    It seems like the words Atlanta and ‘Stripper’ go hand in hand these days…. especially? in light of songs like Usher’s ‘I Don’t Mind’ ft Juicy J where crooner proclaims that since he was ‘raised in the ‘A” he doesn’t mind if you dance on the pole (cause that don’t make you a ho)…. but I digress.

    [FLASHBACK: For Discussion: Is Stripping a Recession Proof Profession?]Strip Club 12

    Stripping in Atlanta can be quite lucrative with it being the new ‘hip-hop’ capital of the world and many Strippers take great pains to ensure that their jobs are secure.

    Over the years, several local clubs have been sued by exotic dancers including Magic City, Tattletale Lounge, Pin Ups and Pleasers. Last January, a federal judge ruled that strippers at Pin Ups were employees, not independent contractors, and were entitled to a minimum wage and overtime pay under the Fair Labor Standards Act.

    Now two more Atlanta strippers have filed lawsuits against their club owners concerning their wages.

    Jzapal Jackson aka Jhonni Blaze Mugshot

    Jhonni Blaze StraightFromTheA 1Jackson posed for the mugshot above after she was arrested in Atlanta, Georgia March 5, 2014 and detained in Fulton County Jail.

    Many sites were originally reporting that the popular stripper was being held in connection to the December shooting death of her boyfriend, Brian Washington, who was shot dead outside of Houston?s NOX nightclub December 25, 2013.

    However, Blaze has spoken out and revealed that the reports are inaccurate and that is not the case. While she was definitely arrested, Blaze says her arrest had nothing to do with her exes murder case.

    WTF?!? Pregnant Atlanta Stripper Files ‘Unlawful Termination’ Lawsuit…

    Oct, 24 2013 | Written by ATLien

    Exotic Dancing Tampa

    An Atlanta stripper has filed a lawsuit against the strip club where she worked after she was fired being pregnant.

    [READ:?FOR DISCUSSION: s Stripping A Recession Proof Profession?]

    Amanda Berry and fellow dancer A?Cire Newby joined forces to sue Atlanta’s Pin Ups Strip Club in federal court, claiming it violated the federal Fair Labor Standards Act.

    [FLASHBACK: Meet 70 Year Old Spyda, Atlanta’s Oldest Stripper… (VIDEO)]

    The lawsuit, which was filed earlier this month, claims that The Great American Dream Inc (Pin Ups owners) misclassified Newby and Berry as independent contractors rather than employees, paying them only gratuities from customers and not minimum wage or overtime when they worked more than 40 hours in a week.

    Meet Atlanta’s Oldest Stripper: 70 Year Old “Spyda” [VIDEO]

    Apr, 6 2011 | Written by ATLien

    So errr ummm…. yeah. There’s this lady on the streets of Atlanta who says that she’s the “A”‘s oldest stripper.

    The gray haired granny is more geriatric than bootylicious but claims, “I’m 70 but people think I’m 25!”

    She also says she used to work at the Blue Flame and that “they be making it SNOW not rain baby”…

    [Sidebar: I’m not sure exactly what that means, but my strip club lingo is a bit rusty.]

    Spyda may be 70 but she’s definitely not down for the count! The only thing missing in that parking lot was a stripper pole.

    Check out Spyda’s smooth moves below: Continue Reading…

    Is Stripping A Recession Proof Profession?

    Feb, 9 2010 | Written by ATLien

    If you lost your cushy desk job because of layoffs and budget cuts, what would you do? The simple answer might be to amp up your resume and hit the streets, but in this economy you would be in a crowd of thousands seeking the same job.

    As time passes by, and your unemployment compensation runs out what’s next? Do you go to Walmart and make 6 bucks an hour? Could you survive off of that hourly wage after making 6 figures?

    These questions and more are posed everyday in these hard times and lives are changed everyday after a job loss. I can fully attest to it since I was laid off myself from my City of Atlanta job over a year ago and it hasn’t been easy.

    The AJC recently did an expose about how this recession is causing more women to work as strippers. Not hard to believe at all, since stripping is a recession proof profession or at least that’s what we’ve been led to believe.

    So I pose this question: Is stripping “recession proof”…? Continue Reading…
