Eugene Weekly Cover Story
Real! Live! Nude! ... Students?
Women dance their way through school
By Camilla Mortensen "Ziona dances at Phil’s Clubhouse in Springfield and The Nile in Eugene. Call her an exotic dancer, call her an erotic dancer, call her a stripper. Ziona, like many other dancers who work in Lane County’s “gentleman’s clubs,” calls herself a student and a future businesswoman. She’s working to pay off the student loans she racked up while getting her associate’s degree at LCC, and she’s saving up to go back to school to finish her bachelor of arts degree. “I want to start my own business,” she says, “especially in this economy.” "
Maybe Ziona's boobie tassels were on too tight and the blood wasn't really circulating through the area above her shoulders where thoughts come from, but is it really fair to let a statement like that go to print in an article trying to empower working girls who are trying to get an education?
