Ep. 116 - Interview: Al aka "Dakota", 1980s Male Stripper

Meet Al, a 59 year old originally from Vancouver Island. A little bit about him: He left the island when he was 23 and has been with his husband for 22 years. Al worked at the Number 5 Orange str!p club in Vancouver Canada for 36 years and retired just last week! I met Al through being a dancer at this same club but something I did not know about Al was that from the age of 25-30 he was an exotic dancer! Going by the stage name “Dakota”, Al paid his way through his College education gyrating his way through local clubs in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Al is retired now and leaving Vancouver behind for the beautiful Okanagan and will be missed by all! We are so thrilled that we snagged him before he left so that her could share with us (and you) his hilarious tales of being a male ex0tic dancer - from “cüm” shows to breaking boats to stage sets with live tigers ! 💦 🛥 🐯

About the Podcast

50 Plus a Tip

A podcast for strippers and open minded hoes

“How much is a dance?” Well... it’s “$50 PLUS A TIP!”

Two stripper best friends sharing the highs and (b)lows of their experience in the adult entertainment industry, with some help from special guests along the way.

While harmful, incorrect stigmas sadly surround the sex industry, Danica and Riley trust that using their podcast platform to share their own experiences and give a voice to others along the way, they can give “outsiders” a glimpse of the real world of adult entertainment and show everyone that they can own their sexuality proudly (and sometimes even profit off of it)!

About your hosts

Danica

Danica is a sarcastic, straightforward, sex-postive feminist with a passion for topics that some may consider “taboo.” With a psychology degree under her belt, a public speaker/ university guest lecturer, a devoted sex workers advocate and a successful career as an exotic dancer - she knows some stuff!

Danica lives her life by two philosophies: 1) it’s better to have a life of “oh well”s than “what if”s and 2) be unapologetically you! Her years of experience as a sex worker have given her a passion and drive to do what she can to eliminate the dangerous stigma that currently surrounds the sex industry. She is confident that sharing her stories as an active sex worker can do just that - show women (and men) that they can own their sexuality proudly (and sometimes even profit off of it)!

Riley

Riley is a down-to-earth, career dancer with over seven years in the industry. Originally from New Zealand and now based in Canada, her path began as a topless poker dealer and quickly grew into a dynamic career as an exotic dancer, dominatrix, and cam model. With a degree in statistics and currently pursuing a bookkeeping certificate, Riley plans to use her education to help others in the industry navigate their finances while challenging the stigma that surrounds sex work. A lifelong learner with a love for travel, she sees her career not just as a job, but as a platform to advocate, educate, and celebrate the freedom of owning one’s sexuality.
