WOW, Lindsay.

Every single line in this is quotable. The power. The tenderness. The messy, spectacular humanity.

Thank you for writing this 🙏

Loved this. Raw and real writing. My first night stripping, the club manager (a box blonde middle aged Midwestern woman) and all of the dancers gathered together to give me a run down of how everything works: how to give a dance, how to hustle, how to not let men waste your time, the tampon tip… A fellow dancer also gave me a two piece outfit. The camaraderie of outcasts is potent. Btw- I’ve been following you since your Facebook days. After stripping I was into the pole dance community and loved your rebellious ways in that community :) Funny how they tried to separate pole dance from strippers- it’s for exercise!!! It’s based on a Chinese sport!! It’s going to be in the Olympics!!!
