Laid Off Wall Streeters Turning to Stripping
From The New York Post (of course):
Randi Newton, 28, who lives in Midtown, was a financial analyst at Morgan Stanley before the crash but was fired.
"A few nights after I got laid off, I went with friends to a strip club to get drunk and forget my unemployment troubles," Newton said. "The manager offered me a job as a dancer. I thought it was different. And fun."
Today, Newton, who calls herself an "independent contractor," pole dances at Rick's Cabaret in Murray Hill three or four nights a week and says she makes "$160,000 a year on tips alone."
You can read more about Ms. Newman as her blog, Wall Street Stripper.
