Stripcast: True Stories from a Stripper with a PhD

My name is Lux ATL, and I am a mother, wife, business owner, former university instructor, and lifelong stripper. From the halls of academia to the strip club stage, my life as a post-academic feminist sex worker has been filled with unique sociological insight, unforgettable friendships, and a thousand beautiful messes in between. These are my true stories of the highs and lows of an ex-academic and lifelong stripper pole dancing for pay on stages all across the South.

What’s up, dudes? Thanks for tuning in to Stripcast: True Stories From a Stripper With a PhD.  

The PhD gave me an intellectual sophistication that changed everything. I could never be who I am without that education.  

However...the strip club taught me a thing or two, as well.   

Drive. Ambition. Focus. Hustle.   

The strip club made a business woman out of me. The strip club made an independent woman out of me. And so today’s episode--is an homage to that.

What’s up, dudes? Thanks for tuning in to Stripcast: True Stories From a Stripper With a PhD.  

Recently, a friend asked me what I was doing on September, 11th 2001. You know what? I know exactly what I was doing.   

This story is about that day, and the day that led up to it. But really, this story is about all of the hopes and dreams, the love and happiness that think will always be there—but that will,  in an untold instant, be gone.  

But...isn’t that moment before the twist just the sweetest thing in life?

What’s up, dudes? Thanks for tuning in to Stripcast: True Stories From a Stripper With a PhD.  

Today’s story is about a man being nice to me. Today’s story is about PTSD….The kind of PTSD you get from moving through life  as a woman. The kind of PTSD that sex workers like myself perhaps deal with more than other women. 

That deep distrust... of any man... doing anything for you... the distrust that his kindness must always have ulterior motives. Thinking always, what does he want? What is he gonna do to me? 

But, you know, sometimes...they don’t want to do anything but be nice to you.

What’s up, dudes? Thanks for tuning in to Stripcast: True Stories From a Stripper With a PhD.  

Today’s episode is about drugs: loving drugs. Admiring drugs. Looking to those doing drugs… getting drunk… getting fucked-up...and seeing rock stars. Idols. Who you wanted to be. Where I come from, loving drugs is my inheritance. It is my legacy. 

...And I wish I could say I was done.

What’s up, dudes? Thanks for tuning in to Stripcast: True Stories From a Stripper With a PhD.  

Stripping: it's just a job, right? It's just about the money...right?     

Today’s episode is about the lies we tell ourselves, the justifications we manufacture, in order to fill the insecurities we try so desperately to mask.
