Please contact Bessie via PM if you are affraid. But I assure you that we are very interested to hear your stories. We really are concerned about your safety and others around you. Sincerly. No one should have to live in fear of being killed regardless of what they do for a living or how they live their life. It is a free country and you will not be judged here. We need to work together to stop the killers and the sex workers are the key to doing so. As a trucker we see alot but you see so much more and your insight is crucial to identifying these men/women serial killers. Please encourage other sex workers to come online and share with us as well.
lol... I have to say NewAngles... you made a statement that eluded to feel that you thought, unless I was turning tricks, my stories are probably mild... This was the 80's... the t-bar/g-string bylaw was STILL in effect AND every exotic dancer/burlesque dancer/stripper/gogo dancer, had to be licenced to work in any bar in Toronto because of the Emanuel Jaques incident. The main bar I worked in, The Zanzibar, in Toronto was the one right across the road from the "said incident" in this article:
http://torontoist.com/2016/06/historicist-emanuel-jaques/ .
The stripping world became extremely high strung because the patrons were pent up... hookers and pimps outside the doors trying to flag the customers, pimps trying to constantly "bump" us dancers... us getting rolled by a hooker with scars and knives... customers who thought they were priviledged for paying for drinks or tipping you... also, if you lived close to the bar you worked at, as I did living in Regent park, you had to be careful walking home if you couldn't flag a cab... the cabbies ALSO trying it on with you....
THEN there was the stint I also did while working, doing inbound phone `work` and listening to some of the twisted fantasies and having to play them out... wondering if these people just didn`t go out that night to act on them, or if they kept it to phone fantasy... no NewAngles... I didn`t turn tricks, unless my work also as a proffessional Domme is consider by some to be tricks, but that's another story and can of worms... but believe me... I have some `stories to tell`.... No, I`m not afraid.... I`m just not familiar with this crowd yet... I`ve read this thread from beginning to end so far and everyone seems decent and not judgey... but... even though I haven`t attached my fb to the links area, I`m not hard to find, BUT... I`ll need to familiarize myself a bit more before being comfortable enough to tell some of my tales of old and wondering if ANY of the twisted people I met may have possibly been more than just a sick Joe next door..... In time... after I `get to know` you all a wee bit better and feel I`m talking to friends and not strangers.
Cheers
The Catt :cat:
... and yes... Catt was one of my stage names, the final one I changed it to before I left when VIP rooms came about and the business changed to any ole grope for a buck.... besides that, I`m well educated and was when I was dancing as well, but, the pay, tips and table dances make you WAY more money in a week than most jobs in my field at that time could make in a month. And drinking and meeting people on the job was encouraged. Perfect for me who was just coming out of my teens, did a lot of schooling and wanted to have fun. I met a lot of great people, bands, bikers, etc... and I also met a LOT of bad.
And I`m sorry if what I said came off a bit snippy, but I felt your statement meant if one isn`t pulling tricks in the sex biz... then it`s a pat-pat on the head and please connect us to someone who`s seen DANGER... I can assure you... talk to any Dancer and they`ll have at least ONE story of someone figuring when work is done the show must continue... after all, they paid for tabledances, drinks... and these days, VIP room.
Walk a mile in our heels then decide whose seen danger. My stories will come as I feel comfortalbe, not to prove to someone who thinks I didn`t enounter danger, wrong.
Cheers...
