Update: Wednesday 5 p.m. They say nothing disinfects like sunlight. Within a few hours of this story being posted, the advertisement was withdrawn from Craigslist. Coincidence or reaction to all the comments? You be the judge.
So, you think you can dance?
If so, this Craigslist ad's for you.
“We are currently looking for attractive exotic dancers between the ages of 18-30,
as well as ladies interested in becoming a dancer (no experience necessary).”
Applicants who are hired will be required to pay $50/night and work for at least three weeks.
The ad suggests the local gentlemen can be expected to be generous. “St. John is an island in the Caribbean Sea ... It is renowned as the wealthiest of the U.S. Virgin Islands.”
Dancers will stay at an island house. “You will have one roommate, or you may have you own room depending on occupancy,” the listing says. (That’s kind of a strange way of putting it. You’ll have a roommate, or you won’t, depending on how many people are in your room.)
The ad indicates airfare to St. Thomas will be provided, but must be repaid if the dancer doesn't fulfill her three week commitment.
The strip club opened about a year ago, in the old Mixology Warehouse space, on the first floor of the Lumberyard.
