Strip Clubs of Gay Washington, D.C. in the 90s (with Craig Seymour)

This week we are catching up with Craig Seymour, an American writer, music critic and former stripper. And, we are heading back to the 1990s to find out about his time stripping at various clubs throughout Washington, DC. At that point in time there was a strange quirk in the zoning laws that meant that strippers could be fully naked and fondled by customers. Whilst a graduate at the University of Maryland, Craig started to write an ethnographic study of the clubs, and what better way to learn about your subject than immersing yourself? We talk all about a number of clubs which include La cage aux folles, Secrets, and Wet, and all of the experiences that lead to Craig writing his memoir, 'All I Could Bare: My Life in the Strip Clubs of Gay Washington, D.C.'
