I am SHOCKED!!!

80 Year Old Stripper - This caught me a little off guard. I guess it's because I cannot even imagine my Mother or Grandmother stripping for a living!!!

It takes a lot to shock me, but I was just shocked!!! I just saw a lady from Las Vegas on TV who is 80 years old & a stripper. She was bragging that she's 36 21 34. In looking at her, she just might be; but her 36 hung awfully low on TV!!! She works out hours every day to keep her body in shape. I admire her determination & courage. My question is to the ladies... do you think that you would want to be a stripper at 80 years of age??? Now my question to the men...do you think you would want to watch an 80 year old stripper??? Be polite as this is somebody's grandmother!!!

As you know LadyM my penchant is for mature ladies not young flibberty gibbets. However, it's their minds that I find most attractive. I don't think that I would want to watch someone my mother's age strip unless I was married to her and much the same age myself. However, I guess that the question is "why shouldn't she strip?" if that is what people want to see and she's willing to perform. But please don't buy me tickets. I'll settle for a nice cup of tea with her after the show.

Seeing as how you've bought them I'll go. Just for research purposes mind! I'll report back once the aroma of Bay Rum and elastic stocking has worn off!

I wouldn't LOL but I don't know other people Some people might watch her out of curiosity and some for admiration whatever the reason is I think she wouldn't be out there if nobody wants to watch her, hence the determination you're right she needs to do something about the 36 hanging low maybe plastic surgery, which she would need in other places too I'm sure but she would be able to afford that someday I guess

I bet that a 90 year old man might, if he can remember WHY he is looking, lol. You know what? I say, "GO FOR IT!!" If that is what makes her happy, then do it. I see nothing wrong with strippers. Men are men and sometimes I take my husband to a bar with strippers. It keeps us "interested", lol. If it were my mother (that is my Mom's age), I would be there shouting, "Go mom!! Show 'em what your mama gave ya!!" LOL Although the thought of my own mom even considering it is a laugh, she is such a prude! LOL

Why??? - I wonder if she really thinks she looks good???
I have NO problem with strippers. I have NO problem with hookers. I just think there is a time they ALL should retire!!! If she was still moving sexy, I might not think o much about it...but she wasn't. My Mom, like yours, was waaay too prudish to be a stripper at 80. She blushed when she saw Madonna's Like a Virgin video!!!

Good question. Do you think you would do this at 80? I know, I know, Princesses do not strip!

Well, Howard, I've only been a princess for about 6 months. Not going into what I was before becoming a princess. No matter what it was, I still can't imagine wanting to be a stripper at 80 years old!!! God knows I have NOTHING against strippers. I just CANNOT imagine my granny up stripping!!!

Hey I give the lady credit for having the guts to do what she wants to do. She looks darn good considering. More power to her. I'll bet she gets tons of tips! I wouldn't do it but if I make it to 80 who knows I may say "What the flip" one day. I have been known to surprise people on occasion!

I am glad someone could move like that. I wonder if she has had a boob job to keep them in place. I do not think I would want to strip at any age let alone 80. She probably likes the money. I think men come to see her for the curiosity.

i'd love to look good enough to strip at that age but I know I wouldn't. I'm 52 and while I still look ok in the right clothes...underneath the cloth is another story. I admire her confidence. I don't have it now and I sure won't have it at 80!

I do not see anything shocking about it. I am surprised that someone that old can find work in the industry that is all. I take it you are shocked by the age not the job. After all strippers have been around for a long time. I assume that some men must be interested as she would not be working or on tv if she had no clients. I think it is great that she is so fit and energetic to strip at her age. I have never had the slightest interest in stripping and I think I would be very bad at it. I also doubt that anyone would want a stripper with my figure. But you never know as this lady shows that there is a market for unusual strippers. I do not have the style to do it. I think it takes a certain amount of style, grace, ability to entertain. I have none of that.

I have friends who are strippers...so, the stripping does NOT bother me. I just can't seem to get past the idea of seeing my granny up there stripping!!! In my opinion, she is on stage & TV simply because she's considered a freak & that idea bothers me too!!! She did part of her dance sans the taking off of her clothes & I felt she was very awkward. When she shimmied, she had parts moving that just shouldn't move!!! I admire her for having the guts to do it, but I feel she is being greatly misguided!!!I'm pretty open minded, but literally felt sick to my stomach as I watched her do her thing. On the surface, she looks good for her age. In less clothing, she's still a wrinkled, shriveled up old woman. There is nothing wrong with that either. I just feel that sometimes more is less. Fully dressed, I can see some young guy looking at her & thinking...hmmmm, that's one hot momma. On stage, I hear them sitting around laughing. That saddens me!!!

Well I have worked in the old proffession, but draw a line on how old to carry on with that even though there is a demand for older women...but 80!! Stripper..well that beats me, I'm 50 and retired from my 'work' quite a few years ago..it leaves me gobsmacked..but as you say you have to admire the lady for carrying on at that age and keeping fit well as best she can LOL littleowl

Perky - Even implants slide down some when you get old enough!!!
I have NO problem with her being a stripper. But I do think an 80 year old stripper is ridiculous!!!! If you look at her pic, she looks good for her age. However, if you see her dance, she has jiggles where there shouldn't be any!!! I admired Cloris Leachman on Dancing With the Stars but that 80 year old woman just couldn't keep up!!! If this woman was a good stripper in her younger days, she should have a pretty good nest egg set aside & shouldn't have to still be doing it. I just can't seem to get past walking in a strip bar, looking up & having my granny smiling back at me. I have a neighbor that is in her 70s & still wears micro mini skirts with lowwwww neck blouses. If it's what she wants to do, that is her business, but she looks awful!!! There comes a time when we ALL have to mature just a little bit. It's a shame we can't see ourselves through other people's eyes!!! I know the lady in this pic thinks she looks HOTTT...but this is almost as sad as the 80 year old stripper!!!

I just wonder who she actually would strip for. I suppose if shes got a job at doing it there must be men out there who love her. I guess you are as old as you feel. My Grandmother always said she was a 20 year old trapped in a wrinkled up old body. I really do admire this women and you know what good luck to her. If she has work for her then why not.

I agree. If she wants to do this and she must have clients who are interested or she would not be doing it at all then why not. I have never been interested in strippers but I think she is amazing to be doing something so fit at 80.

I definately would never want to be a stripper and never ever ever at 80 yrs old. If she wants to dance then she could have gone about it another way. Like ummmm maybe not takin her clothes off. She probably strips for older men that get excited at any woman.

HAHA. That made my day. If she wants to do, she is happy doing it,more power to her. Quite personally I wouldn't want to be a stripper even now at the age of 26!

I think she looks pretty good for her age. I think that if the stripper world accepts her, then why not? This is what probably keeps her motivated. I would not want to be a stripper at any age, but I do not have anything against anyone who does. I guess the audience shouts go grandma, go grandma.
30 Dec 08
Hi LadyMarissa, He he he, go girl!, no I wouldn't want to be a striper and that age and I wouldn't want to be a striper at all. I can't understand whhy any women that age would want to still do that, well you know what they say, 'if you got it flaunt it' but not so sure at that age, she sure got guts. Great lady. Tamara

The first thought that came to mind was that men will probably go to see her strip but they will be laughing at her. This is incredibly sad that a lady would do this. Would demean herself to do this for men to laugh at her. To be honest, we all know that men are graphic but anyone who would want to see an eighty year old stripper must have serious issues.

I am giggling. She looks nice but only if she leaves clothes ON!! But very inspiring courage and determination to keep her body fit! Nice work. Shall there be more 80 year olds like her, right? ;)
