^^^pretty sure he prefers the human variety
Your memory reminds me of a scene from Lucifer that I enjoy...he's on a murder case and discovers LA is filled with porn stars and gets distracted from his work as all his favs are there on set as they question potential suspects. his eldest brother (God's fav son) asks L why he's so surprised to be in the presence of porn actresses as surely hell (over which L reigned) must be full of them
Lucifer looks bemused as he responds "
surprisingly not, on account of all the good they do on earth"
really cool post.
wasn't sure whether to post this honestly as technically I was doing something illegal at the time but fuck it, the statute of limitations on liability to the club has LONG since passed. plus I'm not naming the club and there are many in downtown to
my first job in adult was as a dj in a strip club. I had just turned 16 and as a bday prez from a friend got a wicked fake ID for the usual obvious reasons (opening my own bank account without a parent co-sign, not having older friends harassed if stopped by the cops on my account, voting -I'm kidding...maybe- and wanted to make some real money so I could move out on my own).
I loved it. I don't spend much time in life reminiscing as what's to come is much more exciting to me, but damn, was a hella fun time in my life.
I looked young (didn't look 18 until I was in my late 20's) but was tall and able to communicate well so nobody raised a red flag on the legitimacy of my very realistic ID. plus I didn't drink at all (let alone at work even if I was so inclined at that time towards the devil's nectar) so at least that particular law wasn't broken/a concern to management.
made amazing friends, made a shit ton of cash and was the first and only job I've ever had that was all about music and people. I'd get to know dancers, make them sets to suit their styles and vibes (some being songs they had never heard before but cuz I chose well they picked up the beat immediately always) and got an early taste of 'work really fucking hard, bank and then party til dawn'.
so many after work sessions at after hours clubs to dance to exhaustion and/or sunrise and do art and sometimes on mellow nights just talk and stare at the aquariums in the walls being peaceful and quiet together.
could just be myself, in places I wouldn't have even known about if not for the peeps I met through that work
my first real girlfriend I met at that job as well, my god she was beautiful. a very special time in my life in many ways.
did that job for 5 years, was 20 years ago I had to quit as the hours didn't fit my uni schedule. every time I go back to TO I visit, diff talent of course but the same fucking bouncer who has known me for 25 years. He'll outlive us all I swear.
Good times. I love this biz and the peeps I've met at every step along the way through working with them. That first experience def got me hooked.
