Blondie and the women from Clermont Lounge need your help. The Ponce de Leon Avenue palace of grime, home to the popular exotic dancers, has been closed since the start of the year. The historic Clermont Motor Hotel is being transformed by the magic of redevelopment into an upscale boutique hotel with a “destination restaurant” by year’s end. The dancers have been without pay for weeks, as the renovations are taking longer than expected. Now an Austell bar has stepped in and volunteered its space for a car wash Sunday so the dancers can make some cash.

Star Community Bar in Little Five Points let the women dance (clothes-on) a couple weeks ago to earn some money. “The girls got some friends,” Clermont owner Kathi Martin said of the very-much-grown women. You can head to B3 Bar and Grill, 2523 Veterans Memorial Highway SW, between 1 and 6 p.m., grab a beer, get your car cleaned and listen to some tunes. She said six or seven of the dancers will be at the Sunday benefit. Martin confirmed that the much-adored Blondie will be there. But Martin wouldn’t vouch for the car-washing skills of the one-woman beer-crushing-machine. “I don’t know how good of a job she’ll do,” Martin said. They plan on being back in their divey home by the first week of April.

It would be nice if some of their long time fans got off their duffs and raised some money for these ladies.

It can't be any fun to be in your 60s and reduced to washing cars and dancing naked to survive.

I remember when Anthony Bourdain did one of his shows in Atlanta and he said The Clermont Lounge was one of his favorite places in the world

Default Clermont Lounge dancers set up GoFundMe page

https://www.gofundme.com/clermont-lounge-dancers

Dancers from Atlanta's infamous strip club the Clermont Lounge have established a GoFundMe to raise money while the lounge is shuttered for renovations.

"For some of our dancers, this is their only income and having to be shut down for several weeks impacts them and their families," the GoFundMe page says. "In many cases, these women are the sole providers and are having a hard time making [it] through without the income from working at the Clermont Lounge."

Most strippers dance at more than one club. For your average Cheetah or Magic City lady they would just go to another spot while it was being renovated. But I don't think that bad bodied no rhythm thing can work any where else but Clermont. So they pretty much SOL
