I am always reading the local news here in Las Vegas to find stories or news related to the prostitution/strippers/adult entertainment that goes on in this city. I recently stumbled upon this article in the Review Journal about Hookers for Jesus. What is that all about, I thought.

I had heard about this girl or group of girls having their both at the AVN (porn) convention this January but was baffled by it. I am not one for people forcing religion on those who don’t care to hear it, but at least this girl seems to have ulterior motives besides getting hookers to go to church on Sunday. Her main point to doing what she does is to get girls out of the business. I know that most girls that I work with have pimps, and I too wish I could help them get out of that trap. As much as I would like to see those girls be on their own, I wouldn’t want to deal with the drama that comes along with it. At least the girl, Annie Lobert, is brave enough to help people who want to truly leave the business on their own.

Anyway, its an interesting article and the poor girl has been through a lot in her life. I was shocked at the amount of things that have been thrown in her way. I also didn’t know that our current Sheriff was head of vice back in the late 80’s… I hope he doesn’t try to relive those days again!

So.. not much going around here. Had a friend in from out of town this past week which made my computer and blog feel very unloved. Sorry

This week is the MAGIC convention (I can’t find what it stands for but its basically a large fashion show for clothing makers that draws a lot of people). You could have fooled me that these people were even in town because it has been fairly quiet and the people I have gone to see on calls were not even here for any particular reason but to go on vacation in Vegas. The only reason why I know the fashion people are in town by the way people were dressed in the Venetian while I sat to eat at the Grand Lux Cafe. Great people watching site along with great way to assess how many crazy people come to Vegas. It’s amazing.

Besides the convention in town the other event going on is the hurricane force wind storm we are having. We get an amazing amount of wind here during the spring months but tonight is just something else. How’s a girl to keep her dress down in this weather? Heh. The answer is: she doesn’t! I am sure that is a factor in tonight’s quietness. I have seen at least two signs smashed to bits and a P.F. Chang’s sign that seemed to be speared by itself and slid down til it stopped on the larger part of its support beam. Wow. What a mess.

Hope some guys stay in their room and decide to get a girl to stay warm n’ toasty. I can surely help.

Okay to make up for my lacking picture posts I will post two, today. One of me and one of the funniest advertising I have seen for anything related to this industry.

I went to drop off a fee at an office that is upstairs of a building that mainly rents to outcall services and houses the office for Sapphire Strip Club. Due to zoning restrictions and few locations available near the Strip, there aren’t many places these businesses can rent and get the necessary license to operate from the city of Las Vegas. So I walk upstairs and there is the directory for the businesses and underneath it is taped this sign:

I read it (since who doesn’t need tax help in this industry?) and started laughing out loud. What a brave man to advertise his services to prostitutes in such a manner! Funny thing is he might offend more than get business from girls who are in fact, hoes, but rather be called a different word. I am still giggling

Apparently some lawyer from Arizona thinks he has reason to fight a long fight in Nevada and sue the topless clubs to allow strippers to receive wages from the clubs so that they would be employees instead of independent contractors. While I agree with this, perhaps, if I still lived in my former home state where I was a dancer for a number of years then I would be totally for this and think that his firm has a chance. In fact after reading the article in the Review Journal I found out that they have fought it in court to allow such a thing in my home state.

The main reason why I am so, “yea good luck there, buddy” to this lawyer is because Las Vegas just doesn’t fall into the same guides like other states do. Girls come to Las Vegas often for one weekend to make a grip of cash and then leave to go back home. They never will return again. In fact it was reported that there are 10,000 adult entertainers who are registered in the county. That is insane to have to keep up with that amount of paper work. It is not that common to find a stripper at the same club over a long period of time. As many times as I have been to the Rhino over the past five years I know of 2 girls who have been there for more than a couple of years. Go to the same club I worked at before back home? I will still know about 5-10 girls and I haven’t worked there in several years.

I am all about fair and just treatment for girls working in the clubs but Las Vegas is an anomaly of it’s own. The club that is mentioned in the article is also a more seedy not so busy club downtown, the Glitter Gultch. If I worked there I would probably want hourly wages, too! Heh. Another downside girls see is that their tips will be reported and can’t get away with flubbing on their taxes so much. All in all? I say take the battle to other states or fight for the prostitutes out in the brothels who want benefits and don’t mind paying for it. That would be a campaign for a more just cause.

Sorry the posts have been slim lately. I am out of town right now and brought this newspaper article with me as I left town. Definitely worth a talk…

I had an up and down night last night. A bunch of calls where phone girls were sending me on bull and taking advantage of my patience and calmer attitude . I sometime have a hard time telling them no or asking a bunch of questions about the legitimacy of the call (no one likes to work with a bitch for an escort) and a few girls were totally using that to send me to downtown then to the other end of the strip and they all be a waste of an hour or so.

I called off for that service and got a call from another one to the Motel 6 across from the MGM Grand. Hooray. That place can be creepy but a lot of people go there to escape whoever is staying with them in their regular hotel room. This client was escaping his sister and brother in law at the MGM Signature. I go in and he is steadily drinking a bottle of champagne with his shaky hand and plastic some-assembly-required champagne glass. I collect the fee and start talking about tips. He is pretty limited to his funds and the nearest ATM is a block away so we just decide to just work with what he has and that he fully knew what he was getting for his money. Half way through he acted like he never knew he wasn’t getting sex and was disappointed. I hate it when clients do that half way through a session only to ruin the vibe and their erection by acting dumb about what we solidly agreed to before hand. We leave on good terms and he begs me for a hug as I am walking out.

Anyway, I go to the service office and turn in my fee and watch TV for a bit. Almost a whole hour after I left the room he client calls the office to tell them that I have no soul. I hear her reply, “Well you were the one who called us, sir. What does that make you? She only came over at your request.” He apparently repeated back, “Well she has no soul” and the girl on the phone back said, “Oh really? Then what does that make you?” and hung up. I don’t know how he got from begging me for a hug as I left to me not having a soul. He wanted a girlfriend I suppose and nothing makes some people happy. Sad
