Edinburgh Fringe - Makin' It Rain
« on: 23 August 2016, 12:23:34 am »
Nicole Henriksen's show on being a stripper is excellent.

As well as the sort of stuff you'd expect (how she got into it), she's also very good on people's reactions, including the approach that effectively says 'let it be another woman who gets attacked, not you' rather than being 'no-one should be raped, regardless of work, clothes, behavior?'

She's also very good on the sex work hierarchy ? amazingly, strippers put themselves at the top of it ;D but the bottom of the list will be familiar to many escorts. Either way, it's still harmful. The end section includes her talking about the effects of the work on relationships and mental health.
'The Ian formerly known as SW5'. What they said: "Indispensable", "You are our best resource", and (hours later!) "I'm afraid that you're being made redundant..."
