lap-dancers

Here thanks to Twisted Fans is a brief photoessay about the modern “lap dancing” trade, with pictures taken from the book Lapdancer by photographer Juliana Beasley. Apparently the main floor show strip tease dancing has gone away… if you can believe everything you read in the newspapers about the flesh trades. That’s always been a highly reliable way of obtaining high quality information, right up there with consulting Tipper Gore about the positive qualities of youth music. However, the pictures in the essay are worth a look, and some of the accompanying text is pretty funny too:

Beasley notes that lap-dancers now commonly spread cloths across customers’ laps. At one time the customer’s trousers served this barrier function, but apparently it can no longer be taken for granted that customers are in fact wearing pants.
