2811...Smarty Pants

Sorry, I mean Smarty NOPants.

The Independent, a Brit bird cage liner, cited "...preliminary findings from a year-long study of 300 lap dancers conducted by Dr. Teela Sanders and Kate Hardy from the University of Leeds, in northern England." that discovered that about a quarter of the women have university degrees.

They also found that the myth of the drug addicted peeler was just that, a myth. In fact "...most dancers entered the industry for financial reasons..." The money is there, "Dancers are also paid an average of £232 ($360) per shift, and most work between two and four shifts a week, meaning they take home between £24,000 and £48,000 a year." That a 100,000.00 CanuckBucks give or take.

In what comes up as a zero in the surprise department, Dr. Sanders discovered that "These women are incredibly body confident. I think there is something of a generational cultural difference. These young women do not buy the line that they are being exploited, because they are the ones making money out of a three-minute dance and a bit of a chat."

Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys.
