Thank you for the comment :) it's always nice to hear from other people who've worked similar professions (lets face it what constitutes adult entrainment varies from place to place as do the laws that govern what's "allowed" from one town to the next) I completely agree with you in that no minimum wage job could give you the same bang for you buck, and especially much when you factor in how much more time you have to spend with your children when you're not working 40-50 hours a week trying to make ends meet.
I think what I meant with regards to the "antithesis of motherhood" comment had more to do with the idea that a peeler bar is an environment that really perpetuates sex, but not sexual consequences (ie: pregnancy) I worked in the bar until I was 7 months along, and at that point quite obviously showing (I was behind the bar not actively "dancing") and there were a lot of mixed reactions, quite a few people felt it was "inappropriate" to have a pregnant woman in the strip club serving liquor, others through it was "really hot" but the overwhelming majority were of the belief that it was a real taboo as if women could be mothers and strippers/entertainers/sexy but not "at the same time" I suppose it's the whole Madonna/Whore issue/complex that a lot of men/women deal with.
