Stripper Shoes for kids....

Well, not really a shoe, but a phone. Not exactly what I would want my daughter talking on....but I want one!
What is really funny is the website says "childhood dreams delivered"
Awesome.

In their defense, it is supposed to be a disco shoe and it does resemble a disco shoe more than a stripper shoe. Still, the picture of the little girl is priceless. It is currently on back order. Hmmm ...wonder why?
Maybe its because of Wendy's review.
....she gave it 5 out of 5 stars


Just like my work shoes!

Arrested for pole dancing in the subway....F-yeah!

I just read this story and went, you go girl...kinda. I mean I respect the message that she is sending....but why didn't she take the tips!?!?
...Kidding!!
I don't know if this was the best way to go about it, but I certainly respect her message and kudos to her for getting the press to bring it to light...that is where it all starts.
Good luck goddess!





By Pav Jordan

SANTIAGO (Reuters) - A stripper who danced on the poles of Santiago subway trains to challenge the prudishness of Chilean society was arrested on Thursday during one of her lightning performances.

Monserrat Morilles, 26, surprised subway riders all week stripping to skimpy underwear, but she refused tips.

She said she was protesting a lack of tolerance in Chile, one of Latin America's most conservative societies where the first generation since the Pinochet dictatorship is reaching adulthood.

"This is just a beginning. We are starting an idea here that will grow and be developed further," she told Reuters as police and subway guards surrounded her.

The professional pole dancer worked quickly all week to avoid arrest, getting on at one station, finding a subway car with no children on it and stripping in time to exit at the next station.

Chilean media dubbed her "La Diosa del Metro" or Subway Goddess. She called her performances "happy minutes."

"Chile is still a pretty timid country," said her manager Gustavo Pradenas. "People aren't very extroverted and we want to take aim at that and make Chile a happier country."

Victoria's Secret...burning bras!!!

Well, not in the I'm a hippie liberating my boobs way, but in the oh my god my breast is on fire with pain and kumquat sized welts kinda way. Youch!
So it seems they had some formaldehyde laden bras that scarred the boobs of miss Ritter and a dozen other gals. At the time of the article the two products in question were still on the selves. But I did a search and couldn't find either...hmmmmm.
Again, as I have said before, if anyone is suing them it should be for their make-me-wanna-rip-my-eyes-out-cuz-I-look-so-horrid dressing rooms.

Here's the article from ABC news.
http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/story?id=6225503&page=1

Holy cow! Strip club gets sued by American Idol.. Really?

This place, Palazio, is the sister club of the club I worked for in TX. I knew the owners and I still know girls who work there. It is also where we go on our field trip. Sooo funny. They are getting sued because they are running a weekly amateur contest called stripper idol.
Does AI not have anything better to do with their time?
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/01/14/national/main4720812.shtml?source=RSSattr=HOME_4720812

This article was pretty funny too
http://www.quickdfw.com/sharedcontent/dws/news/localnews/stories/011209dntswidolsuit.1b7075f9.html

It's been a while

Well... I've been busy!
I've been wanting to post and tell you so many things!
But I'll start with this. I recently ...well, 2 months ago, had a lady contact me. She wanted to take weekly classes to learn how to be an exotic dancer. My first reaction was please let me discourage you. The business will take so much out of you. It will make you hate yourself. Don't do it! I get a lot of calls .. girls wanting to dance. I tell them the truth, what it did to me. How all of the girls I know who are retired feel the same way. Also, we don't teach aspiring dancers. It is a different skill set, different moves. Our clients are dancing for their loved ones so they can touch, they don't have to have a fake name, they don't need to know how to sell how to figure out what the client likes in order to sell more. Its much easier!
Anyway, she got very upset. She said she was a former cop , she was writing a book, which she said she wasn't even supposed to tell me about, she said she had been violated before, that she hated men, that she wanted to get back at them by writing this expose. I tried to tell her that if she hated men that business was going chew her up and spit her out. I begged ...please try to find another way. She said if I didn't teach her she was going to write a bad review on citysearch. I said, fine, I'm not concerned about that. I want you to understand what you could be getting your self into. We continued to talk for over an hour. She said she didn't want to study with us because I had discouraged her. I said I was sorry, but it was what I believed and if she was really serious that she should contact us and at least we could give her some pointers so that she could get in and out with the least damage possible. And that even if she didn't choose to take classes that if she decided to dance and ever needed a friendly ear that I would be there for her.
So today I see this
http://austin.citysearch.com/review/45829650/3767301

Wow.
So I wrote this
http://austin.citysearch.com/review/45829650/4088253
I was so angry at first ...then just crushed. I am trying so hard to do something good. To take a bad experience and do something good with it. Something positive.

I guess you can't please them all. I once had a student write this.


I loved EVERYTHING about the class. I originally signed up for the class as an alternative to working out in the gym, and of course, learn how to move. I loved the idea that the classes would be taught by a former exotic dancer. Hey, learn from a true professional instead of wannabes. Having not worked out in 6 years, I was apprehensive about taking the Desire 1A workshop (I was afraid it would be one of those cold, robotic gym environments). I was proven wrong in so many ways. I was given more than I bargained for, which was fabulous. I had an instructor that worked out/danced with the rest of the students (rather than stand on the side and dictate what to do), the classes were set in a super-relaxed atmosphere, no judgments, individual attention was given to each one us, easy-going pace, and sooooo amazingly fun. I am forever grateful for the fact that the workshop gave me so much more than I asked for. I was able to look in the mirror and not judge myself on how fat I was, how short my legs looked, how my gut was hanging out, etc. I was able to look at myself and feel more feminine, sexy, empowered, and more comfortable with my body. I can never fully describe what this workshop has given me or done for me. I loved every minute. I loved every part. I loved everything. I found my niche workout and place for me and am definitely sticking with StripXpertease. My first stop was Desire 1A workshop. My next stops are Desire 1B and Stripper Strength. -Carrie L. Desire I Series NYC

That's why I do it...I hope that that lady didn't end up going to the club. I have a feeling she didn't , because if she did, she would have understood what I was saying.
Yeah, no, I'm sure of it. So there ya go. Maybe my words worked after all.

NEWSLETTER: October 08

October 2008
Hello ladies,I recently read an article that mentioned a link to increasing mental health issues due to the economic stresses of our ever down-sliding economy. My first reaction was, "No s#*t." Of course we are all a little more stressed. And although we are not all going to lose our marbles, this uneasiness is definitely touching everyone. So what do we do? Well, first, we all breathe. One collective in through the nose, out through the mouth. Next we remind ourselves that things could be worse. And then we start taking care of our bodies and minds. It is a fact that stress and poor emotional health can weaken our body's immune system.I too am feeling these stresses and have been trying like crazy to get myself back to yoga. Now is the time to really take care of ourselves. Our bodies are our temples and ladies, if we are unhealthy and sick then we surely can't take care of our families and our loved ones. Sick does not equal sexy! So now more than ever is the time to do something for yourself. Our punch card classes are priced at $20 per drop in class, and until the end of October your first Sexy Steps or Kama Sutra Kardio class is free. In these classes you'll hear great music (stress-buster), meet new gal-pals (stress-buster), definitely have a few laughs (stress-buster), move your body (yep, stress-buster!) and get to wear those crazy stripper shoes (See the article below for reasons to buy.) You can't beat that! Stress free AND easy on the budget. So whether it is with us, your local gym, or simply foot to pavement, get out there and get moving. Take care of yourself and don't forget to just breathe. :)

Stripper Heels Can Go With ANY Costume.
Seriously, they can. Wicked witch, stripper heels. Little Bo Peep, stripper heels. French maid, stripper heels. Pirate, stripper boots. Nurse, red stripper heels...you get the picture. So this is the perfect time to go for it. You now have a REAL reason to make that risque purchase. So get your stripper heels and then build your costume around it.Halloween is the one time of the year that everyone can access their inner stripper, with no shame, timidness, or shyness. So I double-dog dare you to put on that sexy outfit and strut your stuff. And there is an outfit for everyone, and every body related excuse.Find showing off your legs a bit too spooky? Then try Dark Angel. Fishnets can cover up every imperfection, and knee high boots can keep you warm too. Corsets are also great at cinching in your waist after too much candy corn. Want to wear something sexy, but feel like your bootie is a bit ghoulish? Then try this sexy Mafia Mamma costume. This is a great one for breaking the sexy barrier, but not going overboard. Speaking of overboard, a pirate costume like Buccaneer Fantasy is great for going sexy and only revealing a bit of skin on your shoulders and legs. Adding tights and boyshorts will give even more coverage.If fact, there are a ton of hot costumes that let you reveal your sexy side with just a bit of skin. Check these out:Marine OfficerSpiderellaZorro (You can even hide your true identity with this one!)So there you go, plenty of ideas. Let this Halloween be your first step in becoming a little bolder, braver, and more confident. And when you feel sexy, trust me ladies, you will LOOK sexy.Just don't forget the stripper heels! And when Halloween is over, throw those heels in your bag and get your sexy butt to class!

I'm Gonna Punch You!
Introducing the new StripXpertease punch card! I'm so excited about the new NYC punch cards. Mainly because now you have FIVE NYC classes each week to use your punch card at! Two Stripper Strength classes, Sexy Steps, and our two new classes, Kama Sutra Kardio and the Desire Series. The punch cards are a great way to tailor classes to fit your schedule. All punch card classes are run on a drop-in basis which means you can miss classes or come every week and still develop your skills! That also means no need to pre-register, just show up! So come move your hips, toss your hair, and shake your bootie with these new super fun classes. Oh, and did I mention there are several fr*ee classes this month!
You may use your puch card at any of the following classes at any time:
KAMA SUTRA KARDIO: Learn how to pull off the "Congress of a Cow" and "Tail of an Ostrich" in this class. Tap into a whole new kind of sexy with this spicy mix of east and west eroticism that's sure to get your heart pumping. Playful, fun, and sensual, this class is good for body, mind, and soul. Bare feet or thin soled sneakers/dance shoes. Your first KSK class is FR*EE.
DESIRE SERIES: Yep, it's back, and now it's better than ever in drop-in class format. Each striptease class focuses on a different move/routine. Basics like the Robert and Lotion will be fine-tuned as you learn new moves, tips, and tricks to rock out your own routine at home. Heels are mandatory.

STRIPPER STRENGTH: Be prepared to sweat your ass off..literally, in this fun and sexy work out class. Get flexible, strong, and sexy all in one class.

Hello ladies,

Well, it's that time again. Back to school! What better time to rock out the naughty school girl or school teacher routine? This was always a favorite in the club. Here is what you need:

BOTTOMS: For SG: A plaid skirt, the shorter the better. And don't be afraid to use the scissors. For ST: Any skirt will do. Thigh highs with a line at the back are super sexy too!
TOP: For SG: A button up shirt tied at the waist or even a sexy wife beater can work. For ST: A button up is key and a sexy blazer can complete the look. Also check out some great pre-made SG/ST outfits here and here too.
HAIR: For SG: In pigtails or a ponytail. Just not too tight so you can let it down during your dance. For ST: a sexy loose bun held with a pencil.
ACCESSORIES: Of course the stripper shoes and a matching bra and thong are a necessity. A tie can work great for either character. For SG: A lollypop is great. For ST: A ruler or glasses do well.
MUSIC: A back-to-school music theme is the icing on the cake. Think soundtracks of high school films like Dazed and Confused or Breakfast Club. There are also songs like hot for the teacher, rock n roll high school, don't stand too close, and many others.
Then come see us for a perfectly choreographed routine and you'll be sure to get an A+ from your honey...or perhaps you'll be sent to the principal's office. Hmmmm.

Stripper Strength News...

So we have good news and bad news.

Bad news first. Due to a policy change at the studio we rent from on Tues nights, we will have to permanently cancel the Tues night Stripper Strength class in NYC. I know, I know. We tried to get them to make an exception, but they wouldn't budge. We are now moving the class to Monday nights from 6:10-7:20 pm at Ripley Grier Studios, one block up the street.

So good news is, if you haven't been able to come on Tues, now you can come get strong and sexy on Mondays. What better way to banish the Monday blues? Also our first Monday night class will be fr*ee! Yippee!

Sexy Steps will stay on it's current night but will change locations to Ripley Grier as well. Also, Sexy Steps has changed it's format. We now have sultry routines in the Pussycat Doll style of dance. So come tone and tighten your body and learn a hot routine that you can show off after class. And...drum roll please....the first class fr*ee policy is back for Sexy Steps. So you have no excuse to not show up! And this even applies to those who have previously taken the class! This is a limited offer so get your bootie to class ASAP!

And Texas gals, I even got something for you. If you have been dying to check out a Stripper Strength class but haven't had the opportunity, we have a fr*ee class coming up for you too! The class will be Aug 25th, Monday, 7:00-8:10pm. This fr*ee class is only open to new Stripper Strength students (this means you have never taken a Stripper Strength class).

Remember, all classes sell out at 10-12 girls so come early to ensure your spot. And don't forget your heels!

That damn apple ...part two

( This article begins in our August newsletter and is continued here)

Some of you might remember my thoughts from the article Will That Damn Apple Haunt Us Forever?. I experienced a similar situation recently. I debated whether or not to include this story in the newsletter, not wanting to offend those involved or come off the wrong way, but I said eh, screw it, and went for it anyway. There is a company, who I shall not name because to be honest they have been very good to us in the past, and I genuinely believe they are good people. This company basically helps students find instructors of all kinds, from guitar to salsa. They provide profiles for the instructors and when a prospective student chooses to contact an instructor, the company sends the instructor all the info about that student and then charges that instructor for the lead, usually between 4-7 bucks. Anyway, I have been using these guys for a couple of years. They started small and have been very upfront with their clients in their process of running the site and learning from their mistakes. Everything they did had such a personal touch. I had even had drinks with them here in NY.

However, last week I received this email from them.

Hello Kimberly,
I am writing you today to let you know about changes here at *****.com.
First, I wanted to thank you for your membership. You are respected and appreciated. You have been with us for a long time and we are sad to inform you of these necessary changes. Recently, our company signed distribution partnerships with ABC Family, Active.com Family, and Disney. In the course of these agreements, we have been asked to more properly align ourselves with a family-friendly atmosphere. Unfortunately, as of Monday, we will no longer be supporting lead generation for exotic and pole dance classes. In a perfect world, we would be able to list all types of services, but in reality, we will not be able to.
I truly believe that the services you provide are of great benefit to women and their confidence, and applaud you for running a wonderful business.
On behalf of the entire **** team, we want to personally thank you for your patronage since you've been a member, and we sincerely hope your business continues to flourish.

I wrote back, very angry...

First, let me say that I realize my thoughts, being one of thousands your company has touched, are trivial. But the subject matter is not trivial to me. It has spearheaded my company and my passion, so I absolutely feel the need to simply share my thoughts. I also want to say that I admire you all for creating a business and going through the trials and tribulations so openly with your clients and for always making your clients feel special and valued. However, that being said, I am outraged.
My disappointment in this news is indescribable, especially since I have been using your site for years, through changes in site, and even name. Time and time again, I have been either pushed away, kicked out, or shunned for what we teach. For some reason our classes that teach women how to feel comfortable with their bodies and their curves, to look in the mirror and not feel fat or not beautiful enough are not OK. But other classes are. Ballet, which leads almost every girl it touches to battle with her body image and turn to anorexia...that is wholesome? Who decides what is good and what is not? ABC family? A company that still reeks of parochial Christian bigotry from its previous owners?
Granted, these classes may not be appropriate for an 8 year old girl, but does that mean they are bad, or vulgar? I mean, I get it, I do. I know we walk a fine line. But it just grates my nerves that once again we take a step back. Once again, we are classified as smut instead of empowerment.
I wholeheartedly believe that until our society opens itself up to the possibility that frank and open discussion with our families about sexuality and body acceptance (ie there is nothing wrong with touching and appreciating our bodies) can be beneficial to our families, then we will continue to live in a world where the fear and shame that surrounds this subject perpetuates eating disorders, sexual disorders, and sexual assault on said families. And it is, better yet was, people like you who stood up for people like us that helped to make this an accepted and positive form of movement and expression. And I'm saddened and deeply hurt to see

...CONTINUED FROM THE NEWSLETTER...

that you have changed your views.

From the article on your site about strip tease classes by J*** ***: Across the country, instructors listed with **** have seen their class sizes grow over the last year; all those contacted share philosophies of positive reinforcement, openness to all body types, and policies against teaching stripping to enter the sex industry.
http://www.stripxpertease.com/2007/01/will-that-damn-apple-haunt-us-forever.html

So then they wrote back....

Hi Kimberly,

I understand where you are coming from and I appreciate you as a person and as client. You’ve been with us for a long time and I appreciate your openness and feedback. We are not classifying any particular instructor or type of dance as smut, it’s simply that there are more and more kids and their parents on the site. We ARE getting more and more 8 year old girls on the site. The parents are not looking for themselves – they are looking for their children, and thus, we cater to what the market is demanding. If mom wants to take exotic dance lessons, I think they should. I’ve actually encouraged **** to take some as well as I thought she’d like them.

While on a political and social level I agree with you, our business decisions are not made on social or political factors. At the end of the day, my job is to ensure the continued, long-term success of the enterprise, and the decisions are made from a capitalistic ideology. If the demand was such that we could have our entire site filled with just exotic dance teachers – and that format made us more money – then we would boot all the families off. But that’s not the case. So again, I wouldn’t take it personally. It has nothing to do with our personal, political, or societal views. It’s where we need to go in order to grow the business. If there’s anything I can personally help with, just let me know. I would be happy and honored to help any way I can. You are a rock star in my book and I will do what I can to support you.

Best,
*****

So what does this all mean? Well first, his letter made me feel like an asshole. They really have been nothing but nice to me, but dammit I just couldn't not speak my mind. So I wrote back once more.

Hey *****,

I am sorry for my hasty and very bitter response. While I understand you simply made a decision to further your business, and your decision to discontinue the leads wasn't based on your personal convictions, it deeply affects mine. As I mentioned, I get it. You gotta do what you gotta do. It's just something I battle with on a daily basis, and I have to shout out how I feel. Even if it falls on deaf ears or doesn't change the situation. I hope you understand. I really do wish you all the best of luck, And I although I loathe the company you have taken up with, I realize their pockets are deep. I hope that they can propel you to the success you all deserve for all of your hard work. Really. Either way it was nice working with you....best of luck.

Best wishes,

Kimberly

I needed to be nice, ya know? Part of me feels defeated, yet part of me doesn't. This just fuels the fire. This makes me realize I will have many more of these tiny battles. Many more situations just like this one. But each time I will learn something, each time will strengthen my convictions and each time will bring me closer to the last time. So the good fight goes on...And if I am being shunned by Pat Robertson's old company and people who are over the top excited about The secret life of the American teenager, then big deal. Women who want to make a change for the better, who want to freely explore their bodies and their sexuality in a positive and fulfilling way will find me with or with out ****.com.

NEWSLETTER: jul 08

Hello ladies,

So we're smack dab in the middle of summer. I always forget how hot it gets in the city until Summer is here. You forget until the sweat is dripping down your back only 30 seconds after walking out of your front door. And if there is one thing that this heat contributes to, it's anger. It seems so much easier to get hot under the collar when your collar is soaked with sweat. I myself got a little angry this month (see The Apple Returns below). But I have cooled off a little since then. Mainly because I know my long awaited and much needed vacation is right around the corner. This weekend I am heading out to Chicago for Lollapalooza. It will be 3 days of nothing but music and sun. And I am totally psyched. Perhaps I will come back with some great new music for class. Either way I will come back a little less hot under the collar and much more tan.
So the theme this month is cool off, relax, and don't sweat the little things. Take time for yourself and it will all work out in the end. And since you are already all sweaty, why not drop into Stripper Strength?

See ya in class,
xoxoxo

Reunion.com ....a follow up

So, remember when Reunion.com sent out that damn email to evvveryone in my address book. http://www.stripxpertease.com/2008/05/reunion-dot-com-omg.html Well, apparently I wasn't the only one!

http://www.walletpop.com/2008/07/12/reunion-com-lawsuit-may-be-on-the-horizon/

I hope they have to go out of business and file for bankruptcy...bastards..

80 yr old stripper ...Tempest storm...still stripping!

Wow, and I thought I was old when I retired in my late twenties. Gotta give her credit!

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25640691/

A fucking A...part one

I was booking flights the other day, and was reminded of the last adventure I had on a plane. Remember when American Airlines was cancelling hundreds of flights for like five days straight and all of those people were stranded. Well, I was one of them. I wrote to all of my friends to update them on the status of my flights and also because I was bored to tears...here are those emails with a little added commentary...in italics.

So this all started after a weekend at NASCAR on April 9th, Wednesday when I woke up in Austin after 2 hours of sleep, hung over as hell and needing to get up to catch my flight. Yeah right. (You see, I originally booked a flight departing at 5 pm, but 3 wks before I left AA moved my flight up to noon, which means I needed to get up at like 8:30. Problem was, I knew we would see the sun come up Tues night, so this was just all around already bad.) So from bed I call American to see if I can get on a later flight. Hold time was unusually long, but I was so out of it I really didn't notice. I finally get through after 38 minutes and after hearing the same message about using your reward miles to book tickets about 500 times (This is because I used miles to book this ticket so I had to call the miles number to get on a later flight.)

Now keep in mind, I had been camping out for four days and had only got back to Austin a mere 24 hrs ago. And during that entire 24 hrs. I had been back in A-town, I was running around with Saralynn getting ready for and then having the Free Spirit grand opening party. So I finally get through and tell the lady I am calling in reference to flight number 456. She says," ...oh , well I well have to transfer you." Splendid. Then I repeat myself to the new lady and she says yes, that flight has indeed been cancelled.

Wait? ....Cancelled?

I am just trying to fly out later. Why was it cancelled?

She says, "Do you not watch the news?"

I wanted to say something with several expletives, but instead I just say no, I haven't had the chance.

She explains that the FAA has been cancelling all of these flights. She puts me on a flight the next day, Thurs April 10th, and in my still somewhat drunken haze I take it and go back to sleep.

When I wake, many hours later at 11 am, I check out the news.

FUCK. This is bad. They are cancelling flights left and right. For shits and grins I look at my newly booked fight on the internet that is set to depart the next day, Thurs. at noon with a layover in like bum fuck Nebraska then on to LGA. Guess what? Nebraska to LGA, cancelled. SHIT! Last thing I want is to be stranded in Nebraska!

So I get on the horn to AA. I am on hold for, get this, 109 minutes before I get tired and hang up. It is now around 2 pm, so we say screw this lets meet up with my cousin and go get some drinks and tex mex at Trudy's.

At 6 pm, after many margaritas and chips, the calling begins again. It's me, Saralynn and my cousin. I have 2-3 minute calls that keep getting disconnected by American (the message just says please try later) for over an hour. This is verrrry bad. Around seven I actually get through to be put on hold. This time it is for 65 minutes before my phone drops the call. YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! It is now 8 pm, and I still don't have a flight home.

Thats me and Saralynn and my cousin on the couch..waiting on hold.

I try calling back and again the lines are so jammed AA wont even let the call connect.

I then send out this email...
AA has been cancelling flights since Tues afternoon. I am still in Texas.

1st flight 5:30 wed cancelled

rescheduled flight wed 12:30 cancelled

2nd rescheduled flight 12:30 THURS cancelled (found out on internet) and I do NOT have another flight scheduled because I cant get through to AA

http://ww2.wkyt.com/global/story.asp?s=8144633 or
http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2008/04/10/business/NA-FIN-US-American-Airlines-Cancellations.php
should have been home already..cant even get through to even be put on hold at all AA phone numbers for past 2 hours. When I got through earlier, hold was hours. ..used up 300 minutes today alone. They say this could go on through SATURDAY. How do you spell fucked?
A fucking A

I say to Saralynn, screw this, let's go downtown. I jump in the shower and at 9 start the process again. Again, call won't even connect. We head down town and bar hop while I have the earpiece in on hold, this time I'm in the 1.5 hr range when my battery dies. F'in awesome. I change batteries and try again. It is now 2:23 am. I get to the hold system and a lady answers after 8 minutes.

(thats me in a club on the phone)

"Thank you for calling American this is Lynn speaking."

"OH MY GOD!!!!!!!"

She laughs..I'm sure she has been hearing that all day. I am on the street corner in front of Pangea and she gets me on a new flight departing in 9 hrs. Sweet. We head home for sleep. I arrive at Austin Bergstrom Airport for my 11AM flight and all is golden. The lines for people trying to get on new flights are ridiculous....I over hear cursing and crying. People have lost luggage and there are several people who are having major problem because now AA isn't taking any pets.

As I wait, I check the board to see how many flight are getting cancelled. It is like every other flight...and lo and behold, mine has been delayed. Of course. OK, screw this, I say, I'm getting a massage. The little booth is right across form my gate so if there are any changes I can easily see them. So I mosey over to the massage booth and right as I do, the lady in the chair goes into cardiac arrest. Yeah, I'm serious. Man, there must be something the air. I quietly sit back down in front of the gate and watch the EMT team do their work.

My flight finally boards and I see they have put me in first class. F'in sweet! I mean the flight is only 45 minutes but this was my first time in first class. A girl can get used to this.

I arrive at Dallas in the early after noon and settle in for my FOUR hour layover.

...too be continued..

Follow up to Male Exotic Dancing...

So, I was recently asked...
Do you have any tips for guys on how they can take their clothes off and look great? Most guys will probably not want to do a striptease or will feel a little awkward. Any ideas on how they can strip down for their lover and still feel hot?

Here was my response...
I personally think men should leave this stuff alone. It just comes off cheesy. http://www.stripxpertease.com/2007/01/doing-striptease-if-you-are-guyaka-male.html For me it is sexier to ask her to do it. For instance he stands and says I want to strip for you but I'm gonna need your help. Will you please unbutton my shirt? ( buttons are better, more work for the prize!) Perhaps half way through he can kiss her with both hands on her face, very much in control. We woman like that right? A take charge kinda guy. That confidence you spoke of. He can ask her to go slower as well. Then he can ask her to take of his pants by unbuttoning, unzipping, whatever. Again, the please is important. Makes her have some sense of being needed, but yet not totally in control. Shoes should be already off...those things are just plain awkward. I also don't think he should ask her to use her teeth at any point. If she does, great, just don't ask. He should look into her eyes the whole time, sport a naughty hint of a smile, and remain standing. Again this gives him a position of control and confidence. When she has taken off everything, he can then do the same thing to her, by saying now its your turn and slowly undressing her, still gazing in her eyes. The let the hot sex begin!! This whole scene would totally work for me!
