Jack - Offs Taking Us Girls Out to Eat




Being a stripper draws you to many men who are after your body. Some people refer to them as "stage-door Johnnys". Most of us strippers back then referred to them as "jack-offs". We would get everything we could out of them without going to bed with them. One thing we could always count on was a free meal out of them anytime. They were always wanting to "take us out to eat".

It got to the point where it was better to be hungry or buy my own food. Most of the time when a "jack-off" would take me out to eat, he would just stare at me. No matter what I talked about, I could see him undressing me with his eyes.

It was good to have these guys around to pick up the tab for a lot of things such as food or clothes or whatever else I could think to use them. But for the most part, the aggravation of their presence was not worth it.

Rejection: a Story from The Old Stripper


REJECTION:
From Thoughts of a Stripper: A Mother's Story
By Opal Dockery


JANUARY 31, 1974



Yes, all her life she had received rejection. Every place that she searched for love and human affection – she found – only in the long run – rejection – until – One thoughtful moment she realized that she was searching for love, strength, warmth, etc. in the wrong direction. She directed her thoughts to herself – which is her own true, personal Spirit. From that moment on she never searched again for love or worried about rejection. Because she had found love and acceptance in her own self. Once she respected herself enough to value her own personal standards – then she no longer needed to worry about what anyone else thought because she had truly found herself.

My Parents Never Loved Me




I have always felt that my mother and father have never loved me. I am fifty four years old and still feel this way. I would like to know the reason before I die why they do not.

One time a friend of mine, actually a boyfriend back in the late seventy's, by the name of George Pappas explained to me why he thought they never loved me. He said that since I was the third child and my parents already had the perfect family - a boy and a girl, that my arrival put a boomerang in their idea of a perfect family. Also, at one month old I became ill with the hoopen cough which caused the leaders of my eyes to weaken; thus I became cross-eyed. Back when I was a kid, any type of deformity - anything less than perfect - was considered as retarded. So, as George explained to me, having an unwanted third child, and being labeled as retarded is a possible explanation for their not loving me. I do remember, many times, my mother saying, "I don't know what's ever gonna become of Opal!"

I have worried and cried over their not loving me many times over the years. I have tried to do different things to make them love me and to feel acceptance from them. None has worked. I might think that maybe I am wrong, but the same feelings have been with me for my entire life; so this leads me to believe that maybe they are real feelings and they have never ever loved me. The feelings have intensified over the years from different actions my parents have done to prove their unlove for me.

As I said, I always felt unloved by them; but I was never completely sure of this until I had my own children. The strong love I have for them shows me that my parents do not love me. I have never felt one fraction of the type of love I have for my children from my parents.

One time I asked a fortune teller why my parents have never loved me. She told me that I have an old soul and that the type of love I
                  am capable of having and projecting – they do not even understand.

Food For the Desk Clerk




One night after the strip show in Syracuse, New York all of us strippers went to have breakfast. It was a Greek restaurant. All of us ordered omelets with the "the works". There was so much food that we could not eat all of it. So we decided to be onery. We asked for one to-go container and put our left-overs from all our omelets in the one container. We went back to the hotel and told the desk clerk we were thinking about him and brought him a nice omelet. He said, "Oh you girls are so nice!" If he only knew!!!!!!
