Meet Lola, a stripper of almost 15 years who started dancing in 2007 comes onto the podcast to talk extensively about her entrance to the stripping industry, the importance of harm reduction and obtaining an ideal stripping work environment. Seeing an increase in opioid overdoses in Philadelphia, she found it important to help educate people on harm reduction and how we can help others struggling with addiction. The strip club industry is primarily a nightlife industry and like any other nightlife environment strippers may be susceptible to harmful intoxicants or situations that might not be recognized as harmful. Lola explains the importance of harm reduction in a general sense as well as how it is vital for the stripping industry. They discuss different forms of harm reduction that branch out beyond drugs or alcohol as well as ethical club practices. What kind of organizations or groups such as a harm reduction coalitions will it take to help create a better work environment for strippers? Residing upstate, her club in Pennsylvania only opened up 3 months ago so we discuss her covid-19 experience. Lola found other forms of income during the pandemic such as life drawing through zoom and continuing her day job as a dental hygienist part time. Aurora and Lola go into the concept of the healing aspects of stripping like the intimacy of touch and having a person to converse with. The dichotomy between pole dancers and strippers has been a topic of discussion for several years now and it seems to not be settling. What can be fun fitness can be harmful without recognition of where pole came from. Can pole studios help humanize sex workers? Similarly to how burlesque became more accepted overtime, do pole fitness dancers hold a vital role in legitimizing our labor? Reach out to us to share your opinion! Do you like what you hear?
