Great...now I have this mental image of people pelting strippers on stage with Presidential dollar coins. Is it sad that kind of makes me laugh? Report this Post to the Staff

crazyforATB Valued Member United States 449 Posts	Posted 03/17/2013 9:45 pm this actually does have a real impact on adult entertainment clubs (for the young ears). bouncing dollar coins around would be interesting! Report this Post to the Staff
larsdog Pillar of the Community United States 593 Posts	Posted 03/18/2013 12:52 am Not a problem! I was at a "Gentlemen's Club" many years ago in Texas where they didn't allow cash tips but sold paper script to the patrons. I'm not sure what the benefit was to the club or the employees, but a similar arrangement could be made if you don't want to pony up a $5. My favorite memory was 20 years ago in Canada. A friend and I wanted to go to all the places mentioned in the Motley Crue song Girls, Girls, Girls. Obviously, Crazy Horse in Paris, France was the biggest challenge, but another venue outside the U.S. is the Marble Arch in Vancouver, British Columbia. We stopped by there on a trip to ski Whistler/Blackcomb. The best part was that when we walked in, the hockey game was on TV. During intermission some girls got up to dance, but when the game came back on, they left the stage and didn't return until the next intermission. You have to admire the priorities!

Let me explain: Years ago I performed in a shadowbox version of the Rocky Horror Picture Show (that's the version where you have live performers in front of the screen, playing along with their movie counterparts), and we were collecting for our theatre program. You paid a donation at the door, but in the first year some smartypants seniors decided to stuff money into Frank's garters during his opening number and it became kind of a tradition. In the second year I played Janet and since lots of people had change, I bought a second slip, tore it in half, and sewed it up into a bag that hung off my waistband. People with dollar coins or rolls of quarters could toss them in the bag, and then when I was offstage I just dumped it in the pot in the back. Theft was a non-issue because the bag hung right below my hand and if someone wanted it I'd hold it open myself. There are a million ways to adapt, if it's needed. Report this Post to the Staff
