Sex Workers To Perform At College
Strippers, Hookers Talk About Jobs

POSTED: 8:28 am EDT March 23, 2009

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. -- The sex workers are going to back to college Monday.

The Sex Workers' Art Show will return to Virginia's College of William and Mary for the fourth straight year.

Monday night's show features strippers, hookers and other sex workers performing and talking about their jobs.

This year, there will be a public forum where members of the community can air their views on the controversial show. Some people have complained a college is no place for sex workers to perform.

One of the few jobs left, I guess.

2. Well, that's probably the fastest way to clear student loan debt.
Still, I don't think I'd command that high a fee.

4. Well, at least some people are still working in this country.
And setting a good example for those getting a college education, yet.

9. funny how this show cost the president his job last year
not that he did anything wrong, but some closed-minded fundie cretins drummed up a lot of mock outrage (a no-name spotlight stealing state legislator had a couple of damning quotes as well), and used the controversy to force him out...Nevermind the president was a renown law professor and first amendment expert who knew legally his hands were tied even if he wanted to stop the show...

and lo and behold the show is back a year later like nothing happened...

12. Witty jokes aside, I actually think this is pretty awesome.
Yay for art and dialogue and sex workers having a voice!

13. Well, after all, it's a growth industry; we need an expanding and enlarged economy.
It's time to think big, and inside the box.
