The Dickinson Press is reporting:
When stripper Susan Shepard started dancing in Williston in 2007, men
were often surprised to see attractive women at the small-town strip
club.
But even as North Dakota’s oil boom was in the beginning
stages, Shepard had friends from all over the country traveling to
Williston to spend a week dancing for workers who had cash to spare and
were lonely for female company.
“It’s all but guaranteed money, same reason everybody else is up there,” Shepard said.
Shepard shares her story, Wildcatting: A stripper’s guide to the modern American boomtown, on the website BuzzFeed.
In
an interview this week, Shepard said topless dancers in Williston don’t
make thousands of dollars in one night, as one national news story
reported, but a slow night in Williston could still bring in $400.
MDW posted that
link to Buzzfeed on July 29, 2013 (a huge "thank you" to a reader) but I buried the story on purpose. Now that
The Dickinson Press has posted the story, a stand-alone post was appropriate. I hate to post anything controversial on the MDW. If you are looking for the
BuzzFeed article, go to the link and scroll to the very, very bottom.
