What do you guys think of this law? Do you think it will be challenged? What do your states allow and dont allow? Are there any strippers who have an opinion?

Well, I worked in a strip club in the early 80s for almost a year and I can guarantee that a lot of the girls made more money in the parking lot (or after hours) than inside. I think the strip club has evolved over time, though. Back in those days, most strip clubs were involved with bikers. Then they started getting away from that, and the "gentlemens club" idea was born. The lap dance came along after my days working in a titty bar; and VIP rooms way after.
But at the time, in Arizona, there was no touching allowed, and if alcohol was served, the girls had to keep their G-strings on. If it was full nudity, the establishment couldn't serve alcohol. There was only one place like that in my town - definitely run by an outlaw biker gang - so although there was the occasional shooting (or perhaps because of it) most customers were rather well-behaved, even though they were for the most part pretty liquored up from somewhere else.
But a blowjob in the parking lot usually only cost you a few spoons of coke (or enough $$ to buy some).
I used to go to some killer after hours parties in those days. Partying all night with coke-fueled strippers was everything you'd imagine it to be. There was a dark side to it, though, too. It's not a healthy environment to be around for long. I just thank my lucky stars it was in the pre-HIV days.
