I was just randomly browsing the craigslist employment ads for massage therapists--not that I'm looking for a massage job, I just like to see who's hiring--and I saw one for "Knockouts", a day spa for dudes. They're looking for hair stylists and MTs. Well, besides the vaguely suggestive Hooters-type name, they've got some pictures attached to the ad of their current employees in team uniform. In other words, a bunch of young girls in tight t-shirts and short track shorts.
Now, maybe there are a bunch of hairdressers who wouldn't mind plying their craft in that kind of get-up in search of better tips. If an obnoxious customer tries to grope them, they've got sharp objects readily at hand to jab them with. And they don't already live with the confusion between their profession and whoredom. But I cannot comprehend a professional bodyworker who would take a job like that. For the amount of inappropriate touching and skeevy suggestions you'd have to fend off, you'd might as well just be a cocktail waitress if you're a sexy young thing. The money's better, you'd get the same level of benefits (basically none), and you wouldn't have to blow thousands of dollars on massage school tuition.
Wow.
