Being a former exotic dancer...I find the scene to be kind of boring in Calgary, not to mention most of the "show" consists mainly of the performer on the floor spread eagle for the loonie/toonie toss!! I find that to be degrading. However, the girls are doing it so perhaps they are in a different head space??
I loved the days of taking tips more personally

and being able to get off the stage and have fun...days gone by

I did have a blast at Diamonds in Edmonton though (my birthday bash with the perbites...it wasn't really my birthday

) The dancer "Asia" got down and dirty" woo hoo!! and pulled a few of us up on stage with her. She made me an offer I couldn't refuse...flash for a free poster, being the bad girl I am, up went my shirt. Proceeded with a friend to have a couple private shows with her. Wow...unforgettable!
So Edmonton-much more liberal.
