Swift specializes in the history of sexuality, gender, and labor in the U.S., and she's writing a book about the history of sex worker social movements in which the Lusty Lady features prominently. A couple of years ago, I covered Star Garden, a strip club in North Hollywood, which unionized through SAG-AFTRA. But there's a classic example of stripper unionization that's THE case study often pointed to: Strippers at San Francisco's Lusty Lady organized into the Exotic Dancers Union in 1996. The Exotic Dancers Union was affiliated with the Service Employees International Union. Eventually, the strippers bought the club and ran it as a worker-owned co-op until The Lusty Lady closed in 2013.  This episode dives into Jayne's research on sex worker social movements and how sex workers are responsible for the rise of sex positivity and sex-positive politics/feminism.

In Part 2, we dive into the story of how The Stud Collective pulled out the seemingly impossible—they found a new home in South of Market.   After a quick history of the space at 1123 Folsom (a leather bar in the Seventies called The Stables, Julie's Supper Club, a sports bar, a restaurant called Radius, and a vegetarian restaurant called Wellspring Commune that was a front for a cult called The Tribal Thumb, who were affiliated with the Symbionese Liberation Army ... and that space is rumored to have been one of the places that the SLA kept Patty Hearst—oh, San Francisco), Rachel guides us on a tour of the original location of The Stud, which was opened by Alexis Muir (a trans woman) in 1966.   Muir ran the OG Stud, also on Folsom west of the current location, for several years. Originally, it was a kinky/leather/cowboy/Western bar. It was the same year, just months before, that the Compton's Cafeteria Riots took place. Just a few years after it opened, The Stud shifted themes to more of a queer hippie bar. But one thing that helped it stand out from the get-go was its inclusivity.   The Stud remained in that original spot on Folsom until 1987. After Muir, a group of Milwaukee hippies who were also affiliated with Hamburger Mary's took over ownership. After this group, toward the end of the Seventies, another group took over. In 1987, following a dispute with the landlord, The Stud had to move. They found a spot on Harrison at Ninth that had previously been a nightclub.   We fast-forward a bit to revisit Marke, Rachel, and Honey's introductions to The Stud, which all took place at the Harrison location. Keeping with that spirit of inclusivity that had been a hallmark of the place since its opening, they all feel that it was the one place at the time where any segment of the queer population could feel at home.   In 2016, over Fourth of July weekend, The Stud's then-owner, Michael McElheney (who'd owned the place since the late-Nineties), announced that he was selling the business. The building it was in had been sold, the new landlords tripled the rent, and McElheney was ready to retire. But, as mentioned in Part 1, Nate Albee already had a plan in place.   Within the first week of McElheney's announcement, the fledgling collective presented the plan and it was accepted immediately. The group was already around 20 members strong. Honey and Rachel talk about other SF collectives and worker-owned businesses that they turned to for guidance and inspiration—Rainbow Grocery, Arizmendi, and the now-closed Lusty Lady. Marke says that, from its origin, the collective also wanted to serve as a beacon for how to do this elsewhere in the queer nightlife space.   On New Year's Eve 2016, The Stud Collective threw its Grand Opening party. The place never shut down between the previous owner and the collective taking over, but it felt right to celebrate the takeover.   Then, a little more than three years later, COVID hit. The rent was already exorbitant and they had decided to try to find another place. Once it became obvious that the shutdown was going to last longer than we all thought, they got out of the lease at the spot on Harrison, and even threw a funeral online. It wasn't an easy decision, but it turned out to be a unanimous one for the collective.   The Grand Opening Night at the new location took place this year on April 20 (haha?) and was themed "Stud Timeline." The first hour, which began at 6 p.m., was Sixties, the second hour was the Seventies, and so on. The Cockettes were there. Queer elders showed up. There were also first-timers.   It was a big deal, and the night was emotional for them all.   I asked them to plug events at The Stud during Pride, and Rachel obliged on behalf of the group: Friday, June 28, "Forever" with (co-op member) Vivian Forevermore Saturday, June 29, "Les Femmes," a celebration of dolls, twinks, and bimbos Sunday, June 30, a "marathon party" with a drag show hosted by Princess Poppy   We end Part 2 with Marke, Honey, and Rachel responding to this season's theme on the podcast: We're all in it.   We recorded this episode at The Stud in South of Market in June 2024.   Photography by Jeff Hunt

For the 141st episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes Velveeta, a Star Garden stripper and organizer, to explain how their 15-month fight for union recognition ended in victory in May. This was the most popular episode of 2023. The spark that ignited the unionization campaign was lit in March of 2022 when the club's security guards repeatedly failed to protect dancers from threatening and abusive behavior from patrons. Dancers were illegally fired for bringing concerns about safety and security to management. With the assistance of Strippers United, a 501(c)3 organization led by strippers that advocates for strippers' rights, Star Garden's strippers began picketing outside the strip club to protest unsafe working conditions. Picketing continued every week through November outside the club's location on Lankershim Blvd in North Hollywood, California. Last August, the dancers announced they had affiliated with Equity. Shortly afterward, the national union filed for an election with the NLRB on behalf of the dancers. In the fall, the labor board conducted an election by mail. A vote count was scheduled for November, but the results were put on hold by the NLRB due to employer objections and legal filings. On Monday, May 15th, lawyers representing the owners of the Star Garden withdrew all election challenges, agreed to recognize the union and meet with the Actors' Equity Association across the bargaining table within 30 days to negotiate a first contract. The club reopened for business as a union club in August. Star Garden's dancers are not the first strippers to seek union recognition. Strippers at San Francisco's Lusty Lady organized the Exotic Dancers Union in 1997. They were affiliated with the Service Employees International Union. The Lusty Lady closed in 2013.

For the 127th episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak takes you inside the historic reopening of Star Garden Topless Dive Bar, now officially America's only union strip club — and only the second club to unionization in the country, period, after strippers at San Francisco's Lusty Lady organized the Exotic Dancers Union in 1997. On Monday, May 15th, lawyers representing the owners of the Star Garden agreed to recognize the union and meet with the Actors' Equity Association across the bargaining table within 30 days to negotiate a first contract — and now, 3.5 months later, the club opened back up for business on Thursday, August 24th. Kocak was there to talk to dancers Selena, Wicked, and May and the lead negotiator, Andrea Hoeschen, General Counsel for Actors' Equity Association. Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine was also there to sing a few songs and show his support for the strippers. Kocak and her friend Stacey were also excited to be the first customers inside when the club reopened its doors. The spark that ignited the Star Garden unionization campaign was lit in March of 2022 when the club's security guards repeatedly failed to protect dancers from threatening and abusive behavior from patrons. Dancers were illegally fired for bringing concerns about safety and security to management. With the assistance of Strippers United, a 501(c)3 organization led by strippers that advocates for strippers' rights, Star Garden's strippers began picketing outside the strip club to protest unsafe working conditions. Picketing continued every week through November outside the club's location on Lankershim Blvd in North Hollywood, California. Last August, the dancers announced they had affiliated with Equity. Shortly afterward, the national union filed for an election with the NLRB on behalf of the dancers. In the fall, the labor board conducted an election by mail. A vote count was scheduled for November, but the results were put on hold by the NLRB due to employer objections and legal filings. The NLRB was scheduled to hold a hearing in May over the employer objections, but that hearing was canceled when lawyers representing the owners of the Star Garden agreed to recognize the union.

For the 124th episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes writer and sex worker advocate Antonia Crane. Antonia is the founder of Strippers United (formerly Soldiers of Pole), the author of the sex work memoir Spent, and a current Ph.D. candidate at USC. As you may know from the recent episode with Velveeta of the newly unionized Star Garden strippers in North Hollywood, California, they were hugely inspired by the Lusties of the Lusty Lady in San Francisco. The Lusties were the first strippers to successfully unionize in the U.S., back in 1997. And the Star Garden dancers also got assistance from Strippers United. Antonia Crane has been involved in both of these efforts. She was one of the original co-founders of Soldiers of Pole (now Strippers United), and she helped inspire this whole new generation of activist strippers. This is part two of a two-part series. The last episode was part one, featuring an interview with Antonia from 2019, and this episode contains a follow-up interview conducted in 2023, with a lot more backstory on Antonia's experience at the Lusty Lady in the 90s.

Antonia is the founder of Strippers United (formerly Soldiers of Pole), the author of the sex work memoir Spent, and a current Ph.D. candidate at USC.

The 15-month effort to gain union recognition by dancers employed at the Star Garden Topless Dive Bar in North Hollywood, California, ended in victory this week. For the 116th episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes Velveeta, one of Star Garden's newly unionized strippers, to explain how this historic milestone came to be. On Monday, May 15th, lawyers representing the owners of the Star Garden withdrew all election challenges, agreed to recognize the union, and will meet with the Actors' Equity Association across the bargaining table within 30 days to negotiate a first contract. The club also will reopen for business and bring back dancers who were dismissed last year. The spark that ignited the unionization campaign was lit in March of 2022 when the club's security guards repeatedly failed to protect dancers from threatening and abusive behavior from patrons. Dancers were illegally fired for bringing concerns about safety and security to management. With the assistance of Strippers United, a 501(c)3 organization led by strippers that advocates for strippers' rights, Star Garden's strippers began picketing outside the strip club to protest unsafe working conditions. Picketing continued every week through November outside the club's location on Lankershim Blvd in North Hollywood, California. Last August, the dancers announced they had affiliated with Equity. Shortly afterward, the national union filed for an election with the NLRB on behalf of the dancers. In the fall, the labor board conducted an election by mail. A vote count was scheduled for November, but the results were put on hold by the NLRB due to employer objections and legal filings. The NLRB was scheduled to hold a hearing this week over the employer objections. That hearing is now unnecessary and has been canceled. Star Garden's dancers are not the first strippers to seek union recognition. Strippers at San Francisco's Lusty Lady organized the Exotic Dancers Union in 1997. They were affiliated with the Service Employees International Union. The Lusty Lady closed in 2013. So that's how the Star Garden dancers became America's only unionized strippers at the moment. Perhaps they will inspire others just like they were inspired by the Lusties.

For the 107th episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes historian and former Lusty Jayne Swift. Swift specializes in the history of sexuality, gender, and labor in the U.S., and she's writing a book about the history of sex worker social movements in which the Lusty Lady features prominently. Currently, a strip club in North Hollywood called Star Gardens is trying to unionize. But there's a classic example of stripper unionization that's THE case study often pointed to: Strippers at San Francisco's Lusty Lady organized into the Exotic Dancers Union in 1996. The Exotic Dancers Union was affiliated with the Service Employees International Union. Eventually, the strippers bought the club and ran it as a worker-owned co-op until The Lusty Lady closed in 2013.  Stay tuned for full episodes about the Lusty Lady and Star Gardens in the near future, but first, we're going to lay a little groundwork and dive into Jayne's research on sex worker social movements and how sex workers are responsible for the rise of sex positivity and sex-positive politics/feminism.

This week we have a very special episode. As you all know, Daisy was part of the iconic club, The Lusty Lady. They were pioneers in striking and winning rights for themselves. Now a newer generation has learned from what the LL dancers accomplished and they've won this first and very important step in workers rights for strippers!

Reagan and Velveeta have been working with fellow dancers to unionize the Star Garden Topless Dive Bar. While the club is contesting the results of their union vote from back in November, it looks like these ladies will succeed in forming the only stripper union in America! This will be the second unionized strip club in the history of the country, the first being the Lusty Lady in San Francisco which closed in 2013. We discuss the physical harassment and other unsafe working conditions that drove the Star Garden dancers to unionize. After petitioning their employer, 18 dancers were locked out of their workplace in March of ‘22. As a result, the women were driven to escalate their tactics to striking and picketing in front of the club. They've since collected union cards and voted in an official union election. Moving forward, the Actors Equity Association will assist these women as they bargain for a contract. To raise money for the out-of-work dancers on strike, Reagan and Velveeta and some other dancers in the community have been using a side project, the Stripper Co-Op, to put on brilliantly unique and vibrant pop-up strip shows at various venues. The money raised through the Co-Op is distributed fairly amongst the strippers, and they also donate a portion to mutual aid. Donations made between the Stripper Co-Op and its previous virtual iteration, the Cyber Clown Girls, total over $50,000 from May 2020 to the present to over 100 different orgs. The Stripper Co-Op was also inspired by the worker-owned Lusty Lady.Follow @stripperstrikenoho on Instagram and Twitter! @stripstrikenohoPlease support their strike fund here! Sign their petition for safety here!You can also follow their Stripper Co-op on Instagram: @stripperco_op or Shoutout to @jessejamz for crafting the lovely fancy version of the Stripper Strike cocktail!

This week I speak with the prose writer Jennifer Worley, the fall 2022 resident of The Kerouac Project of Orlando.

De plus en plus d'employés aux États-Unis tentent de se syndiquer, dans de grandes entreprises et parfois, aussi, dans de petites structures. À Los Angeles, les danseuses d'un strip-club sont en grève depuis six mois pour demander de meilleures conditions de travail. Ces derniers mois, aux États-Unis, des employés ont multiplié les efforts pour se syndiquer. Parfois, avec succès, comme dans des entrepôts du géant Amazon ou chez Starbucks. À Los Angeles (Californie), c'est une toute autre industrie qui connaît ce genre de remous : celle du strip-tease. Des danseuses du Star Garden, un petit club du nord de la ville, sont en grève depuis mars dernier. Elles réclament plus de droits, notamment en matière de sécurité vis-à-vis des clients : « On m'a pelotée, mordue, léchée, raconte Lilith, l'une des danseuses gréviste, au micro de Loïc Pialat. Un client m'a soulevée et m'a portée pendant une bonne minute sans que personne n'intervienne. » Leur demande à former un syndicat doit être examinée par le NLRB, l'agence fédérale en charge des négociations collectives. Si elles obtiennent gain de cause, elles deviendraient les seules strip-teaseuses syndiquées du pays, mais pas les premières. Les danseuses du Lusty Lady, à San Francisco, avaient réussi à se syndiquer dans les années 1990. Le club a fermé ses portes en 2013. Attaques à l'arme blanche au Canada : un suspect retrouvé mort Les autorités canadiennes ont retrouvé l'un des deux suspects des attaques de dimanche 4 septembre, dans la province de la Saskatchewan. Deux frères étaient recherchés, soupçonnés d'avoir tué dix personnes et blessé quinze autres dans deux villages isolés, dont l'un à forte population autochtone. Le corps de Damien Sanderson présentait plusieurs blessures, il aurait pu être tué par son frère qui reste introuvable pour l'instant. Ce dernier, connu défavorablement des services de police, pourrait avoir été blessé, d'après la commissaire adjointe de la Gendarmerie royale du Canada. Pérou : scandale politique au Parlement La présidente du Congrès péruvien a été destituée, lundi 5 septembre, après une motion de censure votée par les membres du Congrès. Lady Camones a été sanctionnée après la diffusion d'enregistrements dans lesquels le chef de son parti de droite appelle à faire adopter en priorité une loi de redécoupage électoral qui favoriserait sa campagne. Elle n'était à son poste que depuis un mois. De nouvelles élections doivent se tenir pour lui trouver un successeur. Le même jour, le président Pedro Castillo a nié, une nouvelle fois, les faits qui lui sont reprochés. Il est sous le coup de plusieurs enquêtes pour corruption et trafic d'influence et a été entendu par la justice lundi 5 septembre. Pour le moment, le président est protégé par son immunité. L'audition de son épouse, appelée à comparaître également, a quant à elle été annulée à la dernière minute. ► À lire aussi, la revue de presse des Amériques : À la Une: instabilité politique chronique au Pérou Et à la Une du Journal de La 1ère Et à la Une du Journal de La 1ère : en Martinique, les enseignants affectés en métropole refusent plus que jamais de quitter leur île. ► Écouter le Journal d'Outre-mer La 1ère

Reagan tells us all about the serious security issues and disputes with management that caused the dancers to walk out and strike. We'll hear about the similarities between the current strike and the historic action at San Francisco's Lusty Lady which ultimately led to the dancers unionizing and buying the club to form a co-op. Even if you can't join the picket line in person, you'll learn all the ways you can show support for these brave dancers and their fight for safety and basic labor rights. Tune in and let's have a chat.

In today's episode, Daisy Ducati talks with her good friend and mentor, Pandora Noir, about the legacy of the Lusty Lady and what went wrong at the world's first unionized, co-operatively owned peep show.

Tune in to hear about the good, the bad and the pretty, and just how powerful we can be when we put our heels together.

San Francisco Author Jennifer Worley reads from her new book "Neon Girls." It's about her time as an exotic dancer at the Lusty Lady theater.

Whatever happened to the peepshow? You know what I'm talking about. The little booth that you can peer through to see scantily-clad women dance for you. Sometimes there were even smaller venues that were connected to sex stores. Some just aired pornographic material 24/7. For a few quarters, you can pop in and get some live entertainment. But where did these venues go? I speak with former peepshow dancer, Sunshine McWane, to speak about her experience of working in numerous peepshow establishments. Sunshine has worked in peepshow venues for years until one the last standing establishments closed its doors for good back in 2019. Before that, she worked at six different venues around the USA, including both location of ever-so-popular, The Lusty Lady, originating in Seattle and then branching out to a sister location in San Francisco. She reminisces of a time when peepshows were in its heyday – employing up to 5 girls a shift on weekend evenings when the club was “stacked”. She speaks about the incomparable comradery with the other ladies in the venue that she just can't find to this day. We go over fees and payment structure, what happens in a Private Pleasure booth, how peepshow entertainment was a precursor to camming and how technology killed this form of sex work. Sunshine continues her quest of finding these establishment around the country. Do you know of any?

Antonia and AM were destined to meet and have spent the last two years building and working on and for Soldiers of Pole together with a team of amazing sex workers.  Antonia has been a stripper for 26 years, was one is the dancers that unionized the Lusty Lady in San Fransisco and is the founder of Soldiers of Pole.  A pioneer of strippers rights, Antonia has a wealth of experience in labor rights for our community.

This week we have an interview with author and professor Jennifer Worley, who recently published a memoir called Neon Girls: A Stripper's Education in Protest and Power.It's intriguing anytime you get a peek into a somewhat private, secretive world. But this isn't just any stripper or any strip club. We're talking about the Lusty Lady in the grunge-era ‘90s where there was a small but important revolution happening. The Lusty Lady was known as sort of a feminists' strip club. They allowed things like piercings and tattoos, while other clubs didn't allow such things. They encouraged a range of body types, not just the blond bombshell archetype. There also were no lap dances, which as you'll read in the book really differentiated the Lusty Lady from other clubs in terms of the vibe of the place as well as the relationships between the dancers.Despite its plusses, it turned out there were also some inequities and, alarmingly, hidden cameras discovered at the Lusty Lady. When management didn't address their concerns, Jennifer and a cohort of her fellow strippers to start a union. And they didn't stop there, they went on to buy out the whole club and became the first worker-owned strip club. They were basically a stripper co-op and the story of how they did it is fascinating.Both highly personal and searingly political, Neon Girls: A Stripper's Education in Protest and Power is a thinking woman's exploration of sex work, labor, and collective power. It's also a page-turner! I honestly could not put it down.Jennifer went on to become an English professor, and she continued her labor-activism continued later in life as President of the faculty union at City College San Francisco.I loved this conversation with Jennifer and I hope you do too!As always, if you would like to be on the show, or know someone who would be great, please hit me up!Relevant links:Jenny WorleyNeon Girls: A Stripper's Education in Protest and PowerCity College San FranciscoSupport the show (https://patreon.com/meanmagazine)

“The funny thing about Crash Pad is: you know that I know that you know that I know that there’s cameras in there." //In Part 2 of my interview with Shine, we focus in on Why Are People Into Voyeurism. //Shine tells a legendary tale of how seeing herself in the mirrors at the Lusty Lady inspired Crash Pad Series. We discuss how the voyeurism themes of CPS means she’s both removed her queer woman of color gaze and inserted that gaze into every single scene; how CPS has changed over 15 years of queer p*rn production; why you should pay for your porn; why asking first is necessary. We also explore: Why is voyeurism considered so creepy? Is the voyeur a top? When is looking like touching? There's also some nerdy camera talk and Shine's conspiracy theory about P*rn Hub. //Shine Louise Houston is the founding producer and director of Pink and White Productions (CrashPadSeries.com, PinkLabel.tv). During a five-year position at the women-owned sx toy purveyor Good Vibrations, Shine recognized an underserved demand for an alternative to mainstream p*rnography. In 2005, she quit her day job to form a p*rn company, kickstarting a renaissance in queer-made p*rn. A graduate from the San Francisco Arts Institute with a Bachelors in Fine Art Film, Shine has always had a unique vision for adult cinema. Her work has been recognized for its craft and cultural contribution to LGBTQ communities around the world. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In our continued commitment to post-modernity, Episode 6, “Why Are People Into Exhibitionism?!” with very special guest Carol Queen was recorded live in front of an audience at Catalyst Con East last March … which means that Tina and Dr. Queen talked about the love of having sex in front of other people in front of other people. Of course, Exhibitionism is about more than getting off on being watched while you fuck. It’s about all kinds of arousal that comes from all kinds of being seen. As Tina and Carol explored, it can be about dressing up and showing off, making money by dancing naked, or sending someone a picture of your genitals in the mail. And of course, where would exhibitionists be without voyeurs like our live audience and listeners like you? Listen in as Tina riffs on all this and more with her hero, a legend in her own time, Dr. Queen.

Pleasures was an adult video store in Sarasota Florida. Lusty Lady was a unionized, worker-owned peep show in San Fransisco. What they had in common (in addition to being a place where people made money for taking off their clothes)  . . . was that the dancers ran the place. Today we speak with Annie and Celeste from Pleasures, and Dahlia from Lusty Lady . . . about labor conditions, power, and autonomy in the stripping biz.
