Earn $200/night

Exotic Dancing

Stop by Café Lustre

2-4 p.m. weekdays

$200 per night! I can’t believe Jenna is making so much money. Why can’t I make 200 bucks a night?

Because I don’t have that good a body. I have cellulite and a thick waist.

Well, sure. But Joshua said he’d pay to see me naked. If someone who looks and fucks like he does wants to see me strip why wouldn’t other men? And $200 a night, just for taking my clothes off, well that’s easy enough. I’ll just close my eyes and think of… Money.

Sure I will. There’s no way I’d ever strip in public. I get embarrassed dancing with my clothes on. And how old is too old to strip? I called a number for information about selling my eggs, and when I told them I was over twenty-four, they said thanks but no thanks. So stripping seems out of the question.

Then the check comes. The latte and the muffin and the omelette and the mimosa comes to $23. Plus I had to fill the Beemer with gas today—and have a new muffler put on. I pay the bill, and leave four dollars tip, and I have seventeen dollars left.

Not on me. Not in my wallet. My total, overall, complete, entire and absolute wealth is: seventeen dollars. Carlos will be furious.

That’s it. No choice. Today. Café Lustre.
