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.
