Who loves scary stories?! But these are sexy scary stories… stories of ghosts, left over energy, whatever you call it, and all of them in strip clubs! We got stories from North Hollywood all the way down to New Orleans. A piano death story, feet seen dangling from dark rafters and complete experiences that involved more than one person! These haunted strip club ghost stories will give you chills for daaayzzzz! Boo! This episode is a compilation of stories with several guests including Tony Maurice, Oasis, Boo Boo Brian, and Kendra.

Well, well, well, we finally get to Vegas.  A meca for strippers and strip clubs.  Kristian is our guest and gives us the lowdown on what’s happening in Las Vegas and the games that are played there. Only these ones aren’t in the casinos.  Club owners and managers in Vegas are at the top of their game and they play dirty.  AM once a stripper in Vegas, years ago, corroborates what Kristian says is happening now, as she saw the beginnings of issues out there back in 2005.  The deal is, strippers are part of the life blood of that city and they deserve better.

Kayla and AM have worked together and known each other in their performer journey since 2007.  They basically grew up together and into their groove in their sex work journey.  These two met at Jumbo’s Clown Room but have continued to be friends and colleagues.  They reminisce on the old days, fill each other in on the current days and how Kayla has grown as a performer, producer, and activist.  Fresh after an all Asian Stripper Show she produced just the day before, Kayla reflects on what it’s like being a stripper representing the Asian community in a time where racial injustices are being talked about the most.

Lilly Moon was having another casual day at work.  One where she ate pizza on stage and was getting rained on by an adoring audience.  Little did she know that that moment caught on camera would go viral.  Lilly and AMD used to work together at Jumbo’s Clown Room and reunited to talk about the current times, the past times and what it means to be a viral stripper that loves pizza to the max.

Valerie Stunning lives up to her last name for sure. This babe is stunning in more ways that one.  Her smile, her energy and her drive to inform her community… a recipe for sparkles all around.  Valerie and AM talk about what they miss the most about stripping, as both were forced into early retirement for different reasons.  Valerie’s insight on the industry comes from an awakened point of view.  Being someone that pulled back the veil of Whorephobia, exposed to the reality of the patriarchy, she is someone we can all learn from.  And oh yeah, she makes white truffle ice cream and turns serving it into an experience.  I mean… that sounds so hawt!

Well, this is advice and a voice some of us wish we had access to about 20 years ago.  Oh, save all that money I made you mean?  Genius!  Selena aka @investorstripper goes into how to save, what to think about and how she got knows as the Investor Stripper.  Selena’s vibe is infectious, bubbly and bright!  She seems to find the silver lining in the tough situations.

Selena the Stripper returns as a guest with AMD to specifically talk about the celebrities that plague our industry.  For a while now, we have seen the obsession of sex workers by celebrities and we know that we inspire them.  However, these days, their obsession has turned sex work into an even more precarious field to navigate.  Selena and AM chat a little about FKA Twigs and hella about Bella.  Bella Thorne that is.  What they have done, what they continue to do or not do and how their actions have been damaging an already vulnerable workforce.  There is some good news in there too, but you have to listen all the way through to get to the silver lining.  Lastly, Thank You Kehlani, for representing us in such a beautiful manner.  We appreciate you.  #HopeYouListen (hint hint ;)

Boo Boo Brian is a male stripper/pole dancer.  Usually, male strippers in the past have not used the pole.  But since the rise of pole dancing, that is changing, especially in the LGBTQ stripping community.  Brian found his sexual freedom of expression that led to him discovering that stripping was a path he wanted to follow.  He loves being a big ole slut on stage!  In fact, stripping was what helped him develop style and personality on stage and inspired him to be more whore-like on competition stages.  Leave it to the sex worker community to inspire, guide and love individuals as they journey through their own whoredom.  Take a listen as he credits sex worker friends and community for his comeuppance.

Andre Shakti lives life with intention.  She’s not afraid to try new things, to be the first, to get knocked down because, 100% for sure, she will get back up again.  There was a massive amount of energy not only in the story of her life, but in Andre’s way of being.  It was refreshing to talk to someone so hungry for life and adventure.  This queen truly plays by her own rules while finding ways to include and uplift her surrounding community.  Andre is an at home Dominatrix, a master at wrestling porn and the Queen B behind Sanctuary Virtual Strip Club online.  Wake up, drink your coffee and feel energized by this amazing stripper!

Starshe aka Jezabelle, is from Hot Springs, Arkansas, but she has been a traveling stripper for most of her career.  Within her two decades of being a traveling stripper, Starshe has seen it all, the good, the bad and the ugly.  Unfortunately, the ‘ugly’ is at home in Hot Springs.  Since she is in a position to be able to compare good working conditions to bad working conditions, it’s even more annoying for her to see what’s going on in Arkansas.  Starshe spilled the beans and gave us the 411 on what’s happening at this little club tucked away in middle America.  We often forget how big and diverse our country is.  Yes, strip clubs exist in rural parts of America, where progressive thinking and ways of being are more scarce.
