new legal doctrine: shake whatcha mama gave ya

Like so many other topics I blog about... this one speaks for itself (res ipsa loquitur) and requires very little commentary, which is a good thing, because I have so much to get done today, I can barely see straight.

This woman, after practicing law for ten years, has now resorted to dancing topless to pay the billsThe Topless Lawyer - It sounds like a bad porn and evokes images similar to Britney Spears' debut.  "The job is less hostile than any law office she's worked in, she said."  As a female (former) attorney, I feel like I should say more about this topic.  I feel like I should be more affected by this.  But I'm not.  I honestly can't even say I blame her.  More than anything, I feel a strange sense of pride for the renegade lawyer for her choice.  And that's what it was... A choice.  She chose to dance almost-naked at a strip club rather than seek another terrible legal job in a terrible market.  She's making more money by shaking it for complete strangers.  She appreciates and respects her coworkers more now than in her previous profession.  Heck, even her clients are more tolerable, despite that they "grab her, bite her, [and] kiss her..."  Wow.

I would include an image with this post... but I would hate to run afoul of the law.
