It was later that night and I was hanging upside down on a metal pole in my stripper outfit. The club was dark. Maria and Rosa were over in the booths talking to some of the men. Ruby and Trixie were winding themselves around their metal poles. The room was cold and music pumped through the air. Tonight, it was '80's music. The air was cold on purpose; certain parts of our anatomy stuck out, resulting in more money. I pointed my foot and pushed myself upward, flipping so that I was facing the pole. I then twirled around it, in the middle of it. Because I'd taken ballet for many years as well as cheerleading it helped me with my dancing. It gave me an advantage, which was a reason the boss'd hired me. He hired Rosa and Maria because they were exotic and Ruby, because some people preferred chocolate to vanilla. Renee, because having red hair was actually a genetic abnormality, and he wanted someone unusual. Along with those reasons, we were also hired based on our dance and flirting abilities. We made $40 to $100 an hour, depending on our ability and the hours we danced. The longer you stayed the more money you made. If there was a particular dancer someone coming to the club favored over the others, that dancer would get more money than the others. Both men and women came to the club.
