We have heard of "boober eats," and now we have a "mask on, clothes off party."
This past weekend a strip club opened in Wyoming, knowing they are taking risks ... but is it a risk worth taking? Are boobs really the answer during a pandemic?
Wyoming wasn't hit as hard with the coronavirus like New York or even Detroit -- so apparently the risk is worth it there. "The Den" is now open.
Plenty of hand sanitizer is made available for guests -- jokes to be made there -- and workers but the main problem is handling cash.
“I’m super-excited. I’m a little nervous because the virus is still out there, but I’m glad to be able to go to work, because a lot of people can’t yet,” says dancer Doris Craig, 20, between performances. “The stimulus money was nice, but that’s going to run out, and I don’t like to feel like I’m dependent on the government.”
Kim Chavez is the owner of The Den did speak on the situation:
The Den owner Kim Chavez says she doesn't feel completely secure in reopening, but she felt she had no choice but to open alongside other bars in Cheyenne, some of which started serving at 9 a.m. The Den shut down just after Easter, and performers, who are all legally considered independent contractors, went without pay until they began working again Friday night. Several said they applied for unemployment, but most said they scraped by on savings and the generosity of friends and family.
When strip clubs open around Detroit will you be going? Or do you think the strip club will be the last place you go?
