Strippers and Porn Stars: Working Hard to Put Bread on the Table
Recessions hurt everyone. No one is shielded from the blows of economic downfall. And guess what? Even the best of exotic dancers and porn stars are hit hard.
When times are low and CEOS are being dropped left and right, even the big spendas find themselves zipping up their wallets. No more lap dances and champagne popping for the high-roller. New York City's exotic dancers are suffering worst of all, especially with Wall Street so close to home. So what exactly happens to the feisty, flesh revealing seducers of classy joints? That's easy. Their tips drop faster than the Dow and Puff Daddy's "All About the Benjamins" got remade into "All About the Georgies." They're lucky if on a good night they make seventy-five bucks total. You know we've definitely entered a deep recession when not even the most infamous of playboys can spare enough bills to decorate a G-string.
And what about those poor porn stars? Apparently, they too are not recession-proof. In an already congested industry, adult filmmakers have been struggling as of late. DVD sales have recently plummeted and rentals have steadily decreased.
Guess the saying "sex sells" just look in the mirror and questioned it's own existence.
What do you make of this? Do you think it's funny or does it actually worry you that the economy is so bad that even sex, booze, and clubbing are taking a severe nose dive as stocks continue to plummet?
