Re: I hope you saved that hair as a sacred offering...
Alas, I did not. It was of questionable origin. Not glittery enough to be from a well-coiffed dancer. Not long enough to be definitively from a serving wench. Not curly enough to have been from a table dancer. It could have been from the cook, the dishwasher, or, now that I think about it, the men's room attendant. Bleah.
In any case, I read an article that said that the ACLU is taking up the cause of Foxy Lady, seeing this as a First Amendment case.
As far as I can recall, this is the first time I've heard of that group taking up a case for sexual workers, though it isn't exactly a pro-pay for pay situation.
It's a welcomed development, in any case.
From what I read, I see it as punishing the many for the actions of a few. Involving management for improper supervision or enforcement of the rules can be legitimate but punishable by a fine or "time off" from work rather than a complete shutdown with the loss of 200+ jobs.

I wonder what the testimony for the defense will be like. "I promise things ALL the time and I NEVER deliver! Just ask my string of character witnesses."
- Al "One of the best rip off artists ever."
- Bob "She promised me everything and gave me nothing. $300 down the toilet."
- Carl "Went to VIP room with her and spent 100s on champagne. I ended up getting screwed, but not in the good way."
- Don, Jr. "I was spending Dad's money so I don't care. Dad said I should sue her for non-performance."
- Eric "Yeah, what he said."
- Frank "Promises, promises. I promise you I will never go to the VIP with her again. Rip off!"
- George "She told me that she was a virgin. Considering that nothing went on in the room, I'll bet she still is."
- Impposter "I found a hair on my pizza. I didn't save it."
- Jack "Blow job? Yeah, I ended up with her spit in my ear."
