Bad economy is hurting strippers, too


TAMPA - It seems the lousy economy is keeping guys away from strip clubs.

In Tampa -- a city known for its adult entertainment businesses -- attendance has dropped at usually thriving strip clubs. Joe Redner, the owner of the well-known Mons Venus club, says his business is down 25 percent.

Angelina Spencer is national executive director of the Association of Club Executives, a group that represents adult entertainment clubs. She says she fields calls every day from strip club owners around the country feeling the pinch of a bad economy.

Spencer says entertainment is a luxury item and ``one of the first things people give up.''
But Redner says the economy is having another effect on the business -- it's bringing out more women willing to give pole dancing a try.
