LA Exotic Dancers Victim to attorney Harris and associates, private investigator(s), and others helping him gang up on approximately 600 females that performed in several Los Angeles venues as semi and fully nude erotic performing dance artists for adults. After trying to assess the landscape of porn stars and their REAL choice to use condoms on the work site people think I've sold out. Absolutely not!!!! I continue to support the adult industry at every turn. Sharon Mitchell, AIM healthcare, and the BOD including Nina Hartley may prostitute their morals and values for work but I would rather go to work as a prostitute, and I do. This assault on my sister performing artists and the founding fathers of what today's generation calls Strip Clubs is sure to show how much I am NOT for sale!
Mr. Harris, attorney for the attack, and his third party delegates sent me a letter along with perhaps several hundred other females that allegedly worked for several 'strip clubs' around the town. The duplicate letter, ya they mailed it twice, did not indicate my stage name. I'm not sure but I think I am legally allowed to keep my anonymity and remain a private person doing business as A Cannibal? So why was their delegate of duty sending me mail regarding Miss Cannibal addressed to someone other than A Cannibal? That sucks saggy cow boobs! At least half of the script in the letter stated that buckets of money were about to come my way from 2003 to now, should I do absolutely nothing. Yes that's right just sit back and collect the check. Can you say…identity theft anyone? I wouldn't want to be responsible for mass mailing duplicate letters with all sorts of personal identification and half a page how rich this person is about to become. Ohh Hell No! Particularly since the main person representing this class of mass mailing is known to be couch hopers with Starving Student Movers on speed dial.
Being a reality challenged human filtering incoming communication through the 25 layers of studied and named filters of bull shit before I actually assimilate that signal there is a remote possibility that those who said they were working with the plaintiff's counsel didn't say what I heard them say several times. However, I thought I heard this case was as easy as Sunset Thomas at the Bunny Ranch because of a recent California law that passed. That law being such to forbid any semi or fully nude performing artist within the state from ever ever ever again, from that day forward, to the end of time for real, prevent us having creative control over the art of erotic dance. I thought I heard that we were all suppose to be employees under this allegedly new passed law.
Well, if that is true then how come the law suit goes back to 2003? If laws were retro active Charles Manson would have surely been legally murdered by now, right? How come a law passed just this year but can be enforced back 5 years? I guess those attorneys from Pepperdine law school, Mr. Harris, are just more way smarter, or else God is co counsel because this just don't make no dollars nor cents to my blond brain.
My second freak out came, as you may have guessed by now, being an employee acting as a semi or fully nude performing artist dancer. YIKES! Because I grew up in public naked on stage across the northern American continent since 1994, I've been given the unique opportunity to see how just about every kind of Moulin Rouge modern day strip club business is run. Yes, I have been an employee and I hated it. My sisters and I were literally pimped out and the customers taken politely as hostages. We had to force 0.50 cent bric-a-brac crap stamped with the two bit company logo for $20.00 onto unsuspecting victims, I mean patrons, every 15 minutes or else pay the full price ourselves! In my experience those venues are ruthless chop shops without even the tiniest hint of humanity found in the most severely bureaucratic corporate entities. Rules are absent exceptions and money God. Any attempt at artistic creation, impressionistic dance, erotic performance, or freedom any reasonable person would pair with dance was prevented in the most underhanded ways. A favorite of one owner was to have us do scheduled choreographed routines. No pay for costume fittings or 8AM practice sessions either. We had to over pay for the entire stupid costumes if a feather was missing. Eventually a feather was always found off someone's costume. It's not like the costumes were Headie Joe, Bob Mackie, or even Vicki Rene. Bugger that for a job ahe?
Performing art is just that art. Once it becomes mandatory employee status across the state of California it becomes restricted, uniform, and mass produced. The long established art of dance is legally chipped away at. It's already restricted under jurisdictional interpretations of our guaranteed protected rights within the law of the land, our first amendment. I can't perform live sex acts as a form of political speech about this government; vaginal, or heaven forbid, anal penetration with a male penis on stage for some unclear reason. But Larry Flint can publish a cartoon to millions depicting exactly what I would have said on stage? I may be charged with the CRIME of prostitution if I perform an erotic dance fully clothed, semi, or fully nude and golly gosh someone being entertained is sexually aroused? Well hells bells, how many folks are witness to people crying, laughing, or spinning out in a theater. Entertainment is there to entertain, to stimulate the emotions and feeling of those wanting to be exposed to the art. If sexual arousal is defined as the science of psychology defines it then any and every 20 seconds of everyone's life some stimulus, like a teacher, sweeps week news shows, or even the grocery checker could be charged with prostitution because the observer was sexually aroused.
Because of the vast horizontal integration for anyone with a vagina in the adult industry my experiences are broad. Being a legally licensed and state regulated prostitute I am well aware of sex as legal consideration in a contract and what it means to bargain with some one for what sexual arousal they want for the exchange of money I want. Nothing in any strip club has ever looked or smelled even similar to that, except for those Jon Bon Jovie look a likes in Florida a few years back. Oops.
Even the government knows what sex as legal consideration in a contract is when they bargain with the female informant to have sex with a criminal at large for the exchange of what she wants, a reduced charge or freeway clean up duty. A US Supreme Court Case I just read decided that government officials contracting for sex as consideration in a contract with 'unclear who exactly' but for sure informants or chicks on charges is NOT ILLEGAL. So there, marriage, porn in California, prostitution in NV, and also government officials have sex as legal consideration in a contract, ha ha fucking ha religious right victim dictators! I'll dance on the separation of church and state and you get to be happy God is on your money.
The few legal discussions of caution I've read on sex as legal consideration in a contract for government officials are absent the same thing authors of porn forget. They all seem to be forgetting the public health issue, STD's, HIV, and responsibility/ liability. I would guess, a cop shop that gets a ho to flat back some King into the system is absolutely responsible and legally liable for any STD's, HIV, or other harm that comes to the ho from the sex, and liable to the ho's family, the ho's clients, or the ho's friends with benefits. Golly gee skipper could these legal articles be motivated by enforced morality and lack the morality of the human animal of 2008? I would suggest that government officials look at the liability of sexual injury when thinking of drafting a policy and procedure booklet for law enforcement officers to follow when pimping ho's to criminals. Forget the rules for sexist BS and equal bargaining power, look at the liability for the publics health and needed rules for that.
Sometime, and more than other times, I feel like I am the only one on the planet that thinks about the health of the performer and those around him or her. Very self centered I know, but who is unacquainted with a little self centeredness huh. But then I remember my fellow legally licensed and government regulated ho's working around the globe in all the different countries and I feel like I'm falling softly backwards in space landing safely in a big white warm clean feathered quilt floating effortlessly on a cloud knowing that us legal ho's live the truth that testing is not prevention and condoms are, I am not alone.
