Georgia: Former stripper glad to see club closed
She was living in Milledgeville when her neighbor, who danced nude at Cafe Erotica, had car trouble and asked Simms to give her a ride to work . . .
“One thing led to another and I ended up working there,” she said.
She doesn’t really remember the first time she danced, but she vividly remembers the drive home.
“I regurgitated all the way home from Warner Robins to Milledgeville,” she said in an unflinchingly frank interview in the coffee shop at her church Wednesday. “I’m sure I’m not the only one who had that experience.”
She’s not proud of what she did, Simms said, but she talks about it because she wants people - the women who dance in such clubs or are thinking about it, and the men who go to the clubs - to know the dark side of what some consider to be only harmless fun.
