Think of strip clubs like pimps and hookers without the penetration (usually). When you tip the strippers (prostitutes), your money actually ends up in the hands of the club owner (pimp) to be divided as he sees fit. It is a lovely industry. Good for you for supporting it. Do-gooders like you are what makes America such a great country.

My wife used to be a waitress back in NY. All the tips were collected, taxed, and redistributed (with the house taking a cut). Was a bogus set up indeed, but prostitution it was not. Only difference was they wore clothes.

We all understand what REAL prostitution is....and it is not a girl dancing in a bikini.

Aside from that, I just think that most strippers have great personalities.

But Billy P. and Mike D. (the owners of Candy Bar, End Zone, Daddy's Rabbits and Pure Pleasure) bough it and it's now Club Rouge.

Wow, you sure are extremely wrong!!!!!!

Dancers are independent contractors; in other words, we are small businesses and we do pay a fee to work (think of it as the way dancers pay their taxes). Depending on the club's earning potential, the gross earnings from that night, or a combination of both, we pay a fee. In Virginia and NC is no bigger than 50 dollars (the most I had paid for a house fee was 30 dollars, but the earning potential was big, so in the end I was paying about 12% of the earnings). This fee is tax deductible, and it usually never goes above the 15% of the total earnings of the night. The same for the dances; the money that is taken from a private dance is for the dancer's use of the facility. This, like the house fee, is also tax deductible; also, depending on the type of dance, clubs keep up to 33%. In the end, the dancer gets the bigger laugh, since they get back ridiculous tax returns (I didn't make a lot of dancing because I have a vanilla job and I dance like twice a week, but I am getting back over 15K); well, at least the dancers that file taxes since outfits, make up, shoes, food, car, plastic surgery, hair products, etc ARE ALL BUSINESS EXPENSES AND BECAUSE OF THAT THEY ARE TAX DEDUCTIBLES.

In other words; the clubs aren't always the bad guys. Dancers getting so much back on taxes is the real reason why so many people are opposed to this type of work.

If you wanted to hire a girl to come to your personal house to dance nude is that illegal?

Virginia doesn't allow much. Better in Washington DC, Maryland. Although as many have stated, it is at your own risk, but that's anywhere those type of establishments are sketchy never really know what to expect when you go there.
