WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Unemployment in Los Angeles County is in thedouble digits, but prospects are looking up for 500 strippers, thanksto the reopening of a landmark nude dancing club on the Sunset Strip.
Salah Almudarris, who owns West Hollywood's The Body Shop, says theclub will reopen Thursday night, creating jobs for about 20 staff andas many as 500 of what he terms "independent contractors."
An electrical fire badly damaged the Sunset Boulevard venue in December.
Almudarris says about 50 women will work each night and they could earn upward of $1,000 each.
The venue dates back decades and was mentioned in the 1980s Motley Crue song, "Girls, Girls, Girls."
Almudarris says area bars may get a boost too, as his club serves no alcohol. |
