We have lots of lapdancing clubs in Bournemouth, but do the women who work in them earn loads of money and feel empowered?
SARAH’S STORY
I don’t know anywhere you get paid a wage. You pay the club £10 up to
£80 for being there. They weren’t concerned some performers went away
having not earned anything. They also take a percentage of what you earn.
You’d have to wear the clothing they’d tell you to wear and that comes out of
your earnings. They’d tell you to buy a dress from their own range, that would
come out of your wages. And shoes. They’d supply all this but you’d pay for it.
The club would tell you they’ll give you training but it’s trial and error. We had to
wear special costumes and lots and lots of make up. It’s not glamorous. It’s out
of the pages of a men’s mag.
I used to tell clients I was doing a degree in Russian and they’d be visually
intimidated and would clam up. They’d want a bimbo who’d be subordinate to
them. I’d tell them I didn’t - I’d say I’d work in Tesco. A degree was like pouring
cold water over their privates. I learnt from that mistake.
There were always more girls than customers and a competition to see who
could get to the customers first. Owners loved the fact customers would see
dozens of girls. They liked the fact the customers would be dazzled with the
choice. Companies sent huge groups of employees to the clubs. Every day it
happened. It’d be part of expenses. The employees seemed to be old hands. At
the end of a big brainstorming day, they’d head down and be bought vouchers
by their bosses.
A lot of people would drink a lot to get through it. Girls would sneak in little
bottles and top up their orange juice. Or turn up for work drunk. 90% were
drunk by the end of the night. So they were more vulnerable. There were lots of
eating disorders. Nobody got to stage where they were very skinny, but often
women hadn’t eaten for two days because they knew they were coming to
work. They’d not eat so would feel the impact of the booze more.
There’s a rule regarding distance. You’re allowed to get closer than they say in
the contract. It’s supposed to be three feet, which is quite a lot. That is broken
instantly

Senator Edward Kennedy's opening Speech at the 1978 US Senate Hearing on the marketing of formula in developing countries
Senator Edward Kennedy cared not only for US citizens but also for international health. It was his vision, as Chairman of the US Senate Subcommittee on Health and Scientific Research, which instigated the International Code of Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes, which was adopted by the World Health Assembly in 1981. This Code is a benchmark for good practice and is used by governments all over the world to protect infant and young child health from unethical marketing.
