah, it's different.
[00:34:33] Speaker A: Right.
[00:34:35] Speaker B: I don't think the men are honestly taken quite as serious and then they travel more. But for gigs, it's. It's like that. It's not like they're just doing one club.
[00:34:43] Speaker A: That's facts.
[00:34:44] Speaker B: So you mentioned you have a son.
So how much does your son know about your work?
[00:34:51] Speaker C: You know what, he's 13 now, so I don't know. I'm always carrying out a dance bag. My little dance with all my outfits. He's seen my outfits, he's seen my shoes. But when I first started dancing, I told him I was working late at Walmart.
[00:35:05] Speaker A: Shut the front door.
[00:35:09] Speaker C: So I don't know if he still believes that, but I feel like that talk is coming soon because I don't want to stop for a couple more years. Like I have a couple business ideas that I want to do and I just, I enjoy dancing too much. Yeah, like not, not the men, but like being on stage, performing, doing pole tricks, listening to good music all night, like that's my vibe.
[00:35:30] Speaker A: See, it's the energy, I'm telling you, it's a vibe. When you go into dance, it really is.
[00:35:35] Speaker C: And with the right people. Right?
[00:35:36] Speaker A: That's very true too, so. Cause like again, I thought about that too. When you say he's 13 and you know, we direct on social media, so it's like you have a social media page and so it's evident of what you do on that. Does he have social media?
[00:35:49] Speaker C: He has a. I recently found out he has Instagram.
[00:35:52] Speaker A: Oh.
[00:35:52] Speaker C: I haven't talked to him about it too much.
[00:35:54] Speaker B: You're gonna put that parental control on that thing.
[00:35:56] Speaker C: I'm gonna go on his Instagram and block myself because I've blocked all my family members. Well, not my mom, because my mom, she supports me, but I've blocked my dad.
[00:36:05] Speaker A: You block him from yours because if you block you from him, he can see on his block list.
[00:36:09] Speaker C: Oh, you're right. Right. Thank you.
[00:36:11] Speaker A: Thank you. I got you. Cause I got kids, and I don't want them listening to the podcast.
[00:36:15] Speaker B: I had to tell her, first of all, her kids are our biggest fans.
[00:36:18] Speaker A: I mean, they are. But I told a story one time about this man who was inappropriate as hell, and he told me to come to his job and suck his dick. And I posted on social media, and all I heard from the other room was, mom.
I was like, block.
And then I had to go in and I was like, nick, I see that my son follows you block him. She's like, I'm gonna lose a follower.
Fuck your follower count.
My son is spying on us, right?
[00:36:45] Speaker C: Oh, my gosh.
[00:36:48] Speaker B: That is hilarious.
[00:36:51] Speaker C: That is that hilarious.
[00:36:52] Speaker A: But I love that you mentioned that you have other business ventures that you're looking into. So obviously, like, you're making as much money as you can possibly in the next few years.
What are those business adventures that you're looking into?
[00:37:04] Speaker C: So my first one was a massage therapist for just strippers.
[00:37:08] Speaker A: Oh, that's.
[00:37:09] Speaker B: And you can do that, though, so you could stay in the environment.
[00:37:12] Speaker C: I wouldn't do that. No, not in the club. But I'm like, although, you know, I.
[00:37:15] Speaker B: Would travel, work, come.
[00:37:18] Speaker C: Yeah, no, you're right, you're right, you're right.
[00:37:19] Speaker A: So she's like, I can tell that she wants to set, like, a vibe. She was like, I have a whole ambience. Like, I want to cater to you.
[00:37:25] Speaker C: Create an apartment. Get a third. Get a three bedroom. My third bedroom will be that studio where it's quiet, it smells good. You can.
I'm gonna have robes, towels, take a shower before, after, you know, all that. But it's because I've noticed that a lot of women need massages.
But all the massage therapists in Portland are, you know, majority men. We don't want to dance for men and then go get a massage by a man. Interesting. That makes sense too, that their intent is not always good.
[00:37:58] Speaker A: So especially if it's somebody that's patrons your club, you'd be like, oh. Because now you're gonna feel like you get to test.
[00:38:02] Speaker C: But I mean, girl, if you like that, no shade do you boo. But for the women who are just uncomfortable with men doing that for them. I wanted to provide that service for, you know, the strippers. And then my second one was a taxi service.
[00:38:19] Speaker A: Oh.
[00:38:20] Speaker C: Because I'm off at 1am right now because my club is under a probation period because it's a new owner.
So I get off at 1 and from 1:30am until like 8 in the morning, I'm available to take you home. Because a lot of women don't have, you know, strippers don't have cars.
[00:38:35] Speaker A: Right.
[00:38:35] Speaker C: And they gotta get a Lyft or Uber. And yeah, you know, most of the time your Uber driver is a man.
[00:38:41] Speaker A: Especially late at night.
[00:38:42] Speaker C: My mom got me a lift the other night because. Because my car needs a new alternator. So I'm out of her car right now.
But she got me a lift and it was a man. I get in, it smells good, it's clean, he's cool.
But then along the ride, I'm noticing this man's swerving. He's almost missed my exit. And then when I hollered out, hey, you finna miss my exit? He's going to get over in a fucking truck. So you didn't even look to see if your lane was clear? Oh, almost hit the truck. You know, he got me home. But at what cost, right? Like that's scary.
[00:39:15] Speaker B: So it sounds like you're really interested in ways to provide safer as well as rehabilitation services for the industry, which you are specifically. Which I like, because Absolutely. It's not, first of all, it's not happening. There is nothing for that, for the woman who is getting off at a really odd hour.
And then also I noticed that at that hour, depending on where you live, there's also fewer drivers even available.
Many times I've flown in and I touched down at 1am Right, trying to find a Lyft or an Uber. Even at the airport can be sparse. And so imagine you're just sort of out in the numbers, right? And people aren't up. Now if we're in a bigger city, like, you know, your Chicago's, New York, Atlanta's, those are 24 hour cities. But the. This is not necessarily a true 24 hour city.
[00:40:05] Speaker A: Not at all.
[00:40:06] Speaker B: So I like that. I think you actually would be able to make some pretty good money because it's an untapped market altogether for both. Both angles.
[00:40:14] Speaker C: I love that.
[00:40:16] Speaker A: What is the craziest thing that you witnessed in the club?
[00:40:19] Speaker C: Witnessed?
Damn, that's.
I feel like that's hard.
It's been a little petty okay, so witnessed the little squabble.
[00:40:31] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:40:32] Speaker C: I'm on main girls, you know, at the bar, pooping and hollering. Homegirls. One of my homegirls, Love you, girl. You did your thing.
But you know, they fighting. And you know, the guys was like, oh, that's my baby mom. And he's like, control your bitch. And you know they got the squabble.
[00:40:47] Speaker A: Oh, shit.
[00:40:47] Speaker C: But then my homegirl. The bars over here on my main stage. My homegirl climbs over the stage, past me to get to this girl and whooped her ass.
It's beautiful.
[00:41:00] Speaker A: Front row, get a bitch. I had front row getter.
[00:41:03] Speaker C: I was loving it. So it was amazing for myself.
It was a couple years ago.
I'm working at Casa Diablo.
I'm on my, like, the ending of my first song, beginning of my second.
My older brother and his wife walks.
[00:41:23] Speaker B: And do they know that you do this?
[00:41:25] Speaker C: Yes.
[00:41:26] Speaker B: Okay. They know.
[00:41:27] Speaker C: So they're not that shocked. This is what makes me mad.
I'm naked.
This man sits down, sends his wife to the bar.
He sits down and he watches me, smiles at me.
[00:41:42] Speaker A: What?
[00:41:43] Speaker B: Yo, bro, fix your face.
[00:41:45] Speaker C: I had to finish my stage set. I'm sitting there listening. I'm just sitting there waiting for it to be over. Because inside I'm shaking. I want to.
I want to. I don't know what I want to do. I get off stage, go in the dressing room, have a complete panic attack. Why would you do that?
You see your little sister on stage.
A normal person's reaction is to immediately walk out, immediately leave.
[00:42:12] Speaker B: Do you guys have, like, a jokey relationship?
[00:42:14] Speaker C: No, we don't. We don't have a relationship at all. No, we don't. We don't have a close relationship. We've tried. He's done very fucked up shit in the past.
[00:42:22] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:42:22] Speaker C: And I just keep my distance from him because he's very weird, clearly.
[00:42:26] Speaker A: Because I was about to ask, like, wouldn't you just walk away?
[00:42:28] Speaker C: Like, that's what I'm saying to my sis.
[00:42:32] Speaker B: That would be my brother.
[00:42:33] Speaker A: Like, did he tip you in this? No, bro.
[00:42:36] Speaker B: I hope not.
[00:42:37] Speaker C: I do not want my brother's money.
[00:42:39] Speaker A: But you can sit there like a weirdo.
That is creepy inspired.
[00:42:43] Speaker C: So I had a panic attack. Oh, my gosh. I called my daddy. Cause that's who we share a father with. Is my dad.
[00:42:47] Speaker A: Okay?
[00:42:48] Speaker C: My dad and my stepmom came and got me. I'm having. I can't stop crying. I'm hyperventilating. He tried to get there before he could Leave. Oh, the owner comes in the dressing room.
Well, if I knew you were leaving, I would have told him to stay, first of all.
Wow, okay.
Anyways.
[00:43:06] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:43:07] Speaker C: But then he goes, yeah, he told me that he knows why he's being kicked out, but if he can get a refund on his drinks.
[00:43:15] Speaker A: What?
[00:43:16] Speaker C: Yo, that is the craziest thing that's happened to me. My 12 years of stripping, that. It stays on my mind.
[00:43:22] Speaker B: That's just weird behavior.
[00:43:25] Speaker C: It was very creepy.
I don't even know. Like, I hate talking about it to my day, but it's like you have to talk about it. Cuz if you don't talk about it, it'll, you know, you'll bottle it up and.
[00:43:35] Speaker A: Right.
[00:43:35] Speaker B: See, I thought you were gonna say, like the men that we interviewed, they were talking about how one time hair caught on fire. Hair caught on fire. He said he lifted this one girl up to do one of these, only he tossed her over.
[00:43:49] Speaker A: Okay, get the girl that bit the.
[00:43:51] Speaker B: Dick, the girl that bit the dick, all that stuff.
[00:43:53] Speaker C: I was like, yeah, see, I ain't seen nothing like that.
[00:43:57] Speaker A: Okay, so I do have a question though, because I've seen some weird stuff happen at one of the clubs that you have mentioned that's downtown, it's popular. There was this girl that used to walk around the dildo and she would sit the dildo on the guy's lap and then she would bounce on it, like while she's dancing. I was like, I feel like that's might maybe against the words a little bit. It was.
[00:44:18] Speaker C: I don't know. I don't know.
[00:44:20] Speaker B: That's where I met.
[00:44:23] Speaker C: That type of stuff happens at casa. That's a normal at costume.
[00:44:27] Speaker A: Is it?
[00:44:27] Speaker C: It is. One of my favorite dancers, jc, Shout out to you, baby.
Love her. She has a toolbox. Really? A toolbox. You know, little different dildos. And then every once in a while. It's a bucket.
[00:44:41] Speaker B: It's a bucket of vibrators.
[00:44:43] Speaker A: It's a basket. It was nicely crafted from Funkin Michaels and it's beautiful. Okay, options.
[00:44:51] Speaker B: But she's worried about her kids listening to the show. Mom, where's your basket?
[00:44:56] Speaker A: No, listen, when my son was. When my youngest one was like, maybe one. And he was like walking, honking, and he was like.
[00:45:04] Speaker C: I was like, no.
[00:45:09] Speaker B: I don't want that for you.
[00:45:10] Speaker A: I never. Oh, God, never again. That's why I push it really far under my bed. You know what I'm saying?
They know not to touch my basket.
[00:45:18] Speaker C: Now.
[00:45:19] Speaker A: That's my mom's Basket. Oh, my God. But anyways, I'm sorry. So the girl, the toolbox.
[00:45:24] Speaker C: Yes. She, you know, carries on a little something that she'll have a little vibrator like that, and unsuspectingly, we'll walk past a man. And that's how she makes her money.
[00:45:34] Speaker A: It.
[00:45:35] Speaker C: It. It intrigues them, you know, and makes it fun.
[00:45:37] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:45:38] Speaker C: So that's part of her personality.
[00:45:41] Speaker B: Makes it fun.
[00:45:42] Speaker A: I can imagine that.
I got to go see her. Okay. And she said, like, really?
Oh, I can do that too. I don't know if you can see through my shirt, but, you know, I can. I practice that in the mirror.
[00:45:56] Speaker C: Like, I love her. She's my baby.
I'm have to go see her now.
[00:46:00] Speaker A: I love it. She's at cd.
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
[00:46:04] Speaker B: Oh, but wait. Okay, so what's the deal with that one? Because they only take $2 bills, right?
Listen, I found two fat envelopes of $2 bills equating over $100 in my aunt's room.
[00:46:19] Speaker A: Oh, wasn't she.
[00:46:22] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:46:22] Speaker A: Okay, that makes that tracks.
[00:46:24] Speaker C: I was like, let me find out after she passed.
[00:46:27] Speaker A: Yeah. Oh, she found. Oh, you're dead. Aunt was going ham in the club.
[00:46:31] Speaker C: Maybe.
[00:46:32] Speaker A: I love it.
[00:46:32] Speaker C: Maybe.
[00:46:33] Speaker A: Do you. Okay. Do you find that women or men tip more?
[00:46:37] Speaker C: M. That's a good.
I'm say it's 50.
[00:46:41] Speaker A: 50. Really? Okay.
[00:46:42] Speaker C: Because I'm a trick.
I'm making it rain.
I'm making it rain.
I find a girl I like. Yeah, baby, you making a bag tonight. So I'm gonna say it's 50. 50. Men, you know, make it rain. They show love. And women also. But we don't. Like when the women are overly loud and they feel like they're a woman. You can touch me. I've cussed out a few at the club.
Like, you not finna smack me as hard as you can on the ass just cause you're a woman? Oh, baby, I will fight you right here on this stage. And I promise you, all these women.
[00:47:16] Speaker B: Give me more problems because I beat.
[00:47:18] Speaker C: Y' all ass on this stage.
[00:47:19] Speaker B: So that is what I need.
[00:47:22] Speaker A: Oh, my gosh. I am loving this conversation. I'm like. I feel like. I feel like at some point we need to have you come back and do, like, little lessons. I need to learn something.
[00:47:32] Speaker B: I got a transfer pole we can practice on.
[00:47:34] Speaker A: You do?
[00:47:35] Speaker C: Yes.
[00:47:36] Speaker A: Her mama's got a little pole in her room. It's for medical purposes, but I absolutely was like, mama's up in there twerking it, you know? While she pretend to be bitter. You know what I'm saying?
[00:47:45] Speaker C: She's like.
[00:47:47] Speaker A: She's there like a move that is like your favorite move. It's like your signature.
[00:47:55] Speaker C: I don't think. Well, no, I don't think I have. I just do just like, I just.
[00:48:01] Speaker A: Do it, I guess.
[00:48:01] Speaker B: Are you able to do like partner pole dances too? Like you have a surfboard on a girl?
[00:48:06] Speaker C: Yeah, a girl has surfboarded on me. Yeah. When I went to Phoenix the last time, me and my best friend did doubles at jags.
[00:48:15] Speaker B: And so for that, like, do you just have to have really strong thigh muscles to grip? Cause you're like laid kind of straight.
[00:48:20] Speaker C: You just got to squeeze. Yeah, just squeeze.
[00:48:23] Speaker A: Do you get bruised from.
[00:48:24] Speaker C: Not anymore.
[00:48:25] Speaker A: Not anymore. Okay. That's like a beginner to it. Ooh.
[00:48:27] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:48:27] Speaker B: How do you not fall off your heels? Cuz I be falling off my sneakers.
[00:48:32] Speaker C: Those things are so tall.
[00:48:33] Speaker A: No, they're so comfy.
[00:48:34] Speaker C: It's because the platform is almost as tall as the hill, so it's like wearing tennis shoes. I wear eight inches, so, yeah, eight inches. Home girl wears nine with her crazy ass. Oh, my gosh.
[00:48:46] Speaker B: Was it hard to get used to at first or was it just real natural?
[00:48:51] Speaker C: Sheesh.
[00:48:52] Speaker B: Yeah, I would have broke my ankles just falling off. Like I said, I fall off sneakers.
[00:48:55] Speaker C: So.
[00:48:56] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[00:48:57] Speaker A: No, that's not good. I. Okay, so last. I think it might be the last question, but are there things that are like, fundamental basics that girls do to earn money? Like, I don't like the. The heel clapping.
[00:49:08] Speaker B: I love the sound of that, by the way.
[00:49:09] Speaker A: It's like, it's like the attention. It's like, oh, here's a dollar.
[00:49:14] Speaker C: You just got to be loud. You got to be okay different on stage. You just got to do your own thing up there. Like, you can't go up there and do what the last girl did. We already seen that girl do something different.
Like at the club I'm at now, a lot of girls don't do it, but we have a bar that's above the rack.
[00:49:30] Speaker A: Mm.
[00:49:30] Speaker C: So I'll get up there and I'll do pull ups. Mothers be like, yeah.
[00:49:35] Speaker B: Okay, so my last question. My last question is, is there. Is there stuff that anyone does that impresses you? Because I'm always impressed when I see Usher's performance and he has the girls on stage stage with him. And then also I've seen some things that, like KOD and you know, different places like that.
Are you impressed by anything you've Seen or is everything like. Yeah, I've seen that.
[00:49:58] Speaker C: If I can do it, I'm not impressed.
If you can do something that I can't do, girl, teach me.
I'm gonna study you and I'm gonna practice on my own time. But if I've seen it, it's not really. Yeah, yeah. I don't know.
[00:50:11] Speaker A: Okay, okay, I know I said last question, but, but so like movies like Players Club, the shows like P Valley and all that, like, how realistic are those for people who don't know I'm gonna be real?
[00:50:23] Speaker C: I ain't never watched P Valley's Shut the Front.
[00:50:25] Speaker A: She's like, I see this in real life, so I ain't gotta watch this shit.
[00:50:29] Speaker C: I just hate the unrealistic money throwing. Maybe it's real down south, but it's not a reality for Portland.
[00:50:36] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:50:36] Speaker C: Unless you're at Rouge or Spice Gotcha, where they have actual celebrities and the NBA goes in there and all that stuff. So they have that. Okay, but in southeast clubs, in the northeast clubs, we don't have that because nobody wants to drive all the way out there. When people come into town, they going.
[00:50:54] Speaker A: To stay down downtown. That makes sense.
[00:50:58] Speaker C: Players Club.
[00:51:02] Speaker A: Nah. She's like, nah.
[00:51:04] Speaker B: Okay, so my for real, last question. My for real last question then.
[00:51:06] Speaker C: I feel like exotica was play as club type facts.
[00:51:09] Speaker A: That's. I can, I can, I can vouch for that.
[00:51:11] Speaker C: But yeah.
[00:51:13] Speaker B: How much do you have to invest in your body as far as maybe going to the gym or any of those things to keep your body in really good shape? Not just for appearance, but also for the strength to do different things?
[00:51:27] Speaker C: I don't go to the gym.
[00:51:28] Speaker B: You don't go to the gym at all?
[00:51:29] Speaker A: She's like, I'm the bad example, right?
[00:51:30] Speaker B: No, because I just like, like when I say I can really respect dancers that really put on a show, they're not just kind of standing and walking around really doing different tricks and stuff. I'm like, that takes a lot of abduct. I ain't got no abs. Like, it takes a lot. So I'm like, you know, do you have to go to the gym? You know, do a lot of curls and stuff just to keep right.
[00:51:51] Speaker C: I'm just say, it's just my 12 years of doing the same thing.
[00:51:54] Speaker A: She's like, you work out every day.
[00:51:56] Speaker C: I maintain the ability to do what I do.
[00:51:59] Speaker A: Got you.
[00:52:00] Speaker C: So I feel like the only time I'm strained is when I'm doing something new or doing a trick. I haven't Done in a long time, and my body has to, like, relearn it. Other than that, I'm.
[00:52:11] Speaker A: And I'm assuming you have a pole in your house that you can practice. You don't. Okay, so you literally practice, practice.
[00:52:15] Speaker B: Listen, her child would know for sure.
[00:52:18] Speaker C: Well, okay, so here's the thing. I did have a pole at first.
[00:52:20] Speaker B: But he was young, and then he was.
[00:52:22] Speaker C: He started to climb on it. Oh, God.
[00:52:24] Speaker A: And do things.
[00:52:25] Speaker C: Look what I can do. And then what I hated was my baby. Dad's other baby mom had a pole too. And he would dance on it, and then he would call me. Why is my son. You have a pole, too. So why are you asking me?
[00:52:37] Speaker A: Why are you mad at me?
[00:52:39] Speaker C: Oh, my God. Let's be for real.
[00:52:41] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:52:41] Speaker C: In this moment right now, sir, let's not do that.
So, yeah, he's. He. I have had a pole, of course.
[00:52:47] Speaker A: Okay. But you do most of your practice in that work and whatever. Okay. Yes, I do. Most famous person that you've danced for?
[00:52:52] Speaker C: Nobody, really?
[00:52:55] Speaker B: Is that part of an NDA that you're telling?
[00:52:57] Speaker C: No, no, no, no, no. Absolutely not. I would be like, Well, I did sign. You know, I was. But I've never.
[00:53:02] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:53:03] Speaker C: I've never met a celebrity.
No, but. And, girl, we can fix that.
[00:53:08] Speaker A: I was.
[00:53:08] Speaker B: Throw her handle out.
[00:53:09] Speaker A: I got you.
[00:53:11] Speaker C: But. But I feel like it's because my Instagram is shadow banned.
[00:53:15] Speaker A: Oh.
[00:53:16] Speaker C: I have too many.
I've posted too many explicit things or whatever. The arm bra, you can't post. The arm bra, you can't post, like, what gets through.
[00:53:26] Speaker A: But then certain people, I think I.
[00:53:28] Speaker C: Posted, come pay me on one of my stories. You can't solicit money, so I. I have too many restricts. I can't go live for a year. Oh, I can't. Yeah. So I'm severely shadow banned on Instagram.
[00:53:41] Speaker B: Wow.
[00:53:41] Speaker A: So, yeah, I was like, well, what's your.
[00:53:44] Speaker C: Nobody.
[00:53:44] Speaker A: No celebrities yet. So how can people find you?
[00:53:50] Speaker B: Where can they be?
[00:53:51] Speaker C: You literally have to put my entire Instagram name.
[00:53:54] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:53:55] Speaker C: Queen China with a Y and an underscore at the end in order to find me.
[00:53:59] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:53:59] Speaker C: And then my picture is not me, it's a cartoon.
So. Gotcha.
[00:54:05] Speaker A: Okay, well, if people did want to come see you dance or any of those things, how can they find you if you want them to find.
[00:54:12] Speaker C: Instagram is the main source. That's where I post my schedule. Like I said, Queen China with a Y underscore.
[00:54:19] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:54:19] Speaker C: And then I work at AJ's Gentleman's Club, which is new.
