Keeping It Real: Is there a difference? People will say all kinds of negative things about a stripper, but is her profession any different from a Playboy playmate or centerfold? They are basically doing the same thing and getting paid for it! Playbunnies get a lump sum and strippers get paid by the dance! They both take off their clothes, use provocative scenario BUT strippers get the bad end of the stick! WHY? Ya Dig?
