Rick’s Cabaret Running Out of Stripper Names
…
Rick’s has employed more than 3,000 strippers over the past half-decade, including 1,000 on its current roster. But no two “active” dancers — girls who’ve stripped in the past year — are allowed to have the same working title. Hanover says requested names serve as a popularity poll for each generation’s sex symbols. “I’ve been going through Pamelas for 20 years. There have been a lot of Giselles,” says Hanover. “I’ve run out of suggestions.”
…
Apparently, neither do strip club patrons.
…
It’s difficult to argue with. According to the Association of Club Executives, the industry “boasts 3,829 adult cabarets nationwide that employ over 500,000 people” and “a single gentlemen’s club in a major metropolitan area grosses between $10-20 million per year. A small club in a rural area (Less than 5000 square feet) can generate over a million dollars while cities in secondary markets such as Cleveland or Pittsburgh boast clubs that gross approximately $2 million per year.”
As for the dearth of stripper-like names still available to Rick’s dancers, well…this may signal a return to basics, as we’re currently seeing in other areas of society.
